This afternoon I had to go in town early on business (Suppan) and passing one of those driving institutes I had a brain wave and went in to enquire. Result an immediate lesson. I got a quite well I think. Really it is a shame not to be able to drive when owning licence. I did feel ashamed at times,…

Had a chat after photographing with the rather charming woman I found for the problem. Yesterday. Today it was done on different attitudes. Though I’m afraid my hair, washed yesterday, wasn’t too good. Quite good fun this photographing business only a bit expensive. She promised to put my photo out…

Told my people I would like to go to England as Beatie wrote the operation is to be very serious. Besides I said I would like to go to Switzerland as I needed a holiday very badly not having had one for so long. These and I don’t know what so upset Mother that she had quite sort of a crying fit and…

Really Providence is managing things for me. Always when I’m hurt there comes something to help me over. Kind hand of God may be felt always. I get a good, though much deserved blow from the side, then comes a caring from the other. To day it came in the form of an invitation to theatre from…

Nearly thought I couldn’t go home,…

Father went into Hospital again. At present they are doing examinations only but the operation is necessary. He has a lovely big room above the entrance and a new nurse. Dr. Farkas is awfully nice, little Rotterheim (?) also.

Father slightly better after our visit to the Hospital. Dr. Hempel still not overinformative. Means to leave everything to the next operation and Father’s previous stay at their place. It seems Karlsbad will be off after all. I wonder. No sign of Leon. Of course I’ll leave it at that. He must make…

Father to come home in two days only. It seems they think another operation is necessary. I. e. they started the sort which is done in two phases. I hate these people. One of the Drs (Hempel) remembered me on account of my appendicitis years ago. He even remembered the room I was in. I couldn’t…

Father went to the Hospital. He is to be operated tomorrow. He was together with an elderly gentleman for the time. I liked the man.
