Next Monday is surgery day for Y to remove his pilonidal cyst; he is in for his pre-op blood and paperwork this afternoon in preparation. We are very pleased to have been able to get him in so quickly given the upcoming events of August. The surgery is a half hour outpatient procedure with a recovery time of somewhere between one and three weeks, apparently. The surgeon plans to utilize a new procedure that, when successful, reduces recovery time significantly (from 2 weeks out of work to 2 days out of work)... When unsuccessful, the longer recovery time is necessary - and apparently twice-daily dressing of the surgery cite to keep it open and draining. Lovely. We'll see what happens.Meanwhile Q's and my colds are finally nearly gone and Y's discomfort level from his infection has been reduced to almost nil - just a bit of tenderness. We are back on west coast time and more or less caught up on sleep from the travel and trip. So life is calming down...
