"Hospital Rest"

[xoxoxoBruce]

Gooder than new.
My doctor sent me to a cardiologist and before I even met her, friends of mine with connections at Penn, Jefferson, and Harvard medical schools, vetted her of their own volition. They reported back 5 star, top of the heap.

While I hadn't requested it, I have to admit is was reassuring when I met her. Very attractive, kind of a Stevie Nicks thing going on, with a Little Miss Sunshine positive attitude. Yeah yeah, I know, pretty women can have brains too. But damnit you know how first impressions and decades of cultural brain washing conspire against good judgment... you've done it... oh yes you have.

Anyway, it turns out she is a ringmaster worthy of Barnum & Bailey. She knows exactly what must be done, when, where, by whom, and makes it happen. Well we all know, shit happens. Doesn't faze her in the least, got it covered with plan B or C. No shit, she's that good.

Only one minor problem, and the fact I can bitch about it proves there was no big problem.
One of the primary tenets of my life is I don't ask people to do things for me I can damn well do myself. (OK, kinky sex doesn't count, gutter minds.)
Along with that if I do ask a favor, I make damn sure to make the execution as simple, smooth and quick as possible. I'm not the guy that asks you to help him move and has nothing packed when you arrive.

Anyway, to this end I went to the doctor's office the day before going in the hospital and asked for all the prescriptions I'd get leaving the hospital. That way the trip home is quick and easy. Yeah, I know there could be unforeseen shit, but most is known. Well I left the hospital with a handful of scripts, one(a narcotic) took two days to get filled.

Like I said, pretty minor bitch after major hospital shit.. amirite?

I'm glad you're home and feeling fine. Especially having met a stunning 24 yr. old nurse.

Thanks Lola. Yes, that Burmese nurse was stunning. As a matter of fact my buddy who came up to the floor to get me commented, "This hospital sure doesn't have a shortage of attractive nurses". Better yet, they're also competent.

And seemingly nice, happy folks. I was there for 3 days last November. Different cardiologist.

I would have been out sooner but when they did the post surgery X-ray after the first round, they spotted a nodule on the lung, which threw a monkey wrench into the works. There was talk of the heart dude doing the third wire, and the cancer dude doing a biopsy, at the same time.

They did a Cat-Scan right away, then a very long night till the head cancer dude decided it was either benign or so slow growing it became a secondary problem that could wait. Big relief on my part.
After I talked to him, he dug into my records and found an X-ray from two years ago that shows the nodule, so he had called it right.

I read this and first thought, "Oh shit, Bruce has head cancer?!"

Glad you're feeling better.
