Well - I for one am hugely disappointed Andy and Anderson have been told they can't have any alcohol tonight.
Humbug.

@leejackson At least they are doing the chemical version! It’s just a couple of minutes of discomfort and then more readings. The hardest part is the waiting.
Had a follow-up with the cardiologist about the echocardiogram. Turns out it didn't rule out heart failure - what he now suspects is something called "Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction," or HFpEF for short (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3056204/). It's a tricky little deal where the heart builds up fluid, but also gets stiffer.
More tests are on order, including a nuclear chemical stress test. Until then, it's baby aspirin and watch the salt.
Pre-lunch snack: poppy seed kolache from Slovacek's in West, TX. People seem to be afraid to try the poppy seed kolaches. Don't know why - they're most nom-worthy.
Had my evaluation for the lymphedema pump - they're going to get me one and have someone come out to use it on me, starting in January. They'll also be putting something on me called "unna boots" to reduce the swelling.
Getting evaluated for Home Health services today, specifically those related to a lymphedema pump for my legs. We're going to get medieval on my leg swelling, most likely. I'm not 100% sure what it'll entail - will report back.

Grumpy sports reporter's candor makes for hilarious snow coverage
Thanks. There is one big plus to having the surgery at that center: we get to have Schlotzky's afterward. Good stuff. Medium original with mayo + mustard. Nom. 😜
Had surgery today. Bilateral lumbar rhizotomy to kill lower back pain, done by my pain management doctor. Went well, except for the pre-and-post-op stuff (i.e., trying to get undressed and re-dressed). Couldn't have my wife in the room with me, and the nurses were reluctant to help me (and I'm too handicapped to do it myself). Finally got it done, though. Any surveys will reflect their helpfulness, or lack of same quality.

A judge might have no choice but to put Trump in prison – according to this conservative legal scholar
Former Federal Judge J. Michael Luttig said this week that former President Donald Trump would likely end up behind bars if he were convicted of inciting an insurrection and other charges.
I thought NORAD was banished from Twitter for doxxing Santa's sleigh. 😜

We've been converted from Czech Stop to Slovacek's - they make better kolaches. Still, NOBODY beats Weikel's Bakery in LaGrange. 😋 Best Kolaches In Texas!
