Figured I'd better start this now because I won't have time either tonight when I get home from work or tomorrow morning.

We have to be at York (Maine) Hospital tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. It's a little over an hour drive, so we have to be on the road before 6. I don't get home tonight from work until 9-ish, so I guess I'll have to wind down fast and sleep fast.

But Tom's defibrillator/pacemaker battery is -- at long last -- going to be renewed tomorrow.

Not sure how long it will take. It's a multi-part procedure (he can probably fill you all in on it) that involves a mid-day lobster roll. (That part I get to share in! That and the driving him home.)

Then, supposedly, the defib will be reset so he has some ENERGY, which he hasn't had since they started readjusting it to extend the battery life.

All good wishes for an uneventful procedure welcomed! As with any number of friends these days, we're getting pretty sick of hospitals.
