If you call and speak to that person, s/he may be able to give you a direct answer on what, if anything, is possible for Internet access. I remain hopeful that we can continue to send you messages & vice versa.Lisa Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881671380217888810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14755785.post-14387379561516014602010-06-27T21:18:52.350-07:002010-06-27T21:18:52.350-07:00I fly down on Wednesday, will be admitted on Thurs...I fly down on Wednesday, will be admitted on Thursday, and released on the 6th if all goes as planned.<br /><br />Going to try getting access anyway.

Crapatoonie about not having any i-net access. In this day and age, that is nuts.

Which is going to drive me up a tree. I need my community." <br /><br />Yes, that was my point. In your shoes, I would want to get the cyberhugs. I think that, like me, you're reliant on the blogosphere. So perhaps you can press that nurse a bit further about particulars. <br /><br />BTW, I think one can rent smartphones with a pay-as-you-go plan rather than a subscription. If one of those would work ... I'd happily kick in to a fund for that while you're in hospital.Lisa Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881671380217888810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14755785.post-90162298550559274692010-06-27T16:03:25.243-07:002010-06-27T16:03:25.243-07:00BTW, Lisa, I got home today (badly needing a nap) ...BTW, Lisa, I got home today (badly needing a nap) and found your package.

A and I will both have our laptops, and a flash drive between us, so I can still blog (she'll post for me). What I can't do is read and send e-mails. Which is going to drive me up a tree. I need my community.<br /><br />No cell phones, let alone a smart one. I can get a calling card.

Now *that* would send me into panic mode, since I rely on contacts from my far-scattered friends in times of trouble. <br />Is there simply no place to "plug in"? If so, would a smartphone (like the iPhone) work there?Lisa Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881671380217888810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14755785.post-46939961790346340262010-06-27T12:32:31.077-07:002010-06-27T12:32:31.077-07:00I just sent you a friend request on Facebook.
