Swearing off babies does wonders for the cholesterol, too.

I hear.

Swearing off babies does wonders for the cholesterol, too.

Heh. "Is it babies?"

Talked to my dad and he is giddy with how much better he feels. He was on local anesthetic for the stent and could watch the screen showing his arteries, I guess? Says it was like watching a Bergman film, all black and white mysterious flows of substance, apparently it was very clear when the stent was in place and the one artery went from liking like a balloon with a string pinching it shut to a great torrent and all the other veins etc in view had a bunch more blood to work with. I am amazed at the state of medicine these days.

Also talked to my mom who is much more tired than he is after all that, but happy.

That's wonderful, -t! Also, with a local as opposed to heavy sedation, recovery is a lot lot easier, so I'm not surprised that he's immediately feeling a lot better, instead of fighting through the post-anesthetic gronk.

That's great, -t. I love that he was able to watch.

DH is running a jackhammer taking out the old Spanish tile on my pool deck. Next project on the pre-sale list. Going to put down travertine, new coping, and extend the deck a few feet for a lounge chair area. Tricky part is keeping the debris out of my pool since I really don't want to stop swimming every day. I had to take a few days off when they moved the pipes and it was torture.

Making preliminary plans to have surgery to remove my annoying prolapsed uterus. Both my sisters and my mother lost theirs long before my age. Basically doctor says it is the inevitable solution at some point and although surgery never a fun option, better at 67 than 77 or 87. Mostly just talking myself into it. I have to contact the doctor that did my foot surgery because I know it was the 5th pain killer we tried that stayed down so I need to find out what it was. I am a super lightweight and can't take most medications it seems. I had a DNA thing done so I'll give the surgeon the long list of stuff that I can't take. It wasn't cool to find out I couldn't take pain killers AFTER my bunion surgery. Going to be prepared this time. I took nothing but Ibuprofen after my appendix was taken out, and that was mighty uncomfortable. Anyway, not an urgent thing so doing my prep work.

Welcome Spring!
