I am on day three of taking antibiotics before surgery on Wednesday.  My last bit of control is deciding to follow the recommendations for the medication.  A total of 6 pills, to be taken every 12 hours. 8am and 8pm for me.  The hardest part is drinking the glass of water with the pill.  I don’t read the report on possible side effects. Too much scary information.

This morning I go to CHOMP for my covid test required before surgery.  I have passed my interview for becoming a hospital surgical patient. I am an expert now in these interviews. No more jokes or weird comments, just the facts and say thank you many times. After the test, assuming it is negative, I am to isolate myself to avoid catching the virus.

Watched two more episodes of THREE PINES with a friend.  I started a fire in the fireplace but it failed. At half time we ate fudge and caramel sundaes.

Just 50 more pages in the gigantic book, THE INK BLACK HEART. A worthwhile book. Already I am checking out books to read next. Puddles everywhere.  Only two leaks in the skylight this time.
