A tale of 3 cholesterol tests

Maybe this should be titled “Exercise – it’s good for you.” Though that sounds obvious, it’s nice to have data to back up that assertion. I’ve had high cholesterol probably all of my life. Every test I’ve ever had has been high. I recall getting a couple when I was … Continue reading →

This past weekend was New Hampshire Maple Weekend. The fam and I got a chance to get in on a little bit of it. I had grand plans for more but they were partially interrupted by a volcano. Nevertheless, I prevailed and we squeezed in a couple visits. The sap … Continue reading →

The best square root day

Day 3: starting to notice improvement in pain level with a given quantity of medication. This seems to be a good and expected development. I thought it would be fun, interesting, or at least blog-like to jot down some thoughts about this surgery. In no particular order, here we go: … Continue reading →

Surgery

Just got back home a bit ago from surgery. It went well. The hospital was supposed to call on Friday with the arrival time. They called but didn’t leave messages. The last instructions I got were to expect an arrival time around 11:00 a.m. and that I couldn’t have anything … Continue reading →

Minor malfunction

Ironically, Michael Buble’s Home was playing as I start this entry, not at the end of a trip (when I really need to go home), but at the beginning of it. The last week or so has been so busy I haven’t hardly had time to breathe. While it has … Continue reading →

I’m still behind on the work I hoped to get done while I was on this layover, but I am making some progress. I just finished a set of notes that was far more time consuming than I had hoped. I figured I’d wait to relay the whole story of … Continue reading →
