Surgery day

 I ran 2 miles at the track at midnight this morning and another 1.2 miles in town at mid-morning.  Total 3.2 miles.  Went down to Tomball this afternoon to have my pacemaker removed and replaced by one that has a built-in defib.  It was basically the same surgery that broke my streak back in April 2021.  I think the anesthesia I got was the placebo.  I seemed wide awake for the whole surgery and felt everything.  Did not get out of the surgery center until after 7 tonight.  Very sore now and restricted.  The good news is that I get to turn in the defib vest, which I have been wearing for over 3 months.
