Kitchen window. Spring 2024.

A watched toaster never pops.

–ooOoo–

Anyways…..I had to have some routine pre-op tests yesterday before my procedure on Thursday. Basically, they are going to stick a couple of wires into my prostate and throw a switch unleashing ten bazillion gigawatts of high octane med-lectricity deep into its prostatic giblets, you know…just to let it know who’s boss.

Anyways….One of the tests was a 12-lead ECG. The young nurse asked me to take off my t-shirt and hop up on the bed.

“Sure”, I said.

“But before that. Can you take anything metal out of your pockets…..and take off your watch….and your shoes…and your belt…and that pendant, and your earring…oh and pop off your glasses.”

“Um…..sure”, I obeyed.

“Now, breathe out, hold your breath…AND DON’T MOVE!”

I guess I got an ECG and airport security clearance to board an international flight.

–ooOoo–

OK then, I’m all set.
Can you smell something burning?
