We escaped the brunt of the storm here yesterday and last night.  Lots of wind and somewhere around a quarter to half inch of ice from the freezing rain.  Fortunately, only the cable TV went out for a bit last night, and not the power.  Things are much calmer here today, although it is snowing at the moment.  I don’t think we’re expecting much accumulation.

I haven’t heard from the surgeon yet today, and I didn’t expect that I would given that he was scheduled to be in surgery all day long.

I did speak to one of the admin assistants in the office about extending my leave, and she said she’d make sure to leave him a message to contact me tomorrow.

I’ll fax him my latest readings around 10:30 PM tonight so that he’ll have them first thing in the morning.

I had a couple of coworkers pop in for separate visits this afternoon, and it was good to interact with someone other than through a keyboard.  I’ll have to admit, though, that by the end of the second visit, my voice was cracking. I guess I’m not used to talking to anyone for an extended period of time.  I’ll have to start singing to myself as I walk around the house.
