Day 12 - Dr. Diane removes sutures!

Well, she did it. Diane was able to remove my stitches without passing out this morning.  What a trooper.  I was smart enough to have her sitting while she was working on me, then immediately told her to lie down on her bed - so she didn't pass out!  We're trying to download a youtube of the big event.  I've got a patch of hair about 1/4" long on top of my head.  So bazaar.  Diane has regained her normal coloring at this point - she was looking pretty ashen for awhile there.  Another big event - Diane drove the car over here on a back road in Co Clare after she was feeling better.  Did a good job.  I only felt like she was in Driver's Training for a few brief moments!Removing Stitches-CLICK HERE

We took off from Bunratty, Co. Clare and did a cross-country drive to Co. Meath and are currently in Trim.  Had a blast today.  Diane had a desperate need to hit a bathroom so stopped by a breakfast  place.  She instead ran into the pub next door and ended up walking into a formal party event, literally running across the room in front of the head table.  The woman running the event ran after Diane who was running for the bathroom.  Quite the commotion.  Later that day, dropped into the "Judge and Jury" pub for lunch, and landed smack in the middle of the weekly bingo game.  2 euro/game card and on our third game, I won taking home the pot of 30 euros which paid for our games, a few pints, and dinner tonight.  What a fun, kick-back way to spend the day!  Diane and I are off tomorrow for a day at Bru na Boinne to checkout Newgrange, an enigmatic burial ground older than the pyramids.

Feels great to have my stitches out.  Diane is watching Clint Eastwood in "Hang em High"  Ah, what could be better than spaghetti westerns in Ireland!
