Yesterday’s adventure was going to the surgeon. As a change of pace the trip there went smoothly. I had no long waits for the train or bus and both had clear sailing. That meant I arrived at the office early. There are two possible directions the nurse can come from to get me; they are […]

Last night I had the longest outing since my surgery; I went to the Mets – Nationals game. My body held up pretty well. I’m far from full strength but I can get by. As part of the Mets’ poor treatment of fans they now won’t allow backpacks at Citi Field. No explanation was given […]

Expedition to Hastings
I went to the Common Ground Coffeehouse last night to see Joshua Garcia, Lisa Bastoni, and Vincent Cross. This was my first expedition to hear music since my surgery. My energy is still limited. I did not have the energy to write yesterday so I have to catch up on Friday too. My internal experiences […]
I’m catching up on my life in Wise Madness. I got home from the hospital Monday evening and now it’s Thursday morning. So that’s what I have to cover today. Who can guess the first thing I did when I got home on Monday? Monday is important. I watched Game of Thrones. I didn’t want […]
Now for the story of my hospitalization. I really should have taken notes; the timeline in my head does not quite work out. I don’t plan on this being a play by play so that shouldn’t be that much of a problem. When I was back in my room I was hooked up all over […]
I’m back from the hospital and finally ready to write. One thing that has come right back to me is forgetting my brilliant idea of what to write. Somehow starting like this seems very me. My energy is low but my built-up demand is high for writing is high. These thoughts have to find a […]
Did you notice that I was hardly online yesterday and didn’t even blog? That’s because I was too sick to use my computer for very long. I had an old school Crohn’s attack. That’s a very different experience than I’ve had the last 20 years. This was not about an obstruction in my intestines, at […]
I woke up before seven this morning and did not go back to bed. I never do that. It might have something to do with the fact that I fell asleep watching TV around ten last night. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at midnight to remind me to go to […]

Gut Check
Yesterday’s agenda was medical, an appointment with my surgeon and then PT. I have the commute across the Bronx down pat, I got to the sign-in desk exactly on time. I am stupidly proud of my punctuality and commuting skills. I keep telling you that I’m an idiot, why won’t you listen? Good news from […]

License to Kill
My therapist’s office called this morning; she is sick and has to cancel. This means I’ve had no therapy four of five weeks. It might be five of six. I was sick once, this is her second time sick, she had a vacation day, and there was Good Friday. In addition my psychiatrist had to […]
