I did not realize how tired these last couple of days have been for me. This morning I slept in until 9am, something that I rarely do and only really do when I am not feeling well. I do not feel sick at all, just tired. It was to the extent that I actually took…
Today has been rather tiring. I had to take a nap in the afternoon, but I have been out and about for Xavier’s hockey today. I started standing up and realized by the 3rd period that it was not going to work out if I stood up the whole time and then I sat down….
Yesterday I had my first full night of sleep in a while. I went to bed and slept right through and woke up at my regular time of 6am. I felt rested and for the most part much better. For the last week I have had to sleep flat on my back without moving much,…
Today was much better than yesterday and the day before. Over the course of the day while I worked I did not get too fatigued. Mel was not here to keep an eye on my eating, but she still texted me every now and then to make sure that I was eating. It seems now…
A while back I had written that having a bad day does not necessarily mean that everything is bad.

I have been taking less pain meds as the days have progressed and for the most part it is quite manageable unless I do things that activate my core. This morning I went with a drive with Mel, and it was painful. It is hard to say whether it is her driving or the streets,…
When I was in high school I started watching F1 racing for some reason and my favorite team at the time was McLaren. In 1990 they won the championship with Senna but I was just a casual fan then. I would watch it on occasion. In 1997 Adrian Newey one of the best car designers…
This is my fourth day home from the hospital and I am starting to feel better. I am still annoyed that there is so much that I still can not do. Everyone says that this is expected as I have had major surgery. That is true, but I do not have to like it. I…
