Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I just took a call that my friend is in the hospital.  I was talking on the phone with her last night, and I noticed she was confused and couldn't keep her train of thought.  I guess in the middle of the night her husband called an ambulance and she's being tested at the hospital.  I can't help but fear a stroke.  They are doing all the right tests, and hopefully it's a medication problem or something easily remedied.  I felt last night that maybe she had had a couple of drinks, and that and her longtime friends' son's death plus her daughter's dog's amputation would account for the confusion.  Grief is a slog that blurs the mind and I am no doctor, but now I wish I'd tried to talk to her husband last night.  Hopefully, she's in good hands today and whatever it is will be resolved.  I pray so.
