4/26/2019 – colonoscopy

Got up at 6 am to take the second round of last night’s laxatives. Third day of this process.

Appointment at 10:30am at CMH. 

Anesthetist said that she was starting the propofol drip. I woke up sometime later back in the ambulatory room. Never actually met the doctor, Dr. Blachman. He walked in when I was already lying on my side falling asleep. Everything went well. Everything normal.

Lunch at The Cascades at 1:15 pm with Karen. Miranda Barry and Charlotte Sheedy were there. Charlotte still doesn’t recognize me. 

Had a new sandwich, The Catamount.

Catamount (Vegetarian) $8.25
Hummus, cucumber, roasted red peppers, grated carrots, sprouts, and mozzarella cheese with a touch of balsamic vinaigrette served on mixed grain bread

Think this will be my go-to sandwich in place of tuna on multi-grain.

Talked with Matt Almeida. Things are slow on his end.

Geodesic dome house along Rte 25 in Stockport.

Linda and I went on a little ride in the country. Stockport Creek, then along Hudson River to Rte 25 to 9H to Stottville.

Stop at Price Chopper for bread for garlic bread.

Flat Tire

Dave Drake called at 6 to say that he had a flat tire. So we agreed to declare victory and we would get together another time. This left us short spaghetti sauce. Opened freezer, hot sausage into the nuker and 30 minutes later sauce. Karen made garlic bread a la Joy of Cooking. Very good.
