Time to pay the piper....

Our previous blog spoke about the delicious meal we had near Monticello. Apparently that was all my body needed to send me over the edge. Another midnight rush to the emergency room left no doubt about the outcome and I was scheduled for surgery the next morning. The simple outpatient operation turned out to be not so simple once they found my gallbladder had reached the acute stage with gangreen and some 20 or more stones. We have extended our stay here for a few more days to make sure that I am healing properly. I don't think I'll be having any more fried chicken dinners any time soon.

Yikes! Go back to Jefferson's mansion and get some of that historic lettuce and broccoli. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Jeepers Todd! Well that's just a sad commentary on colonial food, isn't it?! Keeping the good thought!
