I used to read all the time. There was a period of my life when I didn't even have a television. I used to profess to kill your television. Now, tv is my best friend. Sure, I need to get out and walk every hour or so; but, television is awesome. It brings me Twins games and The Price is Right and Ghost Hunters and Food Network and a host of others to spin the day away as I mend and grow stronger. In the past 3 years of work, I have never watched this much tv. How do you talk to another human being? My dog naps, I nap.
Still, this is not the 11th day of not being at work, 10 days since I had my surgery and 4 more days on my Atenolol. I am finally on pureed food. I made some pureed chicken and fat free re-fried beans. My nurse suggested adding spice to the mixture and I have made the meal taste like Mexican food by using FF sour cream and crushed red pepper and smooth taco sauce, which is fat free and awesome! Next, I'm gonna have a hard boiled egg tomorrow, pureed of course.
Thanks goes out to my beautiful wife for keeping me moving at night and being so involved in helping me get back to where I need to be. I miss work and can't wait to get back into the fold. Hopefully they haven't figured out that they really don't need me...just kidding.

Hey Sipe, this is from Mary and I. You looked really good yesterday. But then again we always thought you looked GOOD. Thanks for coming over. Robb said he has already started to enjoy his birthday gift -- maybe next year you can join in.
ReplyDeleteI think it only began to sink in what you are going through -- and will continue to go through. We are so grateful that you made the choice. Go SIPE.
