Me too, Matt. She's not a great patient.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was going to say, are any of us great patients? but then I remembered 20+ years ago when I had ankle surgery and went in to get the cast taken off, and the staff was scolding a woman who had "converted" her non-walking cast into a walking cast by sawing off some of the bottom, even though she wasn't supposed to be putting weight on it yet. I'm definitely a better patient than that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So much health and other stuff!! I have been reading along and thinking the appropriate reactions but not actually posting them, but know that I am thinking about all of you!!
I had a colonoscopy yesterday and was obsessed with the guy next to me who lives part-time in Spain, so has all of his surgeries there, admitted to 2-3 drinks a night, and only got a B for his prep (I heard after the fact). That guy knows how to party, is what I was picking up.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Before the surgery yesterday, Tim was 5’4” because of the curvature in his spine. Today he’s as tall as me (5’6”), and maybe a little taller. That’s freaking amazing!
My migraine is not totally gone, but it was tolerable to drive up to the hospital. More meds should knock it out.

Our wings are not tired.
That's incredible, Teppy. How is Tim's pain level doing?

Much better today! Last night it was a 7, and today it’s a 2 or 3.

Whenever he was hospitalized, my father was always the favorite patient on the floor. Also in rehab. And in fall class where the olds go to learn how to fall. (Better, not more.)

I’m probably not a great patient because I know too much and am willing to speak up for myself. But I am generally a compliant patient (take meds prescribed, regularly/on time, track blood pressure as requested or whatever).
Went to the US game last night and they looked awful. Just sloppy and couldn’t find each other when passing etc. so not sure I’ll be seeing them beyond the next game, even though I have tickets to several more! V sad.
Yay Tim feeling better, what does the next surgery do then?
