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
