Well, I just discovered--I have amnesia of that week in ICU--that the day after
I was
admitted to ICU I dictated an e-mail to my son for my classes. All the
students in the
four classes, 196 students, were first semester students. I told them to run
the classes
themselves, to finish the project that was being presented at the time I had my
cerebral
hemorrahage and what to do to prepare for the second. I guess I thought I'd be
back in
class in a few days. Well, both the students and my colleagues tell me that
they ran all
the classes like troopers: they wrote their own "Words for the Day" on the
whiteboard,
they wrote the one-word "how do you feel today" word on the whiteboard, took
role, and
presented. Some even videotaped the presentations. I haven't seen any yet.
They all
submitted the issue papers for the second project. At that point, my classes
were taken
over by my colleagues as I went on medical leave.
Make it a good day.
