@grasshopper did Doris Day sing about your garment of choice? I seem to recall “Que Sarong Sarong . . .”

Although starting this prior to surgery last Tuesday, thanks to my wife’s good sense, I left it at home and took the Grisham paperback instead. I’ll finish this while being forced to rest this week.

Truth be told my wife got this for me to take to the hospital on Tuesday. It was an excellent choice; not heavy in either a gravitational or a literary way. I was able to finish it prior to Wednesday’s discharge.
FWIW, I read the paperback version, not an audio edition.

A gift from our younger son to assist me to get me through convalescence after prostate surgery last Tuesday.

I used the product linked below. Don’t forget gravity is also your friend in this situation.

Where in Michigan?

The Guinness world record is 134F/56.7C in Death Valley, CA, USA. Something is terribly wrong when Canadians are dealing with Death Valley type temperatures in their homes.

Lytton, that town in south-central British Columbia, set a new all-time across Canada high temperature record, for the third day in a row. Yesterday’s temp was 49C, or 122F. This is beyond extreme for us. The police reported that 75 people in southern BC died suddenly yesterday, for heat-related reasons. Most of them lived alone and were elderly or had respiratory problems of some sort. The other common factor was that their rooms were at 40C/104F or higher when the police arrived.
How alarming and sad to think of those unable to escape such dangerous heat.

Just gotback home . . .
I too just got home today from The University of Michigan Hospital and HoLEP surgery yesterday. I feel great. If you have BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), an enlarged prostate affecting urinary function, I highly recommend the procedure and the institution. Thanks to U of M Hospital, this Spartan can now more easily GO YELLOW.

Careful...they may have left a remotely detonatable nano particle bomb in there
The staff couldn't be nicer. They are nice to me and nice to each other. No one is officious or the least bit arrogant. This place is in sharp contrast to the last hospital I was in.
That said, I wouldn't want to be in here on a football Saturday; I couldn't even pretend to root for the Wolverines.

I thought of you when a nurse looked at my gown and said, "You're not used to wearing a dress, are you?"

So far, no sexy nurses or doctors, but the staff is uniformly pleasant and helpful.

Hospital food is terrible -
Actually, the chicken quesadilla, chips and fruit cup for lunch were quite good. I wouldn't come here just for the food, but it's not bad.

Thanks to all for well wishes. I'm told the procedure went well. I feel OK. Stuck in bed with input and output tubes until tomorrow.

Not the one in the picture. But I have one I'll send you for the recovery. If you like it you can buy it at the UofM/MSU in state discount.
Thanks! I’ll gladly pay shipping.
