StraightAhead

Day six post surgery today and I feel better than i did yesterday. It’s a day to day thing that’s for sure. Improvements in small increments sometimes. I walked around the block today. The weather has been great for getting well. It’s still hard to get some pills to go down my throat, i’ve never drank so much water in my life, but that gets me well quicker in other ways. I’ve lost about 8 lbs since surgery so i’m down to about 170. I weighed 165 in highschool. I wouldn’t call this a great way to lose weight but i’ll take it. I was actually shooting for 175 when i started the diet last year. I weight 15 less lbs now than i did when i got out of army basic. Enough about me i guess, no, wait , this is MY blog, lol. No, really, Mom is doing better on a daily basis too, i think. She is getting out daily to walk some with me. She still veers off to the right once in a while, so i keep my eye on her. She finishes the anti biotics she has been on today. The ones from the last hospital stay. I’ve taped a lot of good things from tv on the Tivo. I’ve found some good movies. I watched Billy Bathgate yesterday. I hadn’t seen that one in a long time. I watched Internal Affairs the day before that. I’ve found some other good things to record. I’m sure glad i have the Tivo since i’ve been laid up. I’m drinking a Jones Chocolate Fudge Soda right now, man, it’s good. My oldest son gave me a case of assorted Jones sodas for Christmas. Good present. I think i only have one left.
