11/29-12/3/53

This post only covers 5 days, instead of the usual entire week. The reason will be obvious in the next post. 

Another strange thing; loose on this page was something I wrote, which clearly belonged back in Book III. It is scanned in here. 

Nov 29 Sunday Lil and Syl went down to the hospital where Syl waited downstairs. I joined them after Allen st. Pop was looking very fine as was mom.

Nov 30 Pop had his second operation today. Milt Gross is dead at 58, Joseph Burstyn at 52 and Sir Benegal Rau at 66.

Dec 1 Pop felt quite uncomfortable. Lil and I saw him today after the operatiion.

Dec 2 Pop was a little better.

Dec 3 I saw Pop. He felt better except for a lot of phlegm that developed. He got a chest xray.
