Back to ICU in AM- MG repair last week, wedding before that

Published on April 30, 2007 By DaBossmon In Your Car

Start back to 14 days in the ICU in the AM - 7 days of 13+ hours, then 7 nights of 13+ hours, all in the ICU at our hospital.

We have a group of 4 docs that provide 24H/day. 7days/week in house ICU physician coverage. We see 95%+ of the patients admitted to our ICU. Specific patient info can't be posted, but other related stories can be interesting, frustrating, entertaining and educating. The group is 4 docs, all specializing in ICU medicine, all we do is ICU (Critical Care) Medicine. We also have 3 physician extenders and hope to have a 4th this summer. We also have an RN, many years of experience on our ICU before family life required her to find another job. Just so happened we were looking for someone of her skills and now she works for us. We have a clerical person in our office who helps handle all the administrative issues for us.

Spent the last 2 weeks off, the first week was getting ready for then being in my oldest sons wedding in Harahan, LA at the Magnolia Plantation. Jeremiah and Kati got back from their honeymoon to Lake Catherine State Park Friday and stopped in. They left Saturday pm for home in Ama, LA near her parents.

This week I spent getting some things done around the house, got a new mower - Exmark LazerZ HP - a commercial zero turn mower that is awesome! Cut all the front and backyards in under 2 hours, used to take at least 6 hours to do that, and I mowed a significantly larger area this time than we normally do. Great mower. Highly recommended, but NOT cheap.

The other projects this week were a new printer for the wife, treating the lawn for cinch bugs, after a good cutting. Cuts LOTS faster with the new mower, got done in <2 hours what used to take 4-6 hours for less area cut. Fertilize the yard and weed treatment, so we keep having to mow this year. And getting the rest of the front suspension of the 1978 MG-B rebuilt.

Previously I have replaced the steering rack, the bushings, with all polyurethane, the bearings, the brake rotors - with the drilled and slotted rotors from Moss Motors. Also have replaced the brake pads and all the brake lines and the brake master cylinder. Previously also the bearings while working on the brakes. This time I replaced the front coil springs and the front lever arm shocks, will send the old units back for rebuilding, as well as all the bump stops. Got rid of some nasty noises with that.

For now, to bed work comes early in the AM. Alas, no time for Supreme Commander or Company of Heroes this weekend. Therefore, can't end as a perfect weekend. :-<

Next time off plan to replace the rear lever arm shocks with rebuilt ones and completely replace the rear leaf springs and assembly. All part of the life an LBC owner (Little British Car)

Till next time
