DAY 873.5 - Day 723.5 in Recovery Paradise

Happy to have awakened at the end

Happy to have arrived at the Party
Another small saga in my life is complete.  I arrived at the Cardio unit at Kaiser at 8am for my first of many birthday celebrations. 

I changed into a chic paper dress with matching paper shoes presented to me, just for the occasion.  It was very fashionable affair as all the other guests wore matching outfits, however,  I was surprised to discover it was also a costume ball, as they all wore masks.  

As I was the only guest from the 60's, I got all the drugs and the guests (hopefully) went without. 

Lots of wires and electrical hook-ups, as it turned out I was not only the birthday boy, but also the entertainment.  I was probably an electrically charged  marionette as the main attraction.  Having gotten up early and consumed my "legal meds" through a convenient IV hookup - I was a party pooper and slept through the whole show. 

I am hopeful that a home video of the party will show up on YouTube later tonight, as I am curious how I only got half my chest shaved.

Song of the Day:  Happy Birthday - Stevie Wonder
