boringness continues, mostly

bunrabMostly I'm still just sitting and reading and napping, and occasionally crocheting much slower than normal.
But today I did have an appointment with the infectious disease specialist. She decided that if tomorrow's blood draws come back w/ OK results, then next Monday will be my last IV antibiotic; the visiting nurse can then remove the PICC line, I'll take oral antibiotics for an additional week, and life will start feeling a little more like normal. As in, I should be able to go to rehearsal next Wednesday. (I might go to Monday's rehearsal just to sit - won't be able to play, yet - but I have to think about that, because one of the awkward bits about having the PICC line and the surgical site dressing is, I can't dress normally. I feel a little weird in public wearing size large short-sleeve sports shirts with no bra under them. Was that TMI? Anyway, that might keep me from even sitting at rehearsal.)
The surgical wound is healing up very quickly and very well.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with my regular cardiologist, mainly for paperwork stuff to get done. We'll hit up the Columbia branch of the Howard County Public Library while we're down there.
I have managed to read a few books. While I was in the hospital last week, I read Deadly Beloved from the Gregor Demarkian series - somehow, I seem to have skipped that one. I re-read a weird bit of English humor called The Creation Memoes and also re-read Armour's American Lit Re-Lit. Since I got home, I've only been reading all the newspapers to catch up on, and my mail, and stuff on-line; the occasional chapter in re-reading David Owen's The Walls Around Us when I just have to have a book in my hands. To remind me, as ever, that water is the enemy of houses.
