Welcome to the show that never ends

I went to see my neurologist yesterday for a quarterly check and my battery needs to be changed at the end of June. The battery in the pulse generator inside my chest - which isn't too bad (so says the staff in Neurology, none of whom I am pretty sure have never experienced it yet themselves) but still will require a visit to Redwood City for an out-patient 'procedure' (no laughing, Ralph). Also means a scalpel of some size cutting into my chestal area to pull out the device and replacing the battery and then staples to close the wound... er, uh - incision.

So I've got that to look forward to.

Tomorrow will be the end of two weeks out on MLOA for me and so far I have found enough to do to not be completely bored. I have read a few books, watched a few movies I had never seen before, and managed to create a couple of videos. Even made it outside to the library a couple of times. That's outside of the house ...

Caught the new Brian Wilson show on Comcast called 'Life of Brian' about the daily life of the Giants' closer and almost 10 minutes of the half-hour episode was devoted to watching him play Rock Band on his Xbox. Sounds pretty much like my life ...

Out patient, huh? Better take along your pajamas and toothbrush; oh! and maybe a copy of Gone With The Wind.
