T -1:48 and counting until last scheduled dose of steroids. I actually took a real, honest-to-goodness nap this afternoon and it was good. I might have slept an hour, but these days it felt like a full-on hibernation.
My brother sent me all his pics from the hospital stay. Here they come:
Lovely day - Another nice shot of my Dad and brother before heading in for the big event.
Smiling faces - Connie is on the left. She was the surgeon's right-hand person when it came to my patient care throughout. We're all in "head for the OR" mode.
Ready, Set, GO! - Let's do this thing.
You sleep where you can - My papa had a long night of travel. You can see outside it's a lovely day. Within hours, the Floods of 2007 had begun. Hard to believe.
What just happened?? - This was in ICU right about the time I threw my brother a curve ball by telling him my favorite team was the Red Sox. I'm not sure he's over it yet. Even an hour after undergoing brain surgery, I may still eff with ya, bro. Sorry about that.
Interesting surgery side note: That little bulb you see to the right side of my head (your right, my left) is like a valve for releasing excess blood and brain fluid from my surgery. It had to stay below 10cc during an 8-hour period before they could take it out. I remember very much wanting to get that out of there. It was a magical moment when they took it out. It's the little things.
Dressing change - The angelic Connie once again.
CSI - This looks like a shot from a crime drama. Like an autopsy. Like I'm dead. It amuses me.
Head Wound Harry
So there you have it. Thanks, KC, for coming through with more quality photography.
Go Dodgers!!
