L1036566 taking all the freebies

This is the downtown MTA office where you can get your Senior Citizen pass (including photo) while you wait. So I went - and waited...(but a friend went along, so time passed quickly.) I'm now an official card-carrying senior citizen.

The person above took one of every MTA giveaway they had - subway and bus maps, subway and bus and train schedules, descriptions - all around the office - and he left with a stack nearly two inches high.

My daughter used to love to go to the bank with me - she'd pick up everything they had on the counters and play "bank" at home. (When she was little, I should add!) I guess the guy plays subway at home.

My father isn't eating correctly. He almost choked to death on this thick milkshake - he was sucking it in and not swallowing, and it was sitting in his mouth and throat and I didn't realize - and suddenly he started choking. He was able to expel it - with great effort and without the Heimlich, fortunately. His bones are so fragile, the Heimlich would break his ribs. I don't know if he's less able to swallow, or forgetting, or what.

He'll be evaluated probably today, probably. The speech pathologist coincidentally was within earshot of the choking and witnessed it all and went back to his floor with us and reported it. We'll see what they recommend. There are some tests that they might want - but I'll talk to his regular (Mt Sinai ) doctor about them. She knows my father - he's been going to that clinic for decades.
