Glad to hear the prep Nurse was pulling an April Fools prank, Don... and I hear the cataract surgery procedure is now a "piece of cake." Wishing you the best for a full recovery.
My good news: After an office visit for chest pains, I was sent to the Emergency Room, monitored significantly, EKG, Cat Scan, etc. but later that evening, released to return home with an appointment with a very good Cardiologist that following Monday.
Anguished through the weekend and continued to suffer from the spinal condition, but more worried about the "ticker." Re-arranged my will, wrote my Eulogy and prepared for the worst. Monday, the Cardiologist reads the EKG and says I'm fine.
A mixed blessing. Happy to know I am not going to have to wonder about when the next chest pain will happen but wondering if three different Docs are proficient at reading an EKG? I don't plan to seek a fourth opinion! LOL!
Keep us posted about how you are doing, old friend. I put several of your songs on a CD and sometimes let it "sing me to sleep" on a player by my bedside. What I'd give for a voice like that.
Later, ----Dave
