Good Morning All. 44° and clear skies today. A bit chilly this Good Friday morning. Yesterday was a wonderful day weatherwise, clear sunny, light breeze and 68°. It's beginning to dry out a bit. I did spend a little time hand-weeding around onion plants in the garden. Not as much as I wanted because I was still a little tipsy from the sedative earlier. Speaking of the procedure, I am still amazed at the assembly line precision of the clinic visit yesterday. Eleven different people had a part to perform, each had a specific function which they did like clockwork and then handed me off to the next person(s). I was in and out including the inevitable paperwork in about two hours. And this clinic had six other patients simultaneous to me for various procedures, with additional ones rotated in and out per their schedule. Heck! They even had a nurse whose specific and only duty was to escort patients from recovery out to their awaiting vehicles to take them home. Much better than the "hurry up and wait" process at the hospital clinic that I went to thirteen years ago for the upper GI.
Johnny/Garry - In retrospect I probably didn't need the anesthesia but heck, Medicare and supplemental insurance paid for it all (I think), so what the heck.
Things were slow and easy in the train shed yesterday. For a change of pace, I assembled a Walther's ranch style house kit from the stock shelf, that will be used in a city suburb already under construction on yet to be photographed part of the layout. I'm stockpiling completed structures now but probably won't get the area actually completed until 2020. In between the times while glue was drying on this structure, I began work on the family cemetery for the homestead site that has been under construction.
Thanks for the well wishes from everyone. My wife thought of me as well, as she fried up some bacon yesterday morning during my period of hunger! My computer is adjacent to the kitchen!
Johnny - Thanks for the videos. Yeah! One has to wonder about folks going to medical school just to look at colons and rectums! But to think about it, some people (anesthesiologists) go just to put people to sleep!
Justin - That photo of the train going under the CSXT line was quite appropriate for what I went through yesterday!
Garry - Regarding the business owner, "if the shoe fits..." Thanks for the laugh.
Gene - I get a video disc when I go back for the follow-up.
Louis - Good to hear from you again. Glad that everything is going well. Don't overdo it as I know that you tend to do.
Everybody have a great day. And if you observe, have a good "Good Friday" and a "Happy Easter" and remember why we celebrate.
