No one warned me of this fact.
I wonder why not.
Yesterday I was pecking away at the keyboard, trying to get an article or two done before my arm fatigued and gave-out. Racing along, I noticed the computer was getting really sluggish. First I ran my spyware, and then I decided to reboot my server.
Whoops.
I […]
Last night I went to sleep at 8 PM…truth be told, I wanted to go to bed at 7. I was exhausted.
But then I couldn’t sleep.
Too tired to work. Too awake to sleep.
Why’s this? Well, my red blood cell count is still way down. I don’t think it’ll bounce back until I start […]
It’s been a few days, hasn’t it?
I’m continuing to heal and even gave a talk at the Oran Conference in Fort Collins on Saturday (thanks Diane!)
I think it went well.
Today’s been another busy one, with traffic court in the morning (an “improper” left turn) and a trip to Fort Collins mid-day. Thanks Doc! […]
are the simplest.
For me, one of the biggest challenges is taking a shower. Nowhere else do I feel more frail, more fragile, more vulnerable, more human, or more broken.
It’s a little odd staring down at my legs. With some muscle and tone still remaining, one leg reminds me of who I was and who I […]
Ah haaa!!! I see a pattern developing here, and I like patterns, they mean routine and PREDICTABILITY.
I tend to get up, get my meds, serve my “girls” (dogs) breakfast, make my breakfast, sit down, email my fiancee (one more month training in Japan, then she’s HOME!!!), check for the days emergencies, and then enter a […]
Wow. Last night was very interesting. I was feeling particularly human, or filled with a twang of fear or self-doubt. I’m still not quite sure where it came from, but thankfully, I chased it away.
It happened after visiting the doc. I needed a cast change as my current cast was too lose (as an aside, […]
Hi Joe,
Thanks for all of the great comments!
The short answer is I use Habernero sauce on almost everything I eat. I’m constantly searching for the hottest sauce I can find. Typically it’s soy products, strangely enough, I’ve been going vegan over the last year. Never thought I could do that with heavy training, but it’s […]
Morning all!
Have a good holiday weekend?
I’m feeling great this morning, though it’s now time to get down to “business”. There’s a lot of writing and work to be done this morning.
Fortunately, I’m highly motivated, and the body appears to be cooperating. It’s amazing how my body kicks into gear after I ask it too. I […]
Walking from the living room to the kitchen is a major ordeal. I often skip meals or water because it’s a lot of work to get me from one place to the other.
But the only way to improve is to get stronger. And I KNOW the trouble isn’t moving, it’s the pain of sitting for […]
Wow!!!!!!!!!
I feel so much better today. I admit, last night was pretty rough, AND my arm is still easily irritated by small moves (perhaps the cast is too large since my arm’s atrophied???) but my leg feels a whole lot better. Thanks to my roommate Justin’s assistance (thank you!!!) I purchased and am wearing […]
