Its over and it was good to eat

Dear Family and Friends,

I woke to a very hungry world this morning but soon I was up and busy.  I drove to the hospital which is about 35 minutes and had a blood draw to determine the blood thickness.  Then I raced back home to start drinking the last 2 liters.  While I drank, made frequent trips to the restroom and worked on an appraisal I watched the clock as I was very anxious to be able to leave for the procedure.  Finally it was time and we drove to the Kaiser hospital on Sand Creek, a beautiful new facility and signed in, no co pay at that time anyway.  Then to the waiting room.  Soon I was showed to my little cube where I lost all my clothes and got issued a very snazzy hospital gown but it was missing its back!  Two very funny guys came in and one worked the computer while the other did an EKG and inserted an IV.  They are never fun.

Soon I was whisked away to the operating theatre and there was more funny banter there.  Suddenly the doctor arrived and he was funnier than the rest.  He went over the dire possibilities, puncturing the wall of the bowl and other possible outcomes.  Then they signaled the beginning and in a few seconds I was sleeping, the next thing I knew I was waking up and before long Marilyn was escorting me from the hospital.  We drove directly to Sylvia's cafe and found it locked up solid, bummer.  Its my go to place when I am at the hospital.  So we changed course for UNOs where soup waited.

Once I got home I was mostly lazy not feeling to spunky.  Then I decided to sit in the spa and found it was 79 degrees.  Yet in a very few minutes I went out and it was 96.  I opened it up and slipped in to the warm and circulating water.  I ended up staying there for about 30 minutes, Marilyn came out on the upper deck and kept an eye on me.  I so enjoyed the spa and the warm water.

Now I'm getting ready to head to bed.  Its been a good day and so far the report is that they snipped a couple polyps  and that all was well.   That was very good news, the news I had prayed for and hoped for.

So wishing all of you a very good night,

Love
