6. That was exhausting

Oct 2024

6 hour drive to NYC, surgery done Tuesday, discharged today at 2 pm, flaked out in hotel now.

Won't get biopsy results for a month. Follow up, stitch removal in 2 weeks.

Half the elevators in hospital were out, so everything took longer. My wife was told not to drink or wash with the water in the hospital. As we were waiting for the last minute paperwork before discharge we were told the water had tested positive for Legionnaire's.

Modern medicine. You pays your money and you takes your chances.
