    The NIH sent me an informative piece of mail about perimenopausal depression and addressed it to "Future Research Participant"...

    I had a birthday last week, and I am definitely not perimenopausal, but points for a sense of humor.

    The endoscopic laser surgery to remove scar tissue from my trachea that I was supposed to have back in March is happening this coming Monday. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he did that awful thing where they snake a tube into your nose and down your throat to take a movie. (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.

    I got a real hair cut for the first time since the spring two weeks ago and the barber said he saw worse.

    I don't think any chick hair cut places are open around here, but I know people who have their hair stylist come to their house.
    I've been cutting my own hair for years. My wife helps me clean up the back of my neck. Beard trimmer works in a pinch, but nothing beats a nice set of clippers.

    I had that before. Didn't notice any pain or sensation at all when I woke up.

    I had it done once in January but some of the scar tissue grew back, which is why I need to have it done again. There wasn't much pain at all afterwards, but I couldn't talk for about a week. I recall trying after a few days and just a croak came out. This time I'm taking an ironclad vow of silence for a solid week with no exceptions.

    Right - that or I could just substitute a bleach-Mr. Clean $#@!tail for my morning orange juice.

    The hospital is actually requiring that I get a Covid-19 test this Friday.

    Right now I’m drinking a nice bourbon that was finished in a port wine cask courtesy of Woodinville Whiskey Company. Delightful stuff.
