I wouldn’t call my trip to the surgeon’s office today a complete setback or failure.  The one side had maybe 2cc (16cc the previous week) and the other side (the important side) was down to 13cc (20cc the previous week).  While it was not exactly what I was hoping for (0’s) it’s way better than it was.  A reduction in fluid is way better than the same or more!  I will stay down again this week and try not to do anything stupid. This will be quite the challenge as I have yet to go 2 whole weeks with out stupidity. I mean I barely got by 1 week!  But I can do this! Me, the couch and the Olympics.  Should keep me out of trouble!  I think I’m going to read a book next week.  That will keep me down and not all over the place for sure.

Being down all these weeks is starting to take it’s toll on me. I really need to find something constructive to do while I sit here not moving my arms.  Why can’t I move my arms you ask? Well. The open pocket that is collecting fluid needs to bind so there is no more pocket. The only way for that to bind is for me to not move it around. Obviously this pocket is on my chest under my armpit.  So I have to figure some projects to do.  Watching TV for this many hours a day really doesn’t work for me.  I mean there are days I don’t turn the TV on at all. We’ll besides the book I’ll have to think of something else. Wonder what language I can try to learn…Not a whole lot of diversity up here in Montana to test it out…Then there’s that genealogy thing. And I can start on some projects for the Holiday season.  I mean that’s going to be here before you know it!

One thing I have to do is stay off Facebook more.  My lord people. Everyone is in hypersensitive mode about air. Politics, we get it your candidate is better than someone else’s candidate…and this is why…One side tearing the other apart while the other side defends blindly.  Well have at that one.  Then of course if things don’t get reported quick enough everyone is all up in arms that one side or the other is the reason…they are rebelling or getting back at some group for some reason. Then there is the media who seem to have the distinct job of just stirring the pot and creating nothing but drama. Doesn’t matter if it’s reported correctly…people will believe and react! RANT! RANT! RANT!  Nothing can be said without someone looking for a reason to place blame to someone.  I don’t have time for that shit. Are some of these issues important to me? Of course they are. But I’m going to see what I can do about it vs. bitching and moaning and pointing fingers. EVERYONE SUCKS!!
