If Chops can come back for a post, so can I...
Been very, VERY busy. The project is opening in 74 days. 15-hour days are becoming routine, and so are 7-day weeks.
I did need to take 3 days off 2 weeks ago... Mrs. Mountmars needed emergency surgery for the removal of her appendix. That went well. Post-surgery recovery did not. Her breathing collapsed and she was coughing her huge amounts of blood. 2 days of blood-thinners and multiple tests to see if she had blood clots in her lungs later, the medical team attributed the problem to a nasty reaction to the general anesthesia and lots of fluid in her lungs. The blood probably came from ruptured blood vessels that broke while her body was trying to force out all those fluids.
The incisions still hurt from time to time, and the breathing is good. She spent the whole day out with me yesterday, coming to work for a few hours, shopping, and meeting family for dinner. She's well on the way to recovery.
Needless to say, my next opportunity for a Montreal trip will likely be October.
Take care all.
