I went to my PCP yesterday and got bloodwork and all my lab results were kind of crappy. And I’ve been eating so much oatmeal! Stupid aging and genetics.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

To be fair (to be fair) my “good” cholesterol is pretty great.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
surgery is still surgery and spine stuff is just terrifying.
Truer words... I haven't addressed my issues which are increasing in needing to be addressness.
All the best to your Dad, msbelle.

Surgery is over, they are closing. Family can see him in couple of hours.
Thanks y’all.

Our wings are not tired.
May his recovery be rapid and effective.

Good to hear, msbelle.
In my corner of the medical world. -- we're going to try gabapentin, with a check in tomorrow via phone... well, app... to see how it works, and if not sufficient, an Rx for Perc in the wings -- I have a week long group of work meetings out of town all next week, so I needed a back-plan in place.
Hoping the gabapentin works. Good talk with her. Sucks that I can't take anti-inflammatories, basically.
Now I'm having a burger at my local diner, as my reward for something. And because very hungry.

Since shingles affects the nerves, it makes sense that gapabentin would work. Fingers crossed!

Mom has seen dad and he seems well. The surgery tomorrow is more intensive and longer.
