John,
Yes I do have a lot of catching up to do. Let's see 450 email messages...hmmm
let me see here...hmmm it says half are from you! ;)p LOL Well not really but
man you are the busiest beaver on the Extrop list. How are you doing? I was
getting around to sending you an individual message about being back but things
happened and you beat me to it.
I am feeling well and there isn't much pain. I was sooo tired before the
surgery. I have my days and nights turned around so the last time I slept was
the morning till the afternoon of Wednesday. That night I was awake as usual and
unable t get to sleep anyway and trying to get messages out and read. Then
Thursday I couldn't sleep during the day because I had to go to the hospital for
pre-op check in and testing. Back home again I still couldn't sleep and had last
minute messages to go out. I stayed awake for the surgery and only had a spinal
block and local anesthesia. After it was done around 11 am I went to my room and
began to eat (hadn't eaten since 12 am the night before--the rules--got only two
bites of a sandwich) when they whisked me away to radiation therapy to irradiate
the knee to discourage re-growth of the errant bone material. Back to the room I
finally eat and wouldn't you know it I got my second, hmmm maybe third by now,
wind! Later at 8 pm there was a movie with Extropian leanings I tried to watch
but by then I was finally too tired to put up with it's lame plot and backyard
acting.
I wish there was a way to winnow some of the chaff from the list mailings. Such
as not in the area of extropianism or those less than 10 word responses an
especially short stinging quips. How do you filter that stuff...you can't. Oh
well....450 emails yet to go through. :(
Hey how are you doing lately? Have you heard from your Aussie friend? Are the
new meds working? Maybe so based on the level of your activity. You know as I
read your posts I even more so find it difficult to convince myself of your
disability in learning. Wish there was a way for you to earn a living
commentating. Well back to the grind. ;)
Regards,
James
