Missing Days!

This is one of my favorite cat pictures.  What cuddlers they are!

I'm here to tell you about my Monday day at the hospital.  It was most exciting because I planned to ride the bus.  It was cold as could be with winds blowing like mad.  No bus running due to Veteran's Day, no daughter-in-law to drive me, they were having the day off too.  No one at home at my neighbor's house, Dee was working, so I kept trudging along, found someone at the library and asked for a ride (you get nervy when you get old) and the lady cheerfully gave me a ride to the hospital. 

So I am there, get registered, am directed to sit in a lovely livingroom like waiting area.  At 11 am I am taken to a hospital room where I get kitted out for the surgery table.  Then a young man comes in,
and starts asking me questions.  In retrospect, I think they mostly want to know if you have all your marbles (and I do!)  He leaves, then comes back and takes me into the surgery room.  My favorite Doc is there and talks to me for a while, the the young man gives me multi meds (knock out stuff) and I nicely doze off.  I wake up in the same room, everyone says we are finished and all went well.  They take me back to the first room, I get into my street clothes, the young nurse tells me she will call my ride for me and I said make it a Taxi please.  She gave me an appointment with my Doctor for a week away where we will share information and I was picked up and home by 2 pm.  Very efficient group of people!

So no information yet, but just thought you might like a few details . . .did you?  I can tell you this, despite the efficiency and the pleasant group of people employed at the hospital, it will take a long time to talk me back into one of these things.  Why?  Oh, you who have had this know, don't you.  You are forced to drink a gallon of horrible fluid which will clean out your system totally.  Arrgh!  If someone would re-invent a way to do this that wouldn't involve the fluid, people would be lined up to have this procedure!

Cheers,
