Bangers and Mash?

S0 here I am some 4 days after surgery, and am finally able to get out of the house for more than a 15 minute slow walk without great discomfort. The bruising has been dissipating in some areas while developing in others. Kind of a chameleon effect. My (specific body region) has never been that color before. Fortunately, the level of pain is less than the shade indicates. Not that there is no pain, there is as anyone who has had this surgery will attest. In response for those of you who whish to thank me for sharing: "You're most welcome." In respect for everything sacred, or at least sacred by my standards, I am not posting a pic, nor am I mentioning the specific part.

Ode to Hasbro

This morning while waiting to "go under the knife" we were watching news on the TV in the waiting room. It was ironic that one of the headlines was about mess-ups in the operating room: wrong patient operated on, wrong part removed, wrong medications given during surgery, etc. I was reminded of the movie "Airplane" when the in flight entertainment was a documentary on airplane crashes. Anyway, things went fine during my hour long nap, and I am making friends with Percocet.

A Very Large Moth

I saw this on an outside wall by the main entrance of the Physics building on the NAU campus. While I was taking this picture, a student copied me an also took a pic. This moth is HUGE!
