Definitely tell somebody about the rash! The incision may have to go around it! ~VOW ---

**3rd Installment in my Musical meanderings** DIL and Big Sister took a look at the rash. There’s also a big **X** , drawn on my right flank. Ostensibly the PA did that while I was sleeping earlier. So I guess he saw the rash. The Nurse says it’s in my chart. I ran everyone off. I need peace right now. A decent movie is on TCM. And…I have new Dr.Dre headphones on . The Nurse says I can have the TV on, all night, as long as there’s no sound. I’m good to go! When I was asleep I was dreaming of the song ‘Baby Blue by Badfinger’ took me all evening to remember the song and band. I’m sure I never owned it. I cannot remember where I know it from. When I was in the MRI tube thingy a song called ‘Elvis and Andy’ was playing way too loud. I have to say the song kinda made me happy:) This hospital experience is turning into a musical. When I’m well I’m gonna write a screen play. Yes, I will. The song ‘Pancho and Lefty’ will definatly be in the play. :::stay tuned::: (Another song may pop-up) ETA: the hungry and come and gone. ---

Maybe next time you doze off, Beck, the soundtrack will be “Blue Skies”: _Blue skies smilin’ at me, Nothing but blue skies do I see. …_ _Never saw the sun shinin’ so bright, never saw things goin’ so right._ You’re wrapped like a cocoon in love and good wishes! ---

Well, it’s 8 AM and surgery time. Beck’s probably in pre-op or surgery by now. Depends on the schedule. My mom did anesthesia for over 35 years. She was always at work by 6AM. The doctors like to get an early start. Sending Beck my best wishes and thoughts. ---
