All went well....

Everything was as expected... Her surgery went great.. "textbook" as Dr. Elias stated. Was just under an hour and in recovery. She looked great.
I got off the phone a few minutes ago with Neil, She feels good, had a little something to eat and they are now playing cards....
She should be back here tomorrow morning.

Prayers and good thoughts for "The Grande Dame"

Just to keep everyone up to date.. "The Grande Dame" Is going in for her Gallbladder surgery tomorrow, Friday morning at 11am... I have her OR suite all set... Hand picked her staff, She has the best of the best... And is in very good hands...
She is looking forward to moving on, getting her life back in order and getting to Florida where she is warm...! Not liking our weather here in Nov... Not sure why.... It's "quite warm" here IN the house.. Neil is at the controls of the woodstove... He's sweating his @$$ off and she has a fleece zipped up to her chin. As far as me... well my hot flashes have returned...
Anyhoo... She will be getting to the hospital by "ground chopper" with Captain Neil.., The weather is suggesting snow maybe.. But still, no need for an air helicopter!
Will update tomorrow night.

Winters Coming

Just thought you might like to know, winter in Maine is on the way. This was a hike Trish and I took Sunday, November 9th. East Baldpate and West Baldpate in Maine. Temperature 34 degrees, wind speed 5o mph, wind chill ??? I guess around 10-15 degrees. It was an OK hike though, with nicer snow on the pines in the woods. I was only real cold on top where there was no cover.

Big difference however down at the lean to half way down the mountain as you can see in the photo. 42 degrees there but the sun came out and was quite pleasant. Had a nice lunch at the lean-to before finishing the trip down.

Take care all,
Pete
