Alexa went off as planned at 6:00 am! My eyes opened, and I could not figure out why Alexa was going crazy. Then, it dawned on me. I have an 8:00 am surgery in Long Beach! Yep, more cancer to be removed but on the bright side, I will be 1.1 oz lighter afterwards!When I backed out of the garage, I realized the weatherman was correct. It was going to be a wet day. It was not raining hard, but just enough to slow the freeways and make the drivers crazy.
It was almost 8:45 am, and I had no coffee yet, which meant I needed my fix. The Silver Fox knew what to do…he drove down Lakewood Blvd and whipped into a McDonalds. My order was easy, a Breakfast Mac and a hot coffee. The Mac disappeared in three bites, and the coffee went to the doctor’s office with me (it was too hot to drink at McDonalds.
When I entered the operating room, it was like an old home week; everybody knew exactly what to do! The doctor sliced and diced and sent his results to the lab. About 45 minutes later, he returned with the news—he had gotten it all!
He should have used a zipper. I no longer need a mask at Halloween! I just go to the surgeon a week ahead of time!
After sewing it up, I got my bandage; I wanted a Sponge Bob Square Pants bandage.
Note to self: Bring a supply to the doctor next time you come!
I settled for a regular bandage and some gauze. The Doc said it might swell up a bit, so I reminded him that was OK because I can tell everybody that Mary hit me! Dr. Glassberg is A#1; he is funny, always on time, and does a good job at attempting to make me beautiful. OK, A#2 on making me pretty, that is an impossible task!
All patched up and ready to go!
When I returned home, Mary was preparing to go to the Elks. At 11:15, we were off and running again, this time to the Elks for Girls Night Out!
We checked on his nibs, Scout the Wonder Dog, when we departed. He was resting after a hard morning keeping the elephants out of the garden! He was sawing logs; I think they were redwoods because he didn’t even wake up!
The baby sleeps all day these days!
We held the Starlighter’s Board meeting at the Elks since all the board members are Elks! We are now organized for the next several months! George joined us today and we are so happy to see that he is up and around on week after his aortic valve repair operation. They have him a no money back guarantee for another ten years or 100,000 dance steps, whatever comes first!
Great fun at the Elks plus we held the Starlighters Board Meeting!
The scar should not show where Mary hit me with the broom after the swelling went down. Mary will remove the stitches on the 13th, right before dinner!
Just us!
When we returned home, Mary worked in her closet, and I continued attempting to figure out what was happening with the door lock! We called a door specialist, and if I cannot figure it out by then, he will come on Friday!
Slightly out of whack!
We hit the hay around 10:00 pm after Mary binge-watched “The Vikings” all day. I could not watch it for very long as it was gory and people were constantly using their swords to kill other people. The events take place in English around 850 A.D. Since Mary has been watching this for so long, I a) hide the knives before I go to bed and b) put on my latest chain mail jammies, which cover me from head to toe!!
Good night, all!
