Well…I think I had a breakthrough night last night and got up this morning with very little pain…slept really well…yeah, that sounds weird to me, too…and the voltaren that my daughter got me for my shoulder pain worked all through the night and I was able to spend most of the night on my right side that I like to sleep on and didn’t wake up til 5:11 and out of bed at 6:11…progress….the pain is shrinking in size down to just the front of my abdomen now and damn, I feel pretty good…the incisions are still dry and healing and I think my intestines are going to be ready to give it a try today or tomorrow and that will feel good….with my daughter’s counsel, I have decided to give up on this place and start looking for another house after the trip to the UK…it’s just too much noise up here and it’s too much work to just live…will probably stay out here in Muskegon since housing is reasonable but will move farther west and get out of the city…she said she can afford to help me pay a higher payment and we’ve been looking at houses around 200 K in nicer neighborhoods…she’ll carry me until the interest rates come down and I can then afford the payment on my own…we had a nice talk last night and she told me that she wouldn’t have gotten where she is without my help paying a lot of her bills when she was in school in DC and letting her keep the 30K in profit on the sale of the condo I bought for her while she was out there…it was nice to be recognized but it’s just what a father is supposed to do and I told her that…I saw her potential and was going to do everything I could to allow her to be successful…pretty damn neat….not much to do today…it’s going to be another veg day on the couch watching F1 from Spa which is my favorite track they go to and the one I look forward to every year…and it starts here in about 15 minutes…the progress from Wed to today is just remarkable and I think I’m out of the woods…for pain, anyway…more later….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
