I have had the tune Waltzing Matilda running around in my head since about 4:00 yesterday afternoon. If you want to know more about the song, there’s cool info here and here.
You may wonder why I have been thinking about this song and I’m not sure except that perhaps a deeply buried Cockney in me is coming out…
You see, they have been doing all the “routine” pre-op tests and called yesterday to say they discovered I have Walking Pneumonia. Get it, Waltzing Matilda – Walking Pneumonia? Well, maybe not, but it’s working for me.
What does this mean? Two weeks of strong antibiotics (that seem to give me insomnia) followed by a another chest x-ray all of which must occur before I have surgery. So, Feb 7 is out… I’m hoping for the 21st. Ugg…
Everybody together now, “waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you come a waltzing Matilda with me…”
