Much too long a time has past...

Hello Blogger's!

It has been way, WAY too long since I last posted a comment on my blog... usually this is the kiss of death for a blogger. If you don't write something new and write often... people will loose interest and soon stop reading altogether. So, that being said... I will promise to write something every week from now on (and more often if I can find the time).

It has been almost 12 weeks now since my surgery... wow. Time goes by fast when you're having fun. Only three months ago I was hugging this little red pillow in the shape of a heart that they give OHS patients. It was my best buddy at the time. You couldn't move, cough, sneeze, get out of bed or pass gas without clinging to that red pillow for fear of popping open your chest - like that was really going to happen....not! But, I did have a death grip on that pillow many a time.

Now, I am busy getting back into the swing of things. I taught my first week of classes and weekend crash course. I found that I was up to the task. But, very tired and weak at the end of the day. So, I need to pay attention to the doctor when he says: "take it slow. You're going to be tired for awhile and that's normal."

Being tired is my chief complaint. I am chronically tired all of the time. But, maybe in the long haul this too will pass as a distant memory. It's funny, for a while there I couldn't sleep more than a couple of hours without waking up ready to take on the world. Now, I sometimes can't stay up for more than a couple of hours without falling into a deep sleep. Where's the balance?

Anyway, I feel pretty good. I do have some residual chest pain around the incision area and understand that his is all part of the healing process. It's going to take awhile to get back to my optimum self.

Can I blog that long?
