DtM, since your Mom is feeling better, I can say that Stoney Gall Bladder is one of my favorite Laura Nyro tunes.

Thanks, all, for the vibes for my mom. 

It's been an experience!  After an initial diagnose of a stoney gall bladder, my mom had to go thru a number of tests and imagery sessions on her 2nd day that were tiring her out.  But then they put her thru a procedure that was to clear her bile duct of some stones that, because of the twilight anastesia and the huge amout of bile suddenly flowing thru her system, left her in a state of dementia.  Very frightening, though the doctors and the staff repeatedly told us thus is a normal reaction in elderly patients.  To make matters worse, over Wednesday night Mom developed anterial fibulation (which she has no history of.) Her surgeon told us that because of that, they would not put her at risk of gall bladder surgery.  The cardiologist matter-of-factly initially said they could "slip" a pacemaker into her to correct her heartbeat, but later "lessened" that to just giving her heart an electric shock.  We were also told that she would need a tube inserted into the gall bladder to drain it to prevent an infection.

But then things started to turn for the better.  Moms heartrate corrected itself through the drugs they gave her, do she didn't need the shock procedure.  Then the tube insertion went smoothly and mom came out of it feeling fine.  She had a fitfull night last night, but I suspect that was because they left a rather bright light on over her bed all night.  Since I came in this morning and turned on the indirect light, mom has been sleeping light a baby.

And good news from the surgeons--if moms heart rate continues to stay normal over the weekend, they will go ahead with the gall bladder surgery on Monday. 

Again, thank you all lovely people for the vibes!  They do work!

Sending vibes in return for all that need them!

CONTINUED VIBES FOR YOUR MOM

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up... And the 30 minutes of errands I had to run this morning ended up taking about 2 hours. -Boy, do I miss having a subway station just a one-minute walk from my front door.

From yesterday DR Jose said

Follies has an interesting opening week schedule. Their first performance is on Sunday, August 7, at 3:00. And then they're dark on Monday, and resume Tuesday night.

*They're also having a strangely(?) long preview period  - 5 weeks - for a show that's supposedly just being remounted from the Kennedy Center presentation.


I believe the ghosts are now going to be flown around the stage.

Oh... So I guess that's where all the old rigging from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark went.

I need to do some laundry and take care of some cleaning here for the next hour or so - or it will never get done.

Stay Cool!

Yes, Wendy and Dorothy were both in "The Littlest Hobo", although neither played the title character.

Just found out some very sad news. Chrisopher Mayer (aka Chip Mayer), who played Vance Duke on DUKES OF HAZZARD for one season, died July 23. No cause of death has been listed, but it was unexpected. He was 57.

I was a big fan of his. He was on a lot of TV shows back in the 80s, as I recall.

And good news from the surgeons--if moms heart rate continues to stay normal over the weekend, they will go ahead with the gall bladder surgery on Monday. 

Again, thank you all lovely people for the vibes!  They do work!

Very good news, Dan!!

More work today: because my copyist supervisor was more concerned with getting to London, I have a timpani/bells/chimes problem I have to resolve today. I doubt he ever even listened to my wishes about this two months ago. I had asked for the part to be included in the percussion book so that all the percussion parts were available to all players. It didn't happen, so I've got a percussion part for triangle, Bass Drum, Cymbals, Snare Drum, Tambourine that can be divided among three players, but the tuned percussion is all on a spearate part with the timpani. So, we have to rprint a second timpani part today for any part that has bells or chimes.

Keep them vibes coming! I'm out of here!

We are going to New Jersey tomorrow to visit cousins of Anthony's.

What a coinkydink!  My cousin from Oregon and his wife are coming to Olympia tomorrow to visit us!  They'll be here until Tuesday morning.

On Monday, we're going to Seattle for the day.  We plan to go to the Space Needle (maybe have lunch there...I've never dined at the Space Needle restaurant!), the EMP (Experience Music Project) and the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (part of the EMP).  It's definitely going to be a day! ;D

And he aged well. Here is a more recent photo of him.
