A Bad Week

It’s been a bad week on the health front. A friend’s mother was diagnosed with metastasized breast cancer. Another friend’s husband died of an infection he contracted during gallbladder surgery. Yet another friend’s mother died just a few hours ago of an infection she contracted during chemotherapy to combat an autoimmune disorder. Yes, the cure worked, the patient died… I feel it’s time for me to go to synagogue to say Kadish.
