    Good luck with your procedure. I hate hospitals and never had anything surgical done until I had my hip replaced a couple years ago. Looking back, I’m glad I did it since the hip pain is gone, but I was a stressed out wreck before the operation. Didn’t let the wife know so she wouldn’t worry more than she already was.

    Currently going through shelves and boxes of books, in the family room, bedrooms, garage, basement - tens of thousands of books, the accumulation of the last fifty years - attempting to seriously reduce their number and the space they take up. Would love to have a big sale in the front yard - just a dollar or two for hardcovers and maybe a quarter for paperbacks - but the Zombie Apocalypse prevents it. I'd donate them to the Arizona Humane Society thrift shops, but they stopped taking and selling books a couple of years ago. Some of the more interesting and collectible books I'll probably end up listing on eBay if I decide to get back into selling on that platform. I'm finding some amazing things - books I haven't seen in twenty years and had forgotten I owned.

(If I was an aspiring actor in Hollywood, I guess I'd be trying to get that listed on IMDB as a film credit.) This time he sprayed lidocaine down my throat, which I hadn't had done before, I guess to numb it or something, and it's had me coughing more than usual ever since. It's 3 in the morning and I just woke up feeling like my throat was more constricted than it usually is - a feeling not conducive to sleep. I'm having a cup of hot mocha with some Evan Williams bourbon, which I think might just do the trick.

    My surgeon mentioned that if this doesn't do the trick and get my oxygen intake back to normal the only other measure available would be to actually take a piece out of the trachea, like removing a bad section of pipe, and sewing the ends together. As I told the wife last night, that isn't going to happen. I'm 66 years old and if I have to spend the rest of my life getting winded easily and having to clear my throat a lot, so be it.

    Good luck with everything

    You could put the paperbacks in a box by the curb, marked FREE. Perhaps your neighbors will take some of them away.

    Thanks, Doc. I'll try to post something tomorrow night to let you know I'm still among the living. Assuming I am, of course.
