Health Update

Kathy had her hip replacement on Monday, and it went extremely well.  She’s been through it all before, and is managing her recovery splendidly.

When you’re prepping for surgery, and afterwards in recovery, the nurses are forever asking you for your name and date of birth, presumably so they can determine if your mental function is working at some base level.  Kathy got bored with this a lot quicker than the nurses did, so she’d demonstrate her mental competence by reciting “The Walrus and the Carpenter” in its entirety, or by declaiming pi to thirty decimal places.

I’m not sure if this demonstrates normal mental function, exactly, but I’m sure it was entertaining.
