A-OK

 Yesterday and the procedure with the bile duct went smoothly. I would say the most challenging part of the day was getting to the hospital during morning rush hour. The system at the DHR Health system at Edinburg TX seems to run smoothly. Butch was able to be with me the entire time with the exception of the surgery itself. He was able to stay in the room that I would be returning to. I had warned him the area was COLD so he dressed appropriately. And the nurses brought both of us warmed blankets. That was nice!!

I had multiple stones removed from the bile duct. Often times this surgery can be done without an incision but apparently, I needed to have a cut made. This was internal as I do not have any on the outside. Of course, I was drowsy most of the day yesterday and a bit off-center this morning. I am sure it will get better as the day goes on. So now I must get on with the day...helping with the planning of the pool hall banquet. I knew there was a reason I didn't want the job!
