Dang, what a diet. I call it the slit your throat, cut your hip diet. Really, kids, it works like the devil. Actually i just took a pain pill and my outlook is better. Really, i am better today, i started a prednisone dosepack last night to bring down the swelling in my throat to help the swallowing and it seems to be better today. I judge that on the fact that the pill that wouldn’t go down last night went down pretty easily today. well of course it’s a different pill but the same size and same medicine, you know what i mean. I’ve been seeing some great movies and drinking really good beverages during this stay in the hacienda. I started a movie while ago called, “to end all wars” an english or scottish made film i think about a railroad built through Thailand by Scottish prisoners of war held by the Japanese. Mean movie but a true story. I like the movies that depict true things. the beverages are even better since i can readily swallow them now. I’m having an ibc root beer at this time. yum. I’ve been gettng some really good get well cards too, that surely helps things. My mom has been telling me all the old stories as we sit down and eat our meals. She has told me a few that I haven’t heard before as well. I’m looking to get the attachment for my ipod called italk that lets it become a voice recorder because i would like to get some of this recorded because i know i won’t remember half of it. There was a good story about when she was a nurse that she told me the other day. I’m not going to tell it here though, aren’t you glad? I think i’ll go finish that movie. I think i’ll be able to stand this for 6 more weeks. I’ll have a great beard by then, don’t you think.
