Railsplitter

I wanted the twilight
They gave me the works
They wanted me still
Those uncaring jerks
They can’t hit my heart
When I’m thrashing about
Seems their fancy degrees
Are nothing to flout 
My head’s feeling like
Someone’s drilling a hole
Or splitting a rail
Or playing whack-a-mole
But it’s all good
They say I’ve got rhythm
If you can’t beat ‘em
It’s best to join with ‘em

The general anesthesia has me slowed down for a bit, with continued headache and sore throat, and the procedure left a feeling like severe heartburn, but that will subside, and I'll be out and about soon! Thanks, Vickey!

Seems like perhaps they hit your creative wires with an extra jolt while they were at it! Hope you're feeling okay :-)

Something tells me Jeff has had a heart cath! Hope his results were good.

I certainly do hope so, too, Jeff.

The ablation procedure! Mapped the electrical activity, then zapped portions that were causing unwanted feedback. Hoping it was successful
