Okay - truth time.  I mean -- I waltzed into the laser shop building today and without comment pulled out the picture of me with three 1" tubes sticking outa my chest, taken 10 days ago today.  I showed it to Nikki and said "Hey - you probably won't believe that I had surgery ten days ago today without this picture."

Seriously - I had no frickin' idea things would go this well.  I am doing so much better than I had been lead to believe - without pushing myself, mind you - that I just shake my head in wonder and glee.

Yeah, stuff still isn't all done hurting and I'm taking this and that med under supervision - but geez, this has been a walk in the park.  I'm being careful to not overdo stuff so don't bother to remind me - Nancy and I do that well enough by ourselves.

I'm doing way great.  Thanks for all the talk and wishes and chat.

Great to see you up and doing good. The wonders of modern medicine.

Update:  It was 30 days ago yesterday that I had my chest bones rendered askew and then wired back together.  I was ready for a month or more of sitting on the sofa and moaning.  Wrong.

Last night Nancy and I went to hear a Grateful Dead tribute band, and - well, c'mon, I just couldn't sit there and not get out on the dance floor when they played "Cumberland Blues".  I only danced for a coupla tunes -- prudence dictated that I sit down.  I was attracting too much attention.

It wasn't you, dumbshit – they were watching Nancy.

Glad to hear.
