Surgery successful

Well, in that Dr Harper was pleased with it and she came out of it in as good shape as you can expect. She was told what a Foley catheter was and that she'd get one because they didn't expect her to walk to the bathroom. She said she'd do it. And she did. No Foley! Her vitals are all good and she's being so good and dignified I felt that I had to pre=empt any nurse ideas that she didn't need a lot of pain meds (she actually has a low pain threshold but in the last year and a half she's learned coping methods -- anybody with chronic pain knows what I mean.


This is Dr. Harper. He's as pleasant, confident, and competent as he looks.

On another front, that allergy I thought I had the other day? I think it may be bronchitis, which is stupid, or maybe some other respiratory thing that makes you feel feverish and gives you an unfulfillable urge to cough. My primary doctor has switched from appointments to "open access" on the grounds that he has to see anybody who shows up anyway and he says people are waiting less because of it. So after the daughter is home I'll wander over there.

scrapbook update

I've put some pictures in my "Lighthouse Field" gallery: a few spring ones and a few summer ones. It's all here.
