Had enough excitement for one week?

Glad all is well.

And don't forget them CO detectors!!!

Oh, man....your post had me shaking for a moment. Thought it said "CD detectors" and was something my wife could use to figure out why the shelves seem to be fuller than they were...

Yikes -- I've just had a BUSY week, so I didn't see these posts until today.

Glad everything worked out okay, Al,

and Joe, hope your wife is feeling better.

Thanks guys (and gal) for the get-well wishes. Today was a hell of a day. Michelle was scheduled to have a (relatively) minor surgical procedure done at 8 am, so I got to the hospital around 7:30. There was a delay with the surgeons, so they didn't take us down to pre-op until around 9:30. Then we sat there until almost noon. They then did the procedure, which took almost two hours, much longer than in the past (they removed the Hickman line from her chest, and placed a triple lumin line in her neck). The doctor came out and told me that the surgery went fine, but her heart looked larger than normal in a scan, and they were going to take her right back into surgery to insert a chest tube and drain the fluid around her heart. More waiting. I didn't get to see her again until they put her in ICU, which was about 6 pm. They asked me to leave an hour later for the shift change. She was a mess, and in a lot of pain, but they seem to think she'll be alright.

Makes for one long-ass day. Hope y'all don't mind if I have a beer...

Holy sh... have two beers. Heck, after reading that, I'm gonna have a beer so I can have something to cry in. FWIW, you and your wife are DEFINITELY in my prayers tonight.

Second that emotion.
