- Tue, 14:31: Doing my last-minute preparation for going into the hospital today.
- Tue, 16:26: Checking in for surgery. Pun intended. (@ Meyer Center at CoxHealth) http://4sq.com/jRBLQ2
- Tue, 16:40: Changed into my oh-so-fetching hospital gown.
- Tue, 16:40: RT @thDigitalReader: @robotech_master If you don't make it through the surgery, can i have your gadgets?
- Tue, 16:44: They are going to start the iv now
- Tue, 16:50: My fav places on @goscoville ★ @parkcentrallibr, St. George Donuts Shop... ★ #toptuesday http://bit.ly/kGTBi1
- Tue, 17:07: They had a really hard time finding a vein in my right arm. It was almost a vein effort.
- Tue, 17:13: Now comes the waiting. Always the most annoying part. At least Uncle Denis is here with me.
- Tue, 17:29: Pastor David Martin is here to pray with me. Nice to see another friendly face.
- Tue, 17:31: Looks like it's gonna be another two hours before they anaesthetize me.
- Tue, 18:00: Still waiting. At least I have my iPad.
- Tue, 18:41: Anesthesiologist just stopped in to say they'd be ready for me in a bit. Yay.
- Tue, 19:42: Still no sign of anesthesia yet. Still starving. Wish they'd hurry up. Annoyingly, I don't know what kind of appetite the drugs will leave.
- Tue, 20:01: RT @mguinc: The second wave of Joplin charity auctions is up! http://fb.me/HXTxKhkE
- Tue, 20:22: Three hours in a drafty hospital gown. Brrrrr! Just had someone else pop in to tell me I'm up next...but not WHEN.
- Tue, 20:36: Doctor just came by to answer some questions. Getting closer.
- Tue, 20:44: Looks like this is it. See folks on the other side.
- Tue, 23:32: As GLaDOS would say, "Still alive."
- Wed, 00:07: Hurts a lot. Of course, I knew it would.
- Wed, 01:52: Status Report http://j.mp/lXgxNX
- Wed, 02:23: How awesome: they brought me most of the meds I was already taking – even the vitamins and melatonin. And, most importantly, Metamucil.
- Wed, 02:24: (I never Metamucil I didn't like.)
- Wed, 04:43: Basking in the rosy glow of the painkillers. Trying not to think about what they're doing to my bowels.
- Wed, 05:18: Storm moving in. Impressive lightning out my window. Think I have a southeastern exposure.
- Wed, 05:25: Or it could be northwest I guess. Will ask next time I see a nurse.
- Wed, 06:03: It's weird
- Wed, 06:04: It's weird, needing to pee more than you actually drink.
- Wed, 09:44: Still here overnight. (@ Meyer Center at CoxHealth) http://4sq.com/ivRrPJ
- Wed, 11:28: The orthopedist just came by. He says I'm good to go this morning. He wants to see me for a follow-up visit on Friday.
- Wed, 11:29: And as an aside, I am deeply amused that the first time I said it, Dragon dictation rendered "the orthopedist" as "here is the penis".
- Wed, 11:43: @marktime Can't seem to make a long distance call with the hospitalIPhone. I will call you later when I can get my hands on my cell phone.
