Going in for surgery this morning. If I don't post again, something went wrong. In which case, it's been real, mofos. Glad I met you guys. Peace out, and behave yourselves...
By now you should be under the knife if you're the first case on the schedule. You'll be back Tyler ;) BTW every man gets an erection under general and we pull the sheet to make sure your body is completely aligned (since you can't move) and to prep you. So think about all the nurses whose day you just made :) flying that freak flag proudly.

Yes, good luck and a speedy as possible recovery!!

I don't think I told you guys what happened to me yesterday. On my e-bike ride, cruising along on a back road about 20 mph, nice and quiet, a black bear jumps out in front of me, no more than 15' ahead...and probably more like 10'. I lock the brakes, it looks at me and does a quick 180 back into the woods, and I get the hell out of there. I go up a mile to the end of the road and turn around, and on the way back, there it is again in the middle of the road. Now I'm 100' away, so I get out my phone for as pic...But he was shy and scooted back into the woods. It was a cub, but mama must have been near.

First time ever seeing one alive around here. One got hit in front of my house a decade ago, so I knew they were here...They must be really sly!

Happy Thursday...I didn't sleep well, thinking about my real estate meeting this afternoon...Ugh!
How is your hand doing? I'm kinda surprised you can ride with it all stitched up. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly for you today.

I wondered about the catheter install procedure....I know I didn't like the catheter removal and made the nurse thoroughly explain how it works before she ripped it from my groin.

I've never seen a catheter placed for a knee. But who knows if they like Tyler's equipment enough they might make an exception :lol: realize I specialized in neurosurgery and didn't see a lot of knees and we placed catheters in everyone because we were neurosurgery ;D (actually no one with mere burr holes received a catheter either unless they were there because of a massive bleed or major trauma)

It's doing good. Still tender inside... 2 more days and the stitches come out.

Cool weather is here at least. We had another severe storm last night, but I missed most of the rain, just really severe wind...even blew my gas grill and metal picnic table out of the patio, and the chairs were long gone!

That base of your thumb may need a few more days or even another week, especially after you worked in that glove and disturbed them. You don't want them to dehisce (come apart) then they either butterfly them or at the base of your thumb should re-suture.

That's fast! Has it even been a week yet? I guess the bigger question, have you bought a step ladder yet?

So it begins again, at least it is forecast to be rather brief.

I should probably try to get the rest of the peaches off the tree today before it gets hot. I'm not going to be using a chair and table to climb on though. At least if I fall it will be on a lawn, should provide some cushioning. Mornin all, dog wants back inside.

Yes I was thinking the same. It's been 8 days today. You were right though, she did a better job on the smaller one. The one at the base of my thumb could have been a little tighter, but it was a big opening...That one looks like it might need a few more days.

haha...that's the good thing about an accident like this. I will have a reminder to be more careful for hopefully, the rest of my life!
My guess is he has many ladders in myriad sizes.
many, many, and I don't even like heights!

It was totally me being lazy. It was hot and I didn't feel like walking 50' to the garage and back, when a chair was right there.

I spent a chunk of the day rerouting and organizing wires and setting up timers to flip my plants tonight. I also fiddled with a bunch of blumats and setup a little clone station for potential mothers.

I felt on a roll, so I decided to swap out my smaller AC for the bigger one I put in my son's room. While I was doing so, I accidentally dropped the bigger one out of my second story bedroom window. It landed on a stone wall and and exploded into a bunch of pieces. So then I had to go to Lowes and get another one to make my arctic happy. Now I'm chillin in a nice cool house smoking hard and watching live Grateful Dead videos.
