Oh yeah, I'm alive and well. The ablation that turned out not to be an ablation was good news. Nothing to do. Better still? I get to drop two medications that I take twice a day.

I picked this bag up at night market somewhere in south Asia and it's my latest lucky charm. it'a about the size of a passport bag but it was big enough to hold my meds if case I was held overnight (they never get all of your meds right away), my ear buds and my phone and watch charger. I probably should taken a picture of it when it was stuffed and there was a tangle of black wires sticking out the top the that the cat determines to take down.

Political discussion welcome.
