Alright everybody - -
What would you prefer,
a captivatingly beautiful piano performance by me.....
or
an update on the anguish and misery that I'm enduring in rehab.
The votes are in! It's unanimous!
You want anguish and misery.
Well, I'm not in the mood for verbosity or details. I'll be brief. Sort of.
The big storm arrived on time with snow on Friday and Saturday. Not much snow here in town. A lot more way out in the boonies where I live.
I'm still on a massive amount of meds. I think the extremely strong antibiotic will be removed this week. The onslaught of lasix continues - - which makes me pee every half hour.
It's so joyful to keep filling urinals and calling the nurses to empty them.
Yesterday two nurses shaved me (my face/beard). No one has ever shaved me in my entire life. Weird.
When I was in Cookeville I was on a very strict diet. They hardly let me eat anything. Now I'm on a regular diet with "low" sodium. Yesterday I had bacon, a cheese omelette, and regular coffee (no decaf) for breakfast. I think they're trying to kill me.
I'm really not in the mood to get into complicated details. It's all setbacks, anguish, massive unpleasantness.
Everyone is helpful here, despite my misery.
My vital signs and bloodwork are good. The edema has lessened significantly and is under control.
My biggest fear is that I'll never walk again.
To hell with this.
Like it or not, let's get to the music.
I made this video a few years ago (?). I thought it's appropriate for our winter weather.
Of course it's "Troika" ("November" from "The Seasons") by Tchaikovsky.
