In preparation for the TUG breast reconstruction, last week I had a pre-op visit with the surgeon as well as a CT scan on Tuesday.  The contrast CT scan is used by the surgical team to map my veins and arteries, planning how they'll stitch the flap together.  Absolutely amazing!

We spent Tuesday evening and Wednesday enjoying concerts.  The Wind and the Wave was a small concert at the Sunset Tractor Tavern in Ballard.  They were a fun band in a small setting.  Here's one of their songs.

Wednesday night we went to the Paramount Theater in downtown Seattle.  This theater originally opened in 1929 and seats about 2,500 people.  It is absolutely beautiful inside this venue.  We were fortunate enough to get seats up front right outside the standing room only section to see Chvrches.  They were another amazing show, and another Scottish band.  We saw the Scottish band Of Mice and Men this summer in Seattle.

Then it was home to bed and set the alarm for 4:30am so that we could be at the University of Washington Medical Center at 5:45am to check in for surgery.
