I'm baaaaack

Day three! Last time I was about three hours into day three before I started remembering thugs, this time it was day two at midnight. So I've been here the whole time aside from the first day. Which sucks because this is boring. Although it's good because everyone keeps telling me I am way ahead of the curve. 

Except for one thing, and will shock the people at out Hood River gaming retreat, because I've had trouble making the peepee. Plus being woken up every hour last night to see if I could make the peepee. 

So I'm a bit sleepy, which is requiring even more back spacing in this blog than usual.so I'll keep it short.

My biggest accomplishment yesterday was walking a very long way from the CICU to my room, which is 671. I have no idea why I'm telling you the room number, because I'm about a 90% chance of being asleep. Hilariously, everyone was telling me that this was a difficult walk and I'd want to sit in the wheelchair in a few minutes, my nurse last night told me he'd never seen someone recovering as quickly as I am, so clearly I am a man to be reckoned with!

Whoops, nap time. I will write a bit more later today, but really all that's happening is I'm off to an excellent start. I'm supposed to go for four walks today for physical therapy, so bring it bitches.

Glad to be back, btw. Thank you so much for all the good thoughts and prayers. First thing I thought when I woke up was that I was still alive, and with a difficult surgery that wasn't a given. Looks like that will be it for OHS in the future, so the Doug Diet will stayin effect.

See you soon!

Doug
