Cath Lab Digest

     The cruise will be over in three days. I am really starting to miss my patients and my co-workers at the clinic. I have to make a serious attempt not to gain any more weight. I really want to try the 20-oz. porterhouse with a crust of wild mushrooms and blue cheese. I am going to sit on the deck, start another novel and maybe catch a nap while I am struggling with this diet issue. I sure wish I had brought some stretch pants along.
