It's 1:05 Sunday 05/24/09. I had back surgery for the second time on 05-08-09. I still have the staples in place and I can't wait until they get removed. They are starting to itch. I am also leaking like crazy at the staple sites. I have to sleep on a towel just in case and was wearing pads on the front of my underwear. . Tonight I was almost asleep when I noticed a damp spot on the towel. Then I noticed the huge damp spot on my underwear. I have now resorted to taping the maxipads to my belly.
It's hard to believe that it's already been more than two weeks. I am not able to do much because I can only sit for 1/2 hr at a time, but it's not that bad. I get to watch lots of movies. I have also had a lot of time to think. I think maybe that when I grow up, I'd like to be a philosopher. The one thing I don't get though, is how to get someone to pay you for it. Is there a market for philosophers?
I'd also like to work on painting, and creating other objects d'art from things disassembled and reassembled anew. Glass blowing would be wonderful to learn. I finished taking apart a scanner today. It felt great. From it I have gained a knowledge of what's inside (surprisingly little) and I've also gained some materials for the previously mentioned objects. I've got 3 large piece of glass, a couple of circuit boards, three strips of mirror, a motor and other assorted junk.
I have also decided I will try to write something every day. Maybe someday some body may even read these.
