What DOES Telfer do ALL Day?

So, we all know that Telfer is an anesthesia resident…but beyond the general "putting people to sleep" thing, this is a really good web article on the ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) website detailing what an anesthesiologist does during an operation. I keep needling Telfer for it to be take-your-wife-to-work-day but so far, this is as good as it gets for me too!

In other news, we are still recovering from Bathroom Remodel 2007. This weekend we had a nice welcome set of events that kept us from working too hard…in a good way. Troy and Becky and Ian and Chloe (explanation of relationship: Becky is Nate’s sister – Nate is Alyssa’s husband – Alyssa is my sister) stopped in for a night on their way to Legoland. It’s funny. I have met Becky and Troy once (at Alyssa’s wedding) BUT we have become Internet Friends (Becky has a blog). Telfer also went a’conferencing on Sunday and Monday in Palm Desert but I went out with him on Monday and enjoyed the reading time, too much caffeine and free drug rep lunch at PF Changs.

Henry, for one, is not impressed


New bathtub!

Suddenly, after threatening to unleash the fury of the Better Business Bureau on the tub company, we started to see some results. "Mrs. Griffith, we apologize, we forgot to include the proper instructions for installing your system. Perhaps a discount on your purchase is in order?" Thanks, I’ll take it.

So, we now have a working shower, and believe me, we smell and look a whole lot better than last week. Classically, Telfer had the busiest week so far of his entire residency (we plan too well) and so we had to delay the actual installation of the shower until Saturday afternoon. We still have a lot to do with molding and painting and minor details (see more pictures on Flickr, like a door for the bathroom, but we are still quite happy. But for poor Henry, a working bathtub, pretty or otherwise, means he has to endure the unfortunate weekend bath.
