Miley foster dog had a great first night at new home, slept in bed with foster moms. no issues.

I think I found someone who wants all of my Legos and it is someone I know and a blended family with lots of kids who do great political work locally, so I am so happy to basically give them this stuff.

Wow, Gud!

I don't think so, he's way smarter than I am. He's a literal genius.

That seed fell on some awfully fertile soil.

ack - sending any email to former employer just gets me all worked up - DONE THOUGH!

Now to put on some music and PACK A BOX!! before making calls to contractors to get bids on work.

Tim met with the cardiothoracic surgeon this morning, and his surgery is in 2 weeks, on the 21st. Seems like it should be straightforward, but, ya know, it's still heart surgery, so it's kind of nerve-wracking. It will be robotic surgery, which is minimally invasive (as opposed to open-heart surgery), and he should be in the hospital for 3-5 days, and then off work for 2 more weeks after he gets home.

Once he's home, I plan to set him up with streaming TV and movies on the iPad in the bedroom so I can get work done, or else I'll murderize him, which will defeat the purpose of surgery to fix his heart.

The surgeon has extensive experience with robotic mitral valve repair, and was fantastic at explaining everything, so I feel pretty good about that. It's just...ack, heart surgery.

Heart~ma, Tep. 2 weeks does not seem like a lot of time to recover! I hope that's because it really is that easy to recover from this. Also anti-murderizing~ma in advance

2 weeks does not seem like a lot of time to recover!

Yeah, that seems wild to me, too! And all the rest of what -t said.

Timelies all!

Congrats to your son, Gud!

The surgeon said 2-5 weeks (ish) after coming home from the hospital (he'll be in the hospital 3-5 days), but that because it's minimally invasive surgery and Tim is young (for a heart patient) and otherwise in rather good health, it wouldn't be unusual for him to go back to work after 2 weeks. But Tim promised that if he needs longer to recover, he'll take it.

Also anti-murderizing~ma in advance

Ha! I admit that I'm hoping he's back to work in 2 weeks. But I won't kick him out the door if he needs longer to recover and binge-watch AHS or whatever.

They have made so many advances in the field of minimally invasive surgery (as I am sure you know because of your job). It is amazing to see, having worked on a surgical assistant class for 15 years!

Much luck and ma and not murderizing to the Stately Lang-Beckmeyer Manor
