I promised Mama that I’d write another blog post, but when I tried to come up with something to write I had a deep and important realization. There are very few things duller than getting well. It makes drying paint look fascinating in comparison.
Basic News: We had an appointment with the surgeon’s assistant, who checked over X-rays, EKG output, and the actual body, then removed the sutures. Everything is pretty nominal. My symptoms were all expected. I’d say “I feel…” and he’d say “That’s called….”
On a more subjective basis, I feel pretty good. I’m walking farther, more frequently, and with more stamina each day. All the pretty colors and interesting visual effects have been disappearing as I get farther from 6 hours of anesthetic. The pain pills, which I still use to help me sleep at night, produce no such interesting effects. On the other hand, they DO help me sleep which seems to be the most productive activity I have just now. The body feels better each time I wake up.
I realize that you really need to hear is “Here I am! Here I am!” and what I need in return is “So glad you are!”. See Harmonium for why that’s funny. What I will do is post more travel posts from the past, including the Bahamas and the Eastern Sierras. Your responses are welcome in the comments.
Are you too weak to blog?
Hi Mike,
It’s great to hear you’re at home now and on road to healing…and “So glad you are”!
I know you’ll look back at “world of difference” from how you felt after surgery to where you will be a year from now.
Hi, Flo.
Love,
Diana
It’s all good, but what about an update.
