went to west regional at 9.15, arrived at 10 ... Met with anesthesiologist... That went quickly enough, about an hour. No food after 8pm Monday. Will be in the hospital Tues night - leave weds. At very minimal risk going under- more danger riding to the place by car.
Then, I rode 45 more min to us health works to get my surgery clearance done...-not so good. The nurse there had an huge attitude problem (and a booty to match) ... Said that there was no way that the results would be back in time for Tuesday. I call the doc back, and telegraph that to his schedule person who arranges tests for me at the hospital I was just at an hour ago.
12:47 pm back at west regional. I'm weary of traveling to wait. I have an urge to sleep. I wish that I could've gotten this all done at once rather than pointless hours on the road... The travel takes a lot out of me.
1:26 pm just did blood, pee and EKG... Waiting on chest X-ray now. Sandy is hilarious! Husband, 2 step kids, 1 natural, greyhound, 2 cats, and a back yard full of wildlife.
1:40 pm - Lots of folks ahead of me, I wonder how long it'll take? They all look sleepy.
2:03 pm X-ray at last
2:13 pm waiting for the ride home no ACIM today, just on call tonight.
2:40 pm - The driver guy is from Uruguay.

A review of A Passion for Sharpened Steel, the history of fencing. Sharp stuff: There exists footage of a samurai sword slicing through a machine gun; and Arab swords were tested by placing them motionless in a stream, where they were expected to slice passing leaves in two as the current pushed them against the blade.
I wonder if there's such a thing as "tragic relief".
oh i wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who, who wrote the book of love?
