Two Removals
Today Guido had his staple removed by Dr. English. She was quick and it seemed painless. Guido was funny though. Normally, he runs around the exam room sniffing happily, tongue out, and grinning from ear to ear. This morning, however, he sat at my feet and never budged.
Usually when Dr. English or anyone for that matter, would walk into the exam room, he would run up to that person waiting to be greeted. When Dr. English walked in today, he stayed at my feet. He never flinched. She noticed how sedate he was and said it was because he had been awake through this whole process (the removal of the skin tumor, getting stitches, and then getting a staple). I can understand his lack of enthusiasm today.
Hopefully now he will return to his old smiling, happy self.

Mom had her Denver Catheter removed. Apparently it came out easily. They are going to let the hole heal by itself, so she has no stitches. Instead, she has a bandage that will need changing in two days. She had another chest x-ray without the catheter. I think this is just their normal procedure after having it removed. She still has a bad cough and the occasional high temperature, but it seems this is the way it will be for now.
Oh, one more thing. Will someone please explain why I have awaked the past two mornings in a row with the song Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da running through my head? It’s getting strange.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Lyrics
By: The BeatlesDesmond has a barrow in the market place...
Molly is the singer in a band...
Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand...
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on brahhh...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on brahhh...
Lala how the life goes on.Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store...
Buys a twenty carat golden ring... (Golden ring)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door...
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing... (Sing)
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on brahhh...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on brahhh...
Lala how the life goes on.In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,
With a couple of kids running in the yard,
Of Desmond and Molly Jones... (Ha ha ha ha ha)Happy ever after in the market place...
Desmond lets the children lend a hand...
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face...
And in the evening she still sings it with the band...
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on brahhh...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on brahhh...
Lala how the life goes on.In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,
With a couple of kids running in the yard,
Of Desmond and Molly Jones... (Ha ha ha ha ha)Happy ever after in the market place...
Molly lets the children lend a hand...
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face...
And in the evening she's a singer with the band...
(Yeah), Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on brahhh...
Lala how the life goes on...
(Yeah), Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on brahhh...
Lala how the life goes on.And if you want some fun...take Ob-la-di-bla-da (Thank you)
Now, you’ll be singing it too!

I love that song. There was a show on TV called "Life Goes ON". It was about a little down syndrome boy named, Corky. That played that song at the beginning of every show! Kellie Martin started in it also.
Tell me why for months I would awaken in the night, many, many nights at 1:11 go back to sleep, wake up at 2:22. The next night wake up at 1:11, 2:22 and 3:33. It got almost scarry to me that I was waking up at the same time night after night. And it was always those kind of times. And I done it for months! I glad that stopped.

If you hold the dog up side down, can he stand on his flat face ?

Do you ever listen to the Dennis Prager show? He has "The Happiness Hour" every Friday, and today, he played some of that song. Funny you'd mention it!

I've never heard of him, GW, but that is ironic.
