Sunday, December 6th to Saturday, December 12th

Note: I am on the mend from hernia surgery on Thursday, December 3rd. So I am on short term disability for the time being until my doctor OKs my return to work.

Sun: A quarter mile hobble, 30F, dusk, calm, no stops, a stretchy pain on my left side.

I took my bandage off and took a much needed shower. I got outside around 4:30PM with CJ just in case. I hobbled off to the mailbox to mail some letters, then to the corner of Ridge and Seneca and back. Man, walking kind of hurts!

Tue: Drove out during the night to Cleveland to spend time with CJ while she went through the stuff in her apartment. Exhausted, crashed when we got there. I didn't find out until the next day that the only thing I had brought with me was the clothes on my back, my computer, my briefcase, and my pillow! Luckily I did bring a parka! Everything else that I wanted to bring ... like underwear, sock, shirts, sweatshirt and toiletries are back in Rochester. Well ... I have been told that you always leave something behind when you travel!

Thu: Man, has it gotten colder here in Cleveland! It went from 52F yesterday to 18F with wind chills near 0F! Sometimes I am feeling pretty good, sometimes I feel pretty tired. I did manage a bit of a run for about 1/10 of a mile at a very slow pace ... just trying to see if everything still works!

Sat: It has warmed up in Cleveland today! Perfectly sunny, above freezing! We are trying to find someone to take care of CJ's dog so CJ can take me back to Rochester. I really need a shave! Each day post surgery is different. Most of the time I feel pretty good and then all of a sudden I get tired. CJ says that I push myself too hard and am not resting like I should.

Trying to keep active, Doug
