It’s Saturday. Beth and I spent the afternoon at Fontainebleau State Park walking around a big loop Nature Trail they have there. We’d visited this park a few days ago, and I walked out the pier onto Lake Pontchartrain, and relaxed some on the park bench. This time, I was ready for a much longer… Continue reading a day at the park

spinal tap
Todd’s big event for Friday January 16: spinal tap. And I mean that with lowercase “s” and “t”. Though I’m a huge fan of the band and the film, this was my first opportunity to get my very own spinal tap. Well, in all fairness, I did have one before (last Thursday in fact), but… Continue reading spinal tap

results of my one week ear checkup
Hi, everyone. Today’s big milestone with respect to my SCDS surgery recovery was my one week checkup with the surgeon. Hurray, I survived the first week! 🙂 Dr. Gianoli said immediately that he thought I was looking good, as if perhaps some of his patients make their one week checkup appointments on hands and knees… Continue reading results of my one week ear checkup
Todd’s pill list
I realize I owe my loyal readers an update on my surgery recovery – or at least something about what I’ve done the past couple days. But for now I thought I’d just list all the medicines I’m on, because it’s a long list. One of my fellow SCDS patients, referring to how things were… Continue reading Todd’s pill list
Wednesday’s adventures
Yesterday I wrote that I was hoping to get outdoors to a park or something today. And sure enough, that’s what happened. After getting ready for an afternoon of adventuring, we headed toward the north shore (of the Pontchartrain, of course). Our first stop was a bar and grill where we might have had lunch. … Continue reading Wednesday’s adventures
a couple more days down the road to recovery
Well, it’s Tuesday already! I can’t believe my surgery was way back last Thursday. And the past two days have been pretty much a blur of napping, reading, and eating. Yesterday we just hung out at the hotel all day. Even the evening, they have a “reception” of a light meal in the dining area. … Continue reading a couple more days down the road to recovery
surgery and the first few days of recovery
Beth has done a phenomenal job of keeping the blogosphere updated on the outcome of my surgery. Earlier today, after a nice bath and some clean clothes, I caught up on everything she’s written and I just don’t see how I couldn’t said it any better. But she said I must try. So here goes.… Continue reading surgery and the first few days of recovery
I’m ready to be cut open
Yesterday was a very busy day, and today was, too. Yesterday, in the morning we drove to Hammond and then to Covington. Hammond is where the hospital is located where I’m having my surgery. Covington is where the Homewood Suites is that will be our next home-away-from-home. I wanted to make sure Beth knew how… Continue reading I’m ready to be cut open
shrimp and more shrimp in Baton Rouge
We made it to New Orleans on time today. Beth rented a car and drove us to Baton Rouge, where we checked into our hotel, the Comfort Suites. I can’t remember staying in a hotel with worse internet connectivity (not counting hotels that say they don’t even offer internet service). But once we brought our… Continue reading shrimp and more shrimp in Baton Rouge
