[Magdalen] Cady

[cady soukup]

Home since Wednesday, online since about an hour ago (to straighten
out the 3 time sheets from the 2 companies I work for), slowly getting
better.

Yes, it was minimally invasive. However, they corrected a nasty atrial
fibrillation and a bad atrial flutter, with tiny little micrometer
cauterizations of heart tissue. The operating room had full, live 3-D
heart scans during the procedure so the operating team could be sure
to turn off the right bits. Amazing technology. I even got to choose
the music to slip-into-unconsciousness (Thomas Tallis). The OR team
boogied down to Otis Redding and other R&B classics during the
operation part - that also sounds pretty good.

I wanted to see the computers in the control room & the 3-D scans, but
for some reason wasn't invited. Oh well - asleep during the
interesting parts, much like the way I "watch" movies. Truly
fascinating technology!

Tomorrow ends my "house arrest" although I am still on limited
activity. In any case, prayers for you folks have continued
throughout.

hugs - grateful thanks - Cady
slowly ramping up to full speed - at least a few more days required!
