Medical happenings.

I had a pulmonary function test today. Will have a PET scan tomorrow. Probably nothing but my pulmonologist wants to be sure.

Mrs. V gets her new hip on Monday. Not going into Manhattan for this hip. Local facilities are good and her surgeon was just ranked one of the top 2 orthopedic surgeons in NY State.

Greetings this coldest night of the summer so far from Glow in the Dark Volkonski who is full of radioactive stuff from his PET scan today. ;)

Should have results in a week.

The farm stands here are piled high with all sorts of pumpkins and apples.

Sweet cider and hard cider are flowing by the gallon.

This last weekend of summer is in fact the first weekend of autumn.

County government computers have not recovered from the hacking.

County offices are working with third party payment services to send paper checks out to pay County employees and suppliers.

Our younger daughter arrives today from Texas to help take care of Mrs. V after her hip surgery. :biggrin:

The weather turned warm today so Mrs.V and our daughter have headed down to the beach possibly for the last time this year.

Glad to hear it. My partner had hers done in December, and she rebounded quickly. These days, it's so routine that it's hard to imagine how challenging it was 30 years ago when my mother-in-law had it done. 10 hours of touch-and-go surgery, weeks in the hospital, months of rehab. Now it's an hour on the table, home in a day or so, and a high likelihood of good outcomes.

I hope Mrs. V. is back to rockin' out with the flute and all the other stuff she loves to do soon.

This may be the last day of summer weather for quite a while. Right on schedule. ;)

Cool front comes thru tonight bringing rain.

Mrs. V starts physical therapy this afternoon. Should come home tomorrow.

Daughter is voice captioning a couple of Mountain time zone soccer games this afternoon after which we head to the hospital.

She had a PT session this morning and will have another this afternoon.

European American trash just arrived. Getting back to an earlier post summer schedule. :thumbsup:

The local Oldies station just played "Theme from a Summer Place". With just one full day of summer left they are in denial.

A South Fork pharmacy is still advertising that it stocks everything you need for summer.

Forecast for Saturday is a high of 61F. Maybe that will convince them that summer is over. ;)

The first full day of fall today barely got to 61F. Very breezy.

This is the first day since the spring that we have had the gas heaters on all day.

Mrs. V doing well. Physical Therapist came today. Soon Mrs. V will only need a cane and soon after that she will not need that. :thumbsup:

My PET scan results came back yesterday. NO CANCER! :biggrin:

I do have a noncancerous tumor but it is a type that grows very slowly so the doctor will just monitor it every 6 months.

Mrs. V's cousin who lives down by the Bay has gone to France after all so we get her CSA for 2 weeks. We are awash in organic vegetables. Our daughter is roasting some of them for dinner.

It is Friday so our daughter will be voice captioning a Texas high school football game broadcast tonight.

I can remember when NFL games didn't get the high quality broadcasts that Texas school games get now. :?

Years ago I bought a Conn CC tuba from Simonetti's Tuba Exchange store. I still have it even though my playing days are long passed.
