Short takes from Operation Ablation

• I wasted not to cough till I healed. I didn't even bother pointing out that this is as silly as telling  me not to fall because I am on blood thinners. I have been OK mostly, but today I doubled over when coughing. That hurt.
• Until last night, I had despaired of ever getting all the adhesive off my body. Fame, really my sister, solved it. Fame stepped in gum on our walk over the weekend. My sister got it off with canola oil. It worked on the adhesive, too. YAY!
• Long-term teleworking -- until I am off the blog thinner --- is boring.
• My nephew and niece both offered to stay home from school to minister to their ailing uncle.
