Qcard Thought!
Human Hearts ❤
Ok, so my mom just had open heart surgery yesterday. She's doing ok. The surgery went well, and today, they already have her up and walking.
My mom is a very good patient, and she loves to crack jokes.
I wonder what kind of patient Picard would be if his mechanical heart was in trouble. Grumpy? Reluctant or very cooperative? My mom is anxious for a cup of Darjeeling. Picard, well, we know what he'd want.
My mom has her ipad, and yarn for crocheting to help relieve boredom. (Side note: I hope she gets a bigger tv in her room when they move her out of the ICU. You need binoculars to see it from her bed. Sheesh, people.)
I wonder what Picard would have if he was stuck in the cardiac ICU. The latest reports of Borg or Romulan incursion somewhere? Shakespeare texts? Archeology magazines?
My aunt and uncle, as well as my brother and his girlfriend, and I visited her.
Who would visit Picard? Beverly, of course. Will and Deanna? Very likely. Data and Geordi? Sure.
Would Q visit him? Without a doubt he would. But, can't you see Q wanting to interfere with the surgeon's orders or the nurses' care because he could snap his fingers and heal his love in an instant?
What kind of mischief could Q get himself into? How irritating it must be for the omnipotent being to see his beloved and favorite being in the whole Universe being operated on and lying in a medical care unit!
Human hearts...
I can just see Q and Beverly getting into it over Q wanting Picard to leave with him and not bothering with human methods of medical care. Q could and would take care of him. He'd do that, wouldn't he? It could be so easy.
Regardless of the circumstances and people involved, we all wish our loved ones a full and speedy recovery.
My heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the doctors and nurses at the Iowa Mercy Medical Center, and to all our family and friends. ❤🙏
