And it shall be done!

• Hospital discharge day, take two

This morning when the minions came by, I asked about my 15 wonderful staples and when they might be removed. Minion #1 asked how many days it had been since my surgery and it sent the other three minions flipping through the stacks of papers in their hands. "Day nine!" Minion #1 announced that day nine was too early for them to come out but that they would schedule an appointment for me with Dr. MM's PA to get them out next week. This also sent the other three minions into a writing frenzy.

Advance a few hours and in comes Dr. MM and minion #1. After a brief conversation about the overnight activity, Dr. MM touches on the pathology results, but defers to Dr. T, who I will be seeing again next week, to get the full run-down on what the report means for future treatment options. Dr. MM does say though that there was nothing unexpected. It feels like a good-bye, good luck, have a nice life speech. Before he leaves though, Dr. MM asks me if the staples came out okay. "Not out yet," I said, trying not to smile and barely noticing minion #1's slight shuffling. To which Dr. MM gives minion #1 a look and makes a motion with his arm. And it shall be done! lol 

And 30 minutes later, it is done!
