In a few minutes I head for the hospital. This is really the unknown for me as I've never been in a hospital before, and have never had surgery. The hospital does have Wi-Fi (YAY) if I feel up to getting online (BOO). Hoping to be back online tomorrow. |
I had surgery a couple of years ago to remove a defunct appendix. One minute it was around 9am and I was doing the backward count for the anesthetist and, seemingly seconds later, it was 12:30 and I was wide awake in post-op recovery and getting a summary of how it all went. I had been all braced for...I don't know what...and, in DET (Dave Elapsed Time) it seemed I was back in my bed in the ward barely 15 minutes after leaving it. So don't sweat the actual operation - it really will be over in the blink of an eye. |
Get well soon! |

We've arrived at our hotel having driven some 300-plus miles west across Kansas. Dang, Kansas is one flat state, and we still have 60 miles to Colorado. At one point, we experienced something we've only seen on the TV news. We drove through a quarter-mile long dust storm hitting the edge at 65 mph with a visibility of about ten feet. Fortunately, traffic was very light and I was able to slow considerably without fear of being rear-ended. The stiff cross winds really pushed some of those semi's around. Having been in a whiteout snow storm in the Main woods many years ago, I felt a similar fear and disorientation. Not something I wish to repeat ... ever. Tomorrow's another day. |
That's some wild stuff right there. I remember when I was a kid, we'd have hail/rail storms so severe, my grandmother would have to pull over on the side of road until they passed. When I was stationed in Germany, the fog would come rolling in something fierce up there in the Munster area and I'd have to drive very slow at night because it was so thick. |
