Is it Tuesday already? Funny how Mondays get away from me. Guess it's being the Monday after a big holiday in the USA provides me an excuse.
Anyway, welcome all! Love the varied topics our merry gang delves into. The posts about model choo-choos were very interesting, and the pix, too. Regret though that I have nothing to add on that subject.
Humid to the max -- and storms at any time from the tropical mix we're getting -- at least to some degree from that tropical system stirring up in the gulf. This one doesn't figure to produce floods around here, but could bring some down in Louisiana and Texas and maybe elsewhere along the Gulf.
Here in The Waiting Room, thought I would surf around on my patient's chart to read about scheduled procedures. I seem to want to use this contraption to scare the beejabbers out of myself whenever I can. Just for "fun," thought I could copy and paste here -- though not anywhere my family can read -- but found it would not allow me to copy and save it. Probably for good reasons. So I won't quote it verbatim here. It will be s 3-part procedure (with many little moving parts within those three).
First, replacement of my piggy aortic valve from nearly 15 years ago, while on heart-lung of course, with something other than a homograft or stentless graf. (I have a stentless now, but think I can understand why that's not the way to go with all the nipping and tucking and rewrapping necessary this time). Second, fixing the ascending aortic graft, with suspension of the valve (or not). Third, a bunch of words I cannot come close to deciphering, and maybe I shouldn't even quote them here, given the block on copying and saving. Has something to do with very sensitive work with arch vessels. You know me; I'll be googling like crazy.
Okay that's it for me. Hey, got an ego boost. Ran into one of my exercise classmates at CVS and she raved about how good I looked. She may have thought I'd had the surgery,and was looking good in that context. I told her my surgery will be in September and I hope to return to class after rehab, Anyway I will take the encounter as a sign that I don't look too flabby in the Waiting Room. (Still keeping up the walking and exercise-biking. As much walking as we can do in the stifling humidity anyway)....
Okay, I have rambled. Looking forward to hearing what you hearty Coursers have going on! ....
Cheers,
Superbob
