Hellos Internets
Did you know that carotid endarterectomy is the procedure of choice for an asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis of greater than 60%?
... I do now, but I got confused by c) angioplasty with subsequent endarterectomy if it were to fail.
Such is my life.
Ghah - surgery.
It's like the 4th circle of hell with less burning and more over stuffness of brain.
Yesterday I consoled myself with Babylon 5 season three and edging into four. And a bottle of wine. Such good times. ("We .. we thought you were dead." "I was. I'm better now." AHAHAHAHHAHaha!!!)
Today I've got rather more to do, but a full Saturday with NO WORK HURRAH! to bind my time. Bridesmaid #4 hasn't gotten back to me yet, but L and I were going to watch some more Merlin tonight. I didn't even need to goad her, she loves the series all on her own! We're planning to do ep 4 Poisoned Chalice tonight. Mmmm. Yummy boys in my-turn-to-save-you-panic. Yummy.
Before that I've got to finish this chapter on peripheral vascular disease instead of just wishing I were done. Then I think I'll run for an hour, then hope in the tub and console myself with a little Dies the Fire. Good series. I tend to skip the Bearkillers and go right to Judy's team on this my, fifth?, re-read.
Then I've got to get my ass in gear and go grocery shopping. Last night I made pizza dough with no toppings, only olive oil and ate that for dinner plus the bottle of white wine I bought off of John. It was delicious, but not really dinner. I've got frozen store-bought lasangua for tonight if I want, but I'll see what Bearance's has. Then I've got to hit Staples and get Bridesmaid #2 her thingy-ma-bobber and snail mail it off to her before she reaches out from the East Coast and strangles me.
... then maybe I'll stop in at Chapters and study a chapter (urology is next, then orthopedics - bleh) and treat myself with some yummy Starbucks coffee.
Then back home, another chapter, and maybe more B5? Or Merlin. Or maybe Bridesmaid#4 will call by then.
And then its just one more week of waiting. Only one more week.
Freaking CaRMS. Ruining my brain.
("and the truth is - we don't need you any more. So get the HELL out of our galaxy!" AHAHAHAHAHa! Oh B5. So. Much. Fun.)
