• Looks like we're already up against that point in the spring where I don't go outdoors until fall
• That was early this year!
• Still need to find somebody to do the grass and stuff though
• It's too hot and humid for all that and it's about time I outsourced that crap!

Have fun out there!

• Gym done
• Golf - Tuesday morning old guy scramble
• Carne guisada….it's what's for breakfast
• A demon got his horns - The Wife's pos child molesting first husband died from brain cancer. Kharma.

Slept great last night.
Slept through all thunderstorms earlier this morning.
Ready for the day to be over with, because it's my night to close.
Have a great day y'all!!

Back from a long weekend visiting family.

Not enough sleep. Stayed up too late watching clips from the Chernobyl miniseries and then puppy was woofing and growling about something at 3:30am. No idea what. I looked for scorpions or some other bug in the house near him.

Then looked outside. Nothing.

7am meeting canceled so came into work early to start spreading joy via email.

Happy birthday to that kiddo!

They grow up quick don't they? Mine is 10 and thinks she's Taylor Swift.

My oldest(RyDawg) is about to be 10 and I swear he just turned 1 not that long ago. I only have boys so they all think they are Hardy screaming "My town's smaller than your town!".

• It's gonna be a long day.
• Didn't go to bed til after 11PM (hubs had to take someone to hospital)
• Lots of meetings today but would really prefer a nap.
• Lots of travel work tonight

Office all morning. Sucks, Beavis.
But I get an afternoon treat taking out this bad boy (or girl, however it identifies today).

God, I hope not! That's her airway!!

This?

No. Play the Symmetry game. You can get this

Was it a tumor or a cyst?

Yes.
Likely a branchial cleft cyst. Present at birth and usually present in childhood. This was a 53-year-old lady. Sometimes it do be that way, though.
Rather an annoying case, in all honesty. Kept wanting to be stuck to the jugular vein. I guess they had 53 years to get cozy with each other, and they took umbrage to my separating them. No explosion at the ketchup factory today, but lots of "puckering" going on by Yours Truly. Plus these extend way up into the neck (not shown here) and go all the way into the base of tongue and tonsil, so you have to traverse a lot of expensive real estate to get them out. I may or may not have done some whining during the case.

Damn. That sounds like one of your more memorable cases.

No. I'm just getting old and difficult cases are losing their lustre.

If it was easy they would have asked someone else to do it. They trusted you.

Did you use laser or scalpel or both for excision of the tumor?

I'm guessing he scoped it.

Incision in the front of the neck and then dig, dig, dig to get it out. Luckily I had an extra scrub tech to "hold hooks" and retract to help get it out.
