I’m back!

I had an angiogram about two weeks ago to map out the blockages in my heart.  A week later I had open-heart surgery for a bypass and valve replacement.  I stayed in the hospital for about a week and came home earlier this week.

I met lots of interesting and helpful staff.  They stuck by me even when I had some paranoid delusions.

I can’t drive for a month after the surgery and then have limited activities for another month.

My wife has been a great help despite some of my bursts of impatience.

One of those impatiences seems to be that the print on the screen seems to be smaller.

I hope to soon write a blog post "Modern medicine and Let them eat cake politicians”.

Friendly government service

After I wrote "Customer Service Department?" I thought about the courteous service we received after our car was dinged, both from the medical center security and the Duluth Police.  I thought I had mentioned it this in my blog "Premonitions and coincidences", but I hadn't.

I did send a thank you to the Duluth Police Dept. naming the officer who wrote the report.  A few days later I received a personal thank you from the police chief, Gordon Ramsay.

I did not send a thank you to the medical center.  I did that before I finished writing this.
