No pictures today. Saturday was an exhausting day, with rehearsal in the city and me still not feeling well. I slept a lot on Saturday night, but this whole crud thing is complicated now by pollen and allergies, so I can’t tell what’s what.
Today I go in for an afternoon run-through which means I’ll leave this morning and won’t be home until late this evening. Tomorrow: off. Wednesday, a very early trip into the city for a final run-through before the show heads into tech in New Jersey. And then, 4 or 5 days later, I’ll drive to NJ for a dress/tech and maybe a preview, depending on how it’s going. And then I’m done!!
But the big news is this:
Our dear friend Adrian got a new heart last night!
On Easter!
Don happened to call Adrian in the afternoon, just after Adrian had received the news that a heart was available and that it was a match. We kept in touch with his wife, Margaret, as he went into surgery around 5:00 California time. We really didn’t hear anything more until this morning when Don sent a text to Margaret. The surgery took longer than expected because he had some bleeding problems, but that seems to have been resolved and he’s back in ICU, intubated and still sleeping.
Now, we wait.
Adrian and Margaret could use your prayers, my friends.
An amazing day yesterday.
Stay safe.
Happy Monday.
you’ll both get there, but i’m sorry you and don aren’t feeling better yet. plus allergies and long work/travel days on an uneven schedule … ugh. keep healing!

Claudia, it sounds like such long hours when you’re not feeling well…but there’s an end in sight! Take care!
Yes I will pray for your friend and his family

Sending prayers to your dear friend and his family, too!
Hope you and Don are feeling better real soon, too!
That’s great news about Adrian! Wishing him a speedy recovery and continued good health.
Whatever you both have is sure hanging on. I couldn’t think of a worse time between the work, and allergy season. Hoping you’ll both feel better soon.
Rest up…and enjoy your day! ;)
So happy for Adrian. Wishing him a good recovery and good days ahead. And hope you and Don feel better as well.
Claudia, I watched “Spoiler Alert” on Friday and very much enjoyed it and your performance.
Hope that you and Don feel better soon.
Am praying for your friend, Adrian.
Thank you so much for letting me know, Dorothy. I’m pleased that you enjoyed it.
Stay safe!
A New heart on Easter. Very propitious. Good luck to him and his family
Wonderful news about your friend Adrian…prayers for a smooth recovery.
It doesn’t sound like you are feeling much better but at least there is an end to work in sight now and you can rest more. I hope you and Don will be recovered soon.
Take care
That is wonderful news about Adrian’s new heart, but of course tempered with thoughts of the donor and those that loved them.
Talk about a resurrection story! Three cheers for Adrian and to the person who donated this precious organ.
I hope you’re soon over all this and can just relax. At least the work part will be done and you can focus on getting well. Hang in there. The tunnel light is getting closer.
How you must dread the travel these next days when you’re still feeling so sick.
That’s fantastic news about Adrian. Prayers and healing vibes for him and caring thoughts for his donor’s family, too.
Such good news for Adrian and Margaret. This brings home how important organ donation is. Prayers for everyone involved. Take care, Claudia. You’re in the home stretch now. Hugs, Elaine
What a beautiful Easter gift for Adrian! Blessings to him, his family and friends and the donor family and friends.
I hope you and Don keep improving quickly.
