Waiting...

...to learn where I fit in this morning's surgical list. It's just after midnight and sleep is elusive. Thought I'd post this as a place holder in case I'm unable to take any more shots (today). It will be a four-hour op with no knives involved except for the initial access cut into the femoral artery, after which it's a sort of high-tech video game guiding a tiny wire through the labyrinth of blood vessels from thigh to brain, a very skilled and delicate procedure, though it's in my favour that this time the aneurysm hasn't yet burst, so it is an elective procedure to prevent that happening. Opting for this was a very hard decision to make, and I hope the right one. See you on the other side, folks.
