Deja Vu All Over Again

Close to four years ago when I traveled to the U of Iowa Hospital to visit my mom after her heart surgery after Quinn was born of June 9, I didn't turn left when I needed to because of the shoddy signage here in the Iowa City/Coralville area.

I traveled to the same area today, and to my chagrin, I didn't take the left turn yet again, driving too far south, cursing the urban planners in this part of Iowa, and eventually turning around to the get to the confusing U of Iowa Hospital.

Virg has his surgery tomorrow. He'll have a double bypass and get a sketchy valve replaced if they can do so.

I'll try to write a message tomorrow to tell interested folks how it went.

My father had a quadruple a few years back. Came out of it fine, though he had that big scary zipper down his chest for a while. My sister had to have surgery a short while later, and the next time I visited I got treated to my familiy members showing off their scars like they'd just been through the war. "Oh yeah, you think that's bad? Look at THIS: you can see where all the staples were!" And they wonder why I don't come see them more often.
