we're now reduced to the so called Cheese Fakchooree


The buthers and my sister last year tentatively decided to go to dinner at
the Cheesecake Factory in Veelo Grow Mall on Saturday 11/24. (That's
Thanksgiving weekend, and PS they were doing nothing for the actual day of
Thanksgiving, because basically, we don't care.)

Reasons:
For the hell of it
Terry's birthday
Celebrate tato's apparently successful esophageal procedure
Aunt Freddie's anniversary , and I think there's a CVS in the mall, so it
will be convenient for her, even if she doesn't like the food or the mojitos
there.)

interestingly when tato was having his esophagus surgery, he was not on
antibiotics. Not really generally necessary for this type of
procedure.
I just wish there was some pain killer he could take without it making him
even sicker.

His drowsiness was mostly generic, not drug induced. He refused to take any
pain killers. It was just sick, tired, post-anesthetic, old age tiredness.
He sounded a lot better after a while? And he ate chicken soup, so that's
good. SO he had a great time at the Cheez Fachoore

But then my mother got sick. Ma is loopy. She knows that fevers cause
chills. She's just playing dumb that she doesn't know this

my sister took off work to take him to the hospital. she also brought tato
home from the hospital this
evening and everything went as well as could be expected, . I think one of
the lousiest parts for him was eating nothing but
mooshy food for the week before we went out. That, and the brain-surgeon
instruction list
they sent him home with. Geez, no wonder seniors don't follow instructions.
Who can remember all that?

And speaking of lousy, when he was in recovery, the nurse was waking him up
and asked him how he felt. he said, as usual, "Lousy". She went into a
near-panic when he said that because she didn't know that's his standard
response. There isn't much humor in the cancer recovery ward, I guess.
