This isn't actually day seven. There have been intervening days when nothing of note happened, so I'm discounting them entirely. It's my blog; I can do that.
I'm very, very excited about the impending "procedure". I have a difficult time imagining how I'll feel and react if the results are what everyone (including the surgical staff) expects. How much stuff will I be able to do right away? What must I relearn? Will I reeeeaaly stop shaking??? I'm all a-twitter.
Today's drive was mostly a no-brainer. The climate is MUCH more temperate this trip - sunny and 45 degrees when we arrived in Rochester. Compare the photo below (a rest stop north of Ames) with the one from the "Day One" episode. Your assignment, should you decide to accept it, is to find the eight differences between these photos that I'm thinking of. No hints.
We learned some things last trip. Ergo, we have a nicer room at the Kahler, better parking, and NO SICKNESS! We've had the requisite steak at Michael's (highly recommended) and are in for the night.
The sign atop our hotel, in a glass darkly:
My first appointment is at 8:00 in the morning. None of this can happen soon enough.
Thanks for your continued interest. Please tell those who might share that interest that the blog is up and running again!
