one week before ablation

 February 12 is ablation day. I am both excited to get this chapter the duck over and terrified as well.

Saturday I tried a Volkssport walk in Easton. We were starting at the garage on third street and it goes down Larry Holmes Drive and over the free bridge. My goal was to make it to the bridge. Gravy would have been crossing it. It was a beautiful, but chilly day. One hitch. We had a rule follower in the group who made us walk back to the “start” point at Forks of the Delaware and start there.  I made it there and back to the parking garage. It was probably the same difference but there is a hill but it wasn’t my goal. I was defeated. And exhausted.

I have been doing Milly and chair yoga. So I haven’t been a total slug. I still am cheating at parking at school. After the ablation I’m going to have to tackle that hill on the regular again. I also want to do the Poetry walk once it gets a little warmer.

Because this has turned into a medical blog Friday I went for blood work. Today I went for a CT scan. My first. Not awful. They gave me my results on a CD. I need to take them with me on Monday for the ablation. I guess this has replaced the envelope of xrays that we used to get.

T minus one week to ablation. Hopefully life will go back to normal. My students have no idea. They just know I can’t drive for 48 hours afterwards. My students have no idea why class will be on Zoom. I wonder how many will come. And if they keep me, will I be wearing a hospital gown with frazzled hair.

Congrats to J&A on the new batch of kids. They are adorable.
