Sun is Discharged
Sun was finally discharged from Cedars-Sinai Hospital on March 26 (Thur) after staying there for 16 days. She has lost a lot of weight and is still rather weak. As of now, she can only take soft diet that is high in protein, and low in carbohydrates and fiber. This is because the ability of her intestines to digest food is not fully restored. The hospital has assigned a very capable nutritionist to advise her on her diet.
Sun in Hospital
Many of you have heard that my wife, Sun, had been sick for the last two weeks.
Since early February, Sun had been feeling nauseous and sick in her stomach. At first, she passed it off as being perhaps a viral attack or food poisoning. But as the weeks passed and the symptoms persisted, her regular LA physician, Dr. Sugerman, advised her to see Dr. Feldman (gastro-enterologist), Dr. Fine (internal medicine) and Dr. Philips, a director in Cedars-Sinai Hospital at Beverly Hills.

In the wake of war and depression, the GI Bill sent a generation to college and created the largest middle-class in history. And a twilight struggle for freedom led to a nation of highways, an American on the moon, and an explosion of technology that still shapes our world … We are a nation that has seen promise amid peril and claimed opportunity from ordeal. Now we must be that nation again.”
Common Sense for 2009
The Bible says in Prov. 4:7, that “in all our getting, get understanding,” which is really nothing more than “anointed common sense.” I came across a piece of advice Warren Buffet gave to his shareholders for 2009. I was amazed by the simplicity and common sense found in his approach toward basic management of money. This is what Buffet said:
