Wednesday was great until late in the afternoon. Then it all turned very dark very quickly.
In an extremely uncreative reprise of the original movie, the ENT (ears nose throat) people made increasingly concerned and invasive and painful visits to my room until they were wheeling me down for emergency surgery at 10 at night. It was sinus surgery this time instead of oral surgery, but otherwise completely derivative.
I've been recovering since, which involves listening to the radio and dozing off in 20- and 30-minute intervals. My sinuses are packed with gauze, and they are still bleeding, which makes it nearly impossible to sleep. Today we have figured out a way to breathe more humid air that has made it slightly easier to sleep.
Had a bone marrow biopsy Friday. Results Monday or Tuesday.
Jan's visiting this weekend. My dad is coming later this week.
More later when I perk up.
Hi Joe,

Who knew that "stick it where the sun don't shine" had multiple possible destinations? Best wishes on the biopsy results and your version of sinus congestion.
