Welcome everybody, to the blog where I talk about the present.
In my situation, social media is bittersweet. Let me explain. Sweet because I can look at pictures of my kid growing up. Bitter because I can look at pictures of my kid growing up without me. (That’s a whole nother story.) The kid lives in Texas. So between the distance, me being in a hospital, covid, and other factors, it’s getting more and more difficult to see her. I haven’t seen the kid in almost 3 years. Crazy. I miss the kid a lot.
Some of the pictures of my kid are crazy. It’s like looking at a mini-me. She looks like she has quite the sense of humor. Gee, I wonder where she got that from.
On another note, my therapist came by the other day. You know, he’s got me walking on a walker again. I walked on the walker after my first operation in 2010. Man, it’s tough. I’ll tell ya. You know, I trained as a competitive runner for about 9 years. Just walking with a walker 15 feet is like doing one of the toughest workouts in track and field. Crazy. I never thought I’d be doing this.
On another nother note, you know what’s crazy? Having a garden when you’re in the condition I’m in. It’s kinda cool. You know I see double, so if I plant some flowers, I see double the amount. I get two for the price of one - ha ha ha. My roses look pretty kick-ass. Aw man, listen to me. I used to talk about girls. Now I talk about roses.
Overall though, it’s been an average week. I just put my head down and keep trying to get better. It’s happening, but it’s slow. So, if you’re out there, and you’re like me, Get ready. Get ready for the long haul.
Love, B. Nice
