Fun Fact

12/31/2019

 
I've tolerated my 9 year old laptop long enough. Madison's is decent but like the Toyota, it's her's. Before I wipe the data from her disk, I'll backup up all of the data and pictures. Given I'm basically a tightwad, I was hunting for a killer deal on Craigslist. While there are killer year-end sales on PCs, I don't want to buy new figuring a lot of people must have the latest and greatest. I found a very new-ish 2019 laptop that has MS Office, and SSD, and a gen-9 CPU. Sold! Rather than cluttering my new laptop with old rubbish and old emails, that was my quest. I guess I'm a data hoarder. I had every CT, MRI, x-ray, PET scan, reports, etc. from Madison's diagnosis. Time to delete that whole folder, then on to email. I have every email from every doctor, nurse, PA, etc in another folder. 

While cleansing my old emails a name came up, Curtis Cetrulo: I remember the meeting with him. Dr Cetrulo in B ostonwas the surgeon who would cut a chunk out of Madison's fibula along with arteries for the bone graft in in her neck. He patiently explained the procedure to Madison, Colleen and me and even drew it on a whiteboard. When Dr Cetrulo asked Madison which leg he should consider for the donor, I spoke up and said "That One" pointing at Colleen's leg. As Madison would say Anywho.... the fun fact: In 2016 Dr Cetrulo was the first surgeon USA to successfully transplant a penis, link here.

Happy New Year everyone who checks in here. A book in 2020 our way comes.
