Gran daughter came home from the hospital last night full of beans. What a difference, wow. Apparently they gave a shot of Nurophen, and some antibiotics. Today she was still not quite herself, a little quite. She still not eating though.

Had my pre-assessment today. In sort, AJ nearly made the decision to cancel my surgery for the 30th. When he examined my chest he found very little wheezing; but said there was a slight crackling to the base of my lungs. After much discussion...
