Easter II

Fasted after midnight and into mid-morning in anticipation of an MRI. I’ve got more than my share of the claustrophobia gene, so I had to be generously medicated, for which I was grateful.
Wonderful visit from Fr Milton Williams, rector of the nearby Church of the Ascension, who fed me with word and sacrament.
Visited with the spouse and offspring, who are being very supportive.
Processed a handful of emails. More waiting before I go under the knife of Thursday.
Commended Brenda to the mercies of Amtrak, where she should right at this moment be de-training in Springfield–home for a couple of nights to help get things organized for our post-operative life.
Took a couple fo slow walks around the unit, just to make sure I don’t forget how to walk.
In the early evening, I was taken to an imaging lab for a 360-degree X-ray of my teeth. Believe it or not, dental health issues can adversely affect heart surgery outcomes.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for a couple of days of parole, beginning tomorrow. I promise I will be as quiet as mouse. But I desperately need a haircut!
