Pre-Friday & Work is Work
I slept most of yesterday evening and night, I was out. But it’s ok, I needed to heal. I did get work done and ran into issues, I’m working on what’s actually going on but I had to sigh, this was a query that’s been used dozens of times and now it’s just causing the…

Voting Day
I had to go get my molar caps put on this morning at 8am. That took about an hour and then I went out and voted. No line at all, just walked up, got my ballot, voted and left, the whole process was maybe 5 minutes. Got home and had to put the new laptop…

Need to Take it Easier
I took the trash out last night and I hurt because of it. And I found out today that I don’t get the drain taken out until 11/4. Ugh. Well nothing to do but live with it. And I found that the kitchen sink is best for hair and upper body washing while setting up…

First Monday Without Appendix
I’ve been home 2 days now and I’m making progress toward healing. I’m a bit worried about my appetite or lack thereof. I’ve had a piece of toast, a piece of bread with peanut butter, a bowl of applesauce, and half a mug of cereal. Not much nutrition for the body to heal. Although I…

Still in a Bit of a Daze
After the first night back in my own bed I’m feeling a little better. I’m still sore and sick and my digestive system is a mess but everything seems to be going forward and that’s where we need it to be. I did run to the store today for some supplies, I probably should have…

Rewind – Recovery Day
So this day started off after the night from hell. It’s Friday and I’m hoping that I get to go home today but I’m sure that it’s not to be. Still too new and found out the procedure wasn’t a simple cut and snip as the appendix was perforated. Sandy came by and I have…

Rewind – Surgery Day
I spend the morning in my ER room with no sleep at all. Having to get up and take a leak with tubes and wires sticking out of me. And cold, I actually broke a veneer on tooth 7. It fractured and I’m a bit scared a piece may have gotten swallowed. I think it…

Rewind – Pain Day
So this is a flashback so I remember the next couple of days. I woke up this morning after a really bad nights sleep. I could tell that I was running a fever because of the chills and insomnia. I had Sandy get me the thermometer but temperature was normal. My stomach didn’t feel right,…

Sometimes I’m Just Not That Bright…
I’ve been complaining about having to do dev work on a MS Surface laptop because I’m used to 6 monitors. I did get a port replicator and I can add up to 3 monitors but it’s not working well. Even went so far as to order HDMI switches. And then it came to me, why…

First Day Disasters
So as I was working with the issued hardware, I managed to miss the introductory meeting with one of the other computer geeks at the company. I mean I changed the time zone and Office 365 didn’t update until I shut it down and brought it back up, at which point it said you’re going…
