incommunicado

It's been over 2 weeks since the phone line has been working to access
the internet. I hope that you all haven't lost patience with me.
Because we can't call anyone, we can't order medications for the
pharmacy, or check email, or fax personnel requests, etc. I find that I
get less frustrated with it than I used to, but it's still difficult
being close to being able to communicate and still to not be able to get
through. Especially now that I have my own phone line, which seemed to
coincide with the general shutdown...maybe one more phone overloaded the
whole system. Who knows.....
