i have a bit of use of my right arm being able to offer limited support to my non dominant left arm. i don’t remember ever learning to write left hand which i am now learning. heck, i am still figuring out how to grip a pen. today is the end of the first week, 5 more to go.
last week what appeared to be an official pop up instructing me to download newest version of maybe flashdrive. i started the downloading which turned out i invited a virus into my computer bypassing the anti virus software. i learned this from the same computer tech who previously hosed my history. my computer spent the weekend in the shop. virus wiped clean.
i have been reading. i bought an ipod docking station w/ speakers for the house. i will learn about acquiring new music then load it into the ipod.
thanks to all your well wishes. many of us are empathetic about long recovery. i thought of an apt peer group: RAP recovering active people, a support group a person could call before they fell off the recovery plan. the person receiving the call would coach that person to get back on the recovery couch. hi, my name is craig and i am addicted to strenuous physical activity.
my last haircut was back in april, i am working on the scruffy look. i heard a song today from back in the 60s, the chorus lines were; get a haircut and a decent job. i lived that chorus in real time.personal reflection on my looks is still rebellion. i no longer need to cut my hair to get any kind of job. today i succumbed to a neatening up cut.
friend les is riding in moab this week.
thurs is follow up dr visit to remove the stitches closing 4 holes. i am not sleeping well or long because of the pain for which i quit taking the pain pills. friend arch told me how the pain abatement pills are important to my recovery. not getting at least 4 hrs of uninterrupted sleep will cause behavior changes. i am back on the percoset. i need sleep.
