5 Nov., 2008 -- A most memorable day, or not

Notes from yesterday, some I wrote, some Grant wrote:

Dye Shot was given by Dr. K.

mam insert wires - Dr. B.

"nuke med" for pictures of wired boob.

after 3 hours, we need 1 more hour for dye to migrate

10:40 am, 20 min

Another "nuke med" picture ("camera" something out of War of the Worlds)


1:20 - wheeled into surgery staging area.

~3:00 pm - in recovery, all signs positive

~4:20 - back in room, asking for beer

5:00 - Vera (I think) took IV out

5:15 - checked out, wheeled to car (Vera wanted to get rid of her)

5:20 - at Walgreens for script

4:30 a.m. in waiting room. We were early.

Dressing up for the party.

Oooh, she's run off, where did she go, oooh!

We looked everywhere, how did she slip away?

Dang it, they found me, buried under blankets on that gurney.


Before. On the way down that hall again.

After. Awake, back to normal, hiding behind a "pillow".

Today, breakfast, and what else, CAMERAS. Research, compare, shop, oooh can I have that
one, Christmas is coming?

Then to the bank for Grant and Fonda to sift through the "valuables" and mementos. My dad
had this 48 star flag tucked into a silver cigarette case. Must have been from the 1940's or 50's.

That's all there is to it. Tomorrow back to Springfield and the itchy bandages come off, I
hope.
