Moving Slow After Surgery…
Apologies for the delayed update. I went in for hernia surgery a couple of weeks ago and that wasn't fun! Thankfully I'm recovered a LOT so far. I honestly cannot recall the last time I felt this good and energized in my life as I do today! I had the hernia for a good ten years and finally did something about it. If feeling this good was a result of the surgery, then heck yeah it was worth it!
Since my last update, I got the shower walled in with the Schluter Systems foam boards and shower pan. Since this stuff is essentially Styrofoam, I'm hoping it absorbs any shocks from the road and keeps the tile happy.
After flying home from DC, I had one day to rest before surgery. All I remember is laying down on the OR table and chuckling with the nurse that the last time I was laying down looking up at those OR lights was 45 years ago. Probably in a different wing. I was 4 and had my appendix removed.
Oh, I forgot to mention, but I have the refrigerator and a new toilet on standby ready for their turn to go in.
I also bought a new (to me) toy. Kawasaki Versys-x 300. I wanted an on/off road capable motorcycle that was small and light enough to ride in the bed of my truck without having the tailgate down or intrude too bad on the payload capacity of my truck. She fits with the tailgate up and only weighs only 385lbs. Also, even though it's a small bike, it's a blast to ride!
My niece's boyfriend really stepped up to the plate and offered to polish the airstream for me while I was recovering! Had to order a couple of more wheels and bars so he can finish. Those should arrive tomorrow.
Doctor said no lifting anything over 25lbs for a month or so after surgery. We're two weeks in and I'm champing at the bit to get out there and work. There aren't a whole lot of lightweight things to do at the moment. I do have some new window seals to install. Maybe I'll do that.
Oh, I'm waiting to hear back from Colin Hyde to place the order for my axles. We had been sorting out the details before my surgery, then everything was put on hold. Hopefully I can get those ordered this week.
