Friday afternoon / evening

OK, so where do I stand this Friday. Well the only real general discomfort today has been soreness around the cut area. Although the area has become a little larger, it hasn't become too uncomfortable. The area seems to bother me more when I stretch the skin around that area. Wait - we need Abby to figure this one out: Dear Abby, . . .

For example, laying on my back is uncomfortable while laying on my side is okay. Probably because the skin is loose in that area. Yesterday's side sleeping/waking effect in the hands occurred only for a short period this morning, maybe 20 minutes or so an not near as bad as yesterday.

Other, new, side effects for today. Oh boy! Well I had about a 45 minute stint this morning where my heart beat was just pounding. Beat was not irregular or speedy, just every beat seemed to rattle my entire upper chest. Glad that eventually went away. The other oddity today - my unaided vision seems worse than normal. I hope this does not last long. We shall see.

I have managed to pull four hours of work today. This has went pretty well. I've tried to sit most of the time, but the general nature of my work is more physical work rather than desk work. So keeping my ass planted has been a challenge. Overall though, I've been feeling better as the day has progressed. I think moving around a bit today has helped. And another thing - amazing as it may be - I'm not all too tired right now. Is this because I've got two day's of rest behind me, or because of post surgery relief? mmmmmmmm.

Well that's it for now. Time to head home and rest. It's now overcast and very windy outside. I left my coat in the car earlier, so hopefully the wind doesn't have a chill to it. See Ya.
