band lessons, the book

March 26, 2009 – 2:10 pm

I’ve written out a kind of long story of my lap-band experiences at 3 months out from surgery. Well, it’s only 4 pages but still. I’ve published it as a pdf which opens fine in IE and FireFox but for some reason hates Google Chrome, my browser of choice. If I can figure out why, [...]

we seem to be back

March 25, 2009 – 10:25 am

Well, the database server seems to be functioning again, at least for now. I’ve noticed it was down or had extremely slow load times for the past week or so. Prior to that it was an intermittent issue. I’m assured that “Now the server performance is under [the system administrators] strict control, so the issue [...]

doing it right

March 17, 2009 – 8:17 pm

I went in for my three month check up at my surgeon’s office this afternoon. First, I used my nifty new pink walker instead of the wheelchair. The new walker has a seat which gives me options I don’t have with the old walker or my cane. I’m working hard in rehab to improve my [...]

weekend fluff blogging

March 14, 2009 – 7:29 pm

Stasia has recently enjoyed lounging on the back of my glider rocker while watching the birds at her new bird feeder. She seems to enjoy nearly all our local critters. The only ones she fusses and cusses at are the neighbor’s cats.

ghosts in my head

March 13, 2009 – 10:21 am

While I have a few minutes…. This has been a really busy week in a lot of ways. It’s not just the running back and forth to the doctors and other appointments, nor even that mom was back in the hospital Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, or even trying to get the bottom of the house [...]

five point seven

March 10, 2009 – 8:28 pm

Anyone mind if I go back retroactively and say my goal is to get my A1c under 6.0 this year? I’m pretty sure that was my goal at my last visit with Dr. Great and Powerful but I just didn’t say it out loud. I really like Dr. Great and Powerful Endo – even if [...]

catching my breath

March 8, 2009 – 3:32 pm

It has been a really chaotic feeling week and this week coming up is going to be far, far more chaotic. Thus, I haven’t blogged the way I intended to blog. I started rehab last Wednesday and I will be going every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Often, it’s hard to pry myself out of the [...]

buddha in glory

March 6, 2009 – 12:37 am

A little poetry break today. Buddha in Glory Center of all centers, core of cores, almond self-enclosed, and growing sweet– all this universe, to the furthest stars all beyond them, is your flesh, your fruit. Now you feel how nothing clings to you; your vast shell reaches into endless space, and there the rich, thick [...]

outside my window – at night

March 4, 2009 – 10:42 am

For the last year or so, it’s been an “issue” around here whether we turn on the patio light and watch the critters in the evening. I don’t know why, exactly, it became an issue but perhaps it’s because the light doesn’t turn itself off properly anymore. I miss seeing them and just look what [...]

band lessons

March 3, 2009 – 12:14 am

I learned another band lesson late yesterday? Early today? Ummm… recently. Monday morning I needed to take a couple vicodin at 4 AM. I don’t like to take them on a totally empty stomach so I grabbed a piece of cheese and a piece of sliced turkey. A quick, high protein snack. I eat it [...]
