In which the excitement never ends

As reported by [livejournal.com profile] kinzel yesterday, we here at the Cat Farm and Confusion Factory are looking at some readjustments in the Regular Schedule (insofar as we can be said to have a regular schedule). The short form, for those who don't care to click the link, is that Steve will mid-next-week be attending hospital in Bangor for a day of tests and, on the next day, assuming the tests show clear, the implanting of a defibrillator.

You can see that this does kind of put a crimp in the Regular Schedule, which clearly read in part, "No Adventures" and also "Pellucid and Peaceful." Plainly, someone at the Scheduling Office is having their little joke.

There is a convalescence period after the installation; how long that will be depends on Certain Things that we cannot be privileged to know until the procedure has actually been done. Updates will happen on a Catch-as-Can basis. Good thoughts and patience, both, are much appreciated.


Continuing on the theme of excitement, a book arrived in the mail yesterday -- A Pictorial History of the Carousel. I very much thank the kind person who sent it; there was no note included, and the return address appears to be from a used bookstore in Conley, Georgia.


And! Lest I forget -- Exciting nearly beyond the telling of it was this morning's pilgrimage to Augusta, land of Bed, Bath, and Beyond, where we snabbled up a high-tech humidifier to replace our rather more low-tech unit that cocked up its toes last week.


...and I think that's enough excitement from me for an early Saturday afternoon.


What're you doing that exciting?

Scheduled a back xray, a CT/Mylogram for next week following a trip to the ER after calling 911. Scared both sons into calling me several times a day, but ruined a vacation I wss taking this weekend to watch #2 son run in the Disney half/marathon (which he did this morning at a respectable pace) His first ever after having weight reduction surgery.

Dr thinks something has broken loose in my back causing exruitating pain. Will probably be having back surgery next week - probably about the same time Steve will be undergoing his.

Still walking with a walker and have had to send the dogs to a home baby sitter who tells me they are very much enjoying her yard.

Pain level is (tolerable) as long as I don't try to do more than walk from the kitchen to my recliner.
