As you can see from these photos, Tom has had a rough time of it today. The picture on the top is Tom without his epidural and prior to IV morphine drip. Doesn't he look agonized?? The photo on the bottom was taken about 5 minutes after his first serious morphine infusion. AAAHhhhhhhh. Much much better. Actually, the picture on the top is something of a lie. He didn't have any pain meds there, but the look on his face was induced by watching old DVDs of the Honeymooners, and this was during the episode called Sleepwalkers in which Norton sleepwalks and Ralph has to try to follow him, slipping on banana peels and hiding the apartment key. But the second photo really is of him on drugs. No fried egg reference necessary.

Tom,, Tom,, Tom......If I told you once I told you a thousand times "YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN". THE TIDE IS EITHER COMING OUT OR IT'S GOING IN. Ok, enough of the catheter jokes. Sorry to hear of the kink in your line (there's a joke here somewhere) but stuff happens. Madam Blogmeister missed a good photo caption: SEE TOM MORPH.
And another thing, how bright is it to have DVD's of funny, side-splitting sitcoms when the last thing you want to do is to split an already split split?!!
Need I add a comment about hospitals, nurses, etc. After 30 years in a building full of nurses, and the officious click of Nurse Ratchet's heels still fresh in my memory, I should have given you more warning. That's all I've got to say about that, but make sure they wash their hands.
If you insist on taking notes on future programs, events, and sundry cathangings, I have a few suggestions listed below for you to peruse when the fog lifts:
1. I need your input on what Tech courses to offer this summer
2. We need to go to dinner
3. Taking a cue from your spouse, please sign the attached documents for that summer house in Marcus Hook you promised to purchase from me
4. Did I mention dinner?
5. Take a shower and shave. It discourages flies.
6. Unkink all incoming and outgoing lines before falling asleep
7. Ask each Dr., Nurse, Anesthesiologist, Candy Striper (Stripper) if they can read music. It's a good indicator that they are not improvising.
8. See if you can squeeze some time to have a quiet foursome dinner sometime. (have I mentioned that before...oops)
Meanwhile, take care, remember St. Monica is the patroness of patience, and the good wisdom of Hercule Poirot who is credit with saying, "Time and the little grey cells: these always catch the criminal and they work well with hospital recovery, too"
We miss your face.
