I’ve spent most of this week watching my blood pressure
tick higher as this day approached. I knew as of this Monday past that this would be the day I’d be
undergoing a cardiac catherization-I had one a bit more than six years
ago but I guess the stamp on my hand has washed off so I have to hit the ride
again.
Obviously this is being written before any of that
happens/happened (I hate writing in the present for a past tense event that’s
still in the future perfect when I’m at the keyboard) and tomorrow’s entry,
about which at this moment I have no idea, will also be synthesized in the here and now before
setting off on the flume ride that starts in the semi-darkness of this morning at same-day surgery.
I have absolutely no work at all today-everyone else will
and with some luck I’ll be almost eerily tranquil throughout. I intend to
make doubly sure I’ll be wearing that wrist bracelet they give you in the
hospital because otherwise my wife may not recognize me afterwards, assuming there is an afterwards.
My intention is to be back to writing this closer to
real-time and in real-life by Sunday though if I’m not there’s an excellent
chance that of the two of us only you’d notice (and that barely, if at all);
for my part, I’ll be beyond caring.
I work very hard to be funny especially when I’m scared so at some
point in the course of really soon, I’ll be going through a lot of what I sincerely believe is
“A” material in rapid-fire order-so if you hear any of it, just laugh and hope
it gets funny later on. I know I will.
