Today I give thanks for the male Scottish nurse who has now woken me up twice from sedation in the last four months. There is something nice about waking up in a fog and feeling pretty certain that your long deceased Scottish grandfather is whispering in your ear.
I am also thankful for whoever invented sedation. I cannot even imagine these procedures without them.
Finally, as always, I am thankful for my personal paramedic who stayed home to take care of me. If only emptying the dishwasher was part of his training...
