HOSPITAL HOPPING

The angioplasty on the lower extremities part one appears to be scheduled sometime in the first half of November. But I'm not sure. Three different messages, two actual appointments. The actual event itself, and the follow-up a few weeks later. Only then the subsequent event, date as yet not set. There are two lower extremities, two events. If I were Ctulhu, it would be a complete nightmare. He has too many extremities. For purposes of this essay I am calling his tentacles lower extremities, but not his arms. So at least ten. Plus nine brains: one in the head, and a secondary brain in each tentacle.

Bear in mind that angioplasties are usually not done near to the brain-brain, but might be done in the tentacles, depending on how comfortable the surgeon is with that.
It's a bit of a toss-up. I shall have to consult with my medical team.

Too near the brain you want a stent.

Please bear in mind that the number of tentacles is not set in stone. It could be more than eight. One need not assume that he actually is an octopus, or octopod-human hybrid. Some depictions show him with a mass of tentacles that's quite like a lion's mane. And it could be an odd number, outer-space alien-like. How does a cardiovascular specialist even train for that? Again, I shall have to consult with aforementioned medical team.

Anyhow. Hospital A near the park just after mid-day today. Back downtown, visit bank. Then over to Chinese Hospital to have blood drawn, and a phlebotomy conversation in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin. Venipuncture: 靜脈穿刺 'jing mak chuen chi'. I am always flabbergasted when someone understands me in any language.

At the first hospital we also did an EKG (心電圖 'samd din tou'), which helps determine that the patient (me) is not actually Ctulhu or a zombie. Which is very important.
Having proof of that is reassuring to medical people.
They didn't check for tentacles.


Like yesterday, a rather busy day. but better temperatures.
My body parts feel much better than on Monday.
