Back Home

Back in Statesville after another week helping Mom. The pile is shrinking, but it's still big. Adding to it now, real estate. Swell.   A little over a week, now, post-op, and I went way off the reservation yesterday and this morning. I had to have food. I bought me some Angus flank strips and some shredded cheddar and made me a couple of steak and cheese omelettes. The shame. At least it was high-protein.   I doffed off a couple more pounds this week. I'm healed up enough, now, I

Somewhat better tonight but still worn to the screws. Many thanks for the thoughts on last evenings near-diatribe.   Not much to say about me and mom's meeting with the lawyer. Nice lady, but I think I know less now than before we talked.   I ate grits this evening. Not proper grits, but not a Glucerna shake either. Nary a hiccup with it. Tasted good. Didn't mess me up, and I was full for the first time in 6 weeks - a real plus in my book.   We took the boys swimming over at my cousi

A little drained this evening....hell, I'm beat.   The drive up to my mom's had a little more in it than I was expecting. After two days sans pain killers, I was back on that horse this evening. The boys were all jacked, too, so tending them has been...challenging.   My dad's being gone is real this trip. I guess I was so in the event a couple weeks back, I didn't have a chance to miss him. Well...it's real. Not a lot more can be said.   Tomorrow is lawyer and legal crap day. I've ki

Here's the blog. Hooray.   It ain't all about me, the language could be a little more colorful, and the forums aren't the place for literary pursuits. So, there you go.   Off we go...

(Approaching) Four Days Post-op

There is little new to discuss, really, in my brave new world this morning.   I made a bold (read: idiotic) decision to mash up a hard boiled egg last evening and eat it. This misguided effort came after watching three hours of Extra Virgin on The Cooking Channel - a behavior that will have to stop, no doubt. I'm not sure if Dr. Gary squoze me up a little or not during surgery, but he may as well have. I felt every bit of said egg extrude through every millimeter of my innards. Not painful
