Sunday

It is a slow day here in Idaho. At least I am trying to slow down. After surgery on Friday I felt very good. I even walked about 10 blocks before settling down and watching tv in the Cardolay House. I watched the mariners lose another ball game. :( This is getting to be a too familiar occurance. I visited the ER later that night as things changed and I experienced some discomfort. Saturday morning I eat breakfest at the hospital cafeteria. I had a very good omlet, potatoes, toast and peaches. My appetite is not suffering! I didn't try any more walking but I did go to Walmart and the Black Sheep. That was probably too much walking. I was feeling the effects by late afternoon. I even took a pain pill! General discomfort and localized pain kept me from doing much. I did clean up my flower bed and plant 4 flats of marigold flowers. They should give a slash of color to my apartment front. If I remember I will add a photo later. Some cold compresses and another pain pill finished off the evening. I need to take it very easy today and tomorrow. I can't seem to just stop and relax. I am always thinking about things that I need to do. Donald called this morning and we had a good chat. Fishing dominated the conversation. Joel had gotten a big tom turkey with a 10 1/2 inch beard. I enjoy talking with him. I wish he was closer so that we could do more things together. I might have to get Greg Millikin to look for an apartment for me to rent this fall. That way I can spend the fall chasing that big whitetail buck. That reminds me that I need to put my application for a deer license me. I had better go and do that right now.
