All Done . . . Again?
We hope so.
Jan and I headed up to the Clear Lake Regional Hospital in Webster about 10:15am.
She was supposed to be there by 11 for get checked in for her 1pm Laser Lithotripsy. And it all went very smoothly. I really like that the hospital has free valet parking for patients. Makes it so much easier to park and checked in.
Getting up to the 2nd floor Jan was taken right in to a Pre-Op room. Then a succession of nurses came through, each taking care of their specialty to get Jan prepped for her procedure.
They took Jan into the OR about 1pm and the procedure got started about 1:30pm. One thing nice is that I’m getting text messages from the hospital tracking everything that’s happening.
She was done by 2:30 and Dr. Hackney came out to see me about 10 minutes later to tell me everything went great, and the UV laser blew the stone to dust on the first shot.
They wanted to be sure that all the effects of the anesthesia had worn off so we didn’t leave leave the hospital until about 5pm. The two prescriptions they called in to WalMart weren’t ready yet so we just stopped at Jason’s Deli for soup and sandwiches for dinner and then headed home.
Jan has a checkup scheduled for two weeks from today, to see how it all went. But it looks good so far.
Although Jan had a little pain afterwards, a single pill took care of that, and it never reoccurred.
So far this evening she feels good, though tired and sleepy, the results of the anesthesia. But we’ll have to see how tomorrow goes.
The Headline of the Day: Pastor caught with a naked and bound man in a parked car claims it’s not what it looks like.

Another overcast, cold, damp day here in Santa Fe, TX. And too overcast, cold, and damp to go outside and take down the last awning.
A little after 4pm Jan and I headed out for dinner, this time at our local favorite, Pho20 Vietnamese.
Lately we’ve kind of standardized our order with the House Crunch Salad with their home-made Miso Dressing and Tempura Crunchies.
Then Jan got a couple of their Shrimp Spring Rolls
while I got one Shrimp Spring Roll and a small bowl of their very fragrant Won Ton Soup.
Although it’s not my favorite soup, Hot & Sour is, I’ve had Won Ton a number of times over the years, and this is the best I’ve ever had. The flavor of this broth is just amazing.
One thing that makes Pho20 so special is everything is made and cooked to order. Even things like Fried Egg Rolls are rolled and fried when you order them, as well as the lettuce for the salads is shredded right before it’s served.
All fresh, all delicious. If you’re in this area, check it out.
Before heading home we made a detour to the nearby Taco Cabana to pick up some tacos to go. One was for Jan’s late night snack.
Because of her procedure/anesthesia tomorrow afternoon, she can’t eat after midnight tonight. And then she won’t be able to eat again until late tomorrow afternoon. By that time her blood sugar will be very squirrelly. So a nurse suggested that she have a snack right before midnight.
Hence, the soft chicken fajita taco.
I also picked up some steak tacos for dinner tomorrow night if Jan doesn’t feel like going out. Although we may also pick something on the way home from the hospital. We’ll see.
Tomorrow morning we have to be at the hospital at 11am for Jan’s 1pm Laser Lithotripsy, luckily not as early as last Friday’s 8:30am Pre-Op appointment.
Tomorrow’s a busy day.
Thought for the Day:
You hear about separate beds or even separate bedrooms saving a marriage. That’s BS. Separate pizzas is the key to happiness. Trust me on this.
