2 more weeks...

It's been another two weeks of recovery, and it's going 'fairly' well.  I've had no further setbacks and am well on my way to returning to my old self.  Still quite tired by mid day; naps are good!  There've been a lot of blood tests and doctor visits and daily rehab duties.  And, I'm still having lots of problems with ulnar nerve neuropathy, caused by the surgery.  It's beginning to look like some of the nerve damage might stay on for quite a while.  I still have a struggle with the keyboard; particularly the a, caps lock tab, shift action; that little pinky just doesn't seem to want to work right.  And the back, neck, shoulder pain is still pretty fierce at times, especially when I try to sleep.  Tramadol seems to help some; at least I can get some sleep.

A time for change...

As you can see, I'm making changes to my site that give it a whole different approach. I've decided that strong opinions are a bit like hemorrhoids, sooner or later every A..... has one. Now that doesn't mean that I don't still hold the same opinions, hopes and aspirations. Rather, I choose to be a little more discrete about them from now. I think I'll stick to the things in my life that I know just a little bit more about; like maybe tech issues (websites in particular), woodworking, photography...stuff like that. I'd be more than happy to see a dialogue develop about these issues if there's the interest...

For now, my life has been pretty filled with medical stuff, pretty much dominating every minute of every day in fact. You see, my life (and my dear wife's) was tipped upside down recently when I discovered that I needed heart surgery, now! But more about that later. For now, the past four weeks have been about nothing else, and now it's a struggle to get back to some sort of normalcy. I would imagine many of you have had similar experiences in your lives and know exactly what I'm talking about. So let's share...
