Edd's Gatherin' Place

Recuperation is the new gal in town. Jane’s surgery went very well and amazing, as it may seem she is in very little pain - nothing that 650mg Tylenol tablets cannot take care of. Although if someone from Social Services would make us a visit, they would haul my skinny behind off to some isolated jail for wife beating.

The anesthesiologist came, explained his part in the operation, and then went on to tell Jane what she could expect in the operating room. After asking her numerous questions, Jane told him another anesthesiologist told her after a difficult operation on her elbow that she had a very narrow airway. He began examining her mouth and throat and said she needed to wear a medical alert bracelet and then nonchalantly asked her if she wanted any more complicated surgery done today. He then began saying that if she did it would make his day because she would be a challenge! His name was Dr. Lee and was oriental when Jane’s doctor dropped by Dr. Lee told him Jane wanted him to make her eyes look just like his. I immediately liked this doctor and his humor.

Jane’s eyes look better this morning than yesterday afternoon and she is even feeling somewhat better. Our 10-year-old grandson came late yesterday afternoon to live with us and Jane and he are in the den watching The Karate Kid while he also assembles a 500 piece 3D puzzle of the solar system. Tonight the sky should be clear because I promised to go outside with him and look at the constellations. He about knows the name of each one and can locate them with only the help of a chart giving you the time and general azimuth in the sky.

Time to check on Jane and finish my morning meds so I’ll see you soon…
