A Stent in Time Saves...Me?

{Groan: a trite title} ~ A Purely Personal Post ~

Yesterday I had a "procedure" that is both life changing and life saving: I had a cardiac catheterization that ended with a stent inserted into an artery on the surface of my heart.

I'm still processing it in my mind.

Overcoming Parkinson's Law

I'm still fighting with Parkinson's Law, but this time from the other side. (You can revisit my first post about Parkinson's Law here: http://www.jaggers.pw/2015/08/my-personal-bane-parkinsons-law.html or you can poke around the "August" Archives on the right.)

Thus, an elderly lady of leisure can spend the entire day in writing and dispatching a postcard to her niece."
