Vitruvian Vinifera...

Today's agenda included a brief trip over the river, a scheduled visit with her plastic surgeon, and some weekly blood work at the lab.

The flow of fluids was supposed to follow a simple exchange: saline in...at the plastic surgeon's, to balance bosomy symmetries; claret out...at the phlebotomist's, to peruse platelet symmetries. Dr. Nahabedian told her that her expansion was complete...so no more need for saline. The final (outpatient) reconstructive surgery should be scheduled for the last week in April.

After enduring the surgical gaze, we meandered through the labyrinth and found our way to the lab for the required weekly blood work, necessary in order to monitor the white blood cell demographics. These donations to the phlebotomy vineyard avoid the vines running down her arm. Instead, the trained venipuncturist focused on the pulpy fruit at her fingertips. Once again, my camera intruded upon another set of symmetries, pixelated verities of a recent vintage.

Here is the series of images in slideshow presentation. If you would like a closer experience, a visual tasting if you will, de-cork and click here to view the images and read the captions at your own pace.
