Heh... I had the date wrong on yesterdays entry. I fixed it for the archives, though, and also a few spelling mistakes. Fergot to run the spell-checker.
It seems that I fergot a lot of things yesterday... I think that I was still under the effect of all that happy juice that I got on Friday. Seven hours worth of happy juice. It must've been nice, wish that I could remember more of it...
Anyway, yesterday was spent in a haze, but not quite as much as Friday, and I am now able to recognize that. Weird. I spent a good part of yesterday sleeping, too, then I went to bed at 22:00 last night and I feel pretty clearheaded today so far.
I'm beginning to think (as I am able to think) that the job that the radiologist did on me was pretty fantastic.
After he had lost the stent (Which is something like a nylon Chinese Handcuff) he was able to snare it with a snare wire, which is a very thin wire doubled up with a loop in the middle. This wire is inserted into the artery through a 14-inch catheter. Then he had to get the loop around the stent, which is only barely visible on the fluoroscopic screen, and in addition is bouncing all over the place with each heart-beat. Then he had to pull the whole damned thing out without dislodging it.
Pretty fan-fucking-tastic, if you ask me. I wish that I would've been there.
This is a day in which I'm planning on getting a lot of stuff done. I should be able to do the lifting and stuff required to get started moving the computer back upstairs.... this is the first stage of getting the kitchen done.
I have to move the computer upstairs so that I can get all of the stuff in the garage into the basement. Once I get the garage completely cleaned out, I can start on the floor and the walls.
But before I can move the computer upstairs, I've gotta move all of the beds and stuff out of the kids bedroom... so I've got to find a temporary place to put them.
This is going to be a mess for a while, I have a feeling.
Right now, we don't really have any definite plans drawn up, but we've decided on a coupla things... we've going to leave the dishwasher and stove in the present kitchen and have a passthrough to the new kitchen. And we've going to get one of those fancy downdraft cooktop-grills and have it in an island. We were out last night at Lowes and I was surprised at how much the price on those things has gone down.
I've also got to get the wiring/plumbing/heating/air-conditioning stuff figgered out too, and where I want to put the skylights.
We're supposed to get lotsa rain tomorrow and Tuesday, so I've gotta get the doors covered up. I need to get all of the hardware off of them, too, before I can use them.
I'm really looking forward to this, it's gonna be fun. And I'll have Tyler helping me, too! That should make it even more fun.
15:12...
So far, this day has not gone as I planned it; I shoulda known it wouldn't. I haven't gotten any work done at all... Karen and I went for a walk, about two miles, maybe less, and my legs were hurting, but I think that might just be because I'm out of shape and not an arterial supply problem. I'll have to try again tomorrow.
My legs feel just fine when I'm just sitting, though, or standing, so that's a definite improvement. My main problems right now are: 1) I have a hellacious headache, and 2) The Chiefs lost. #2 might be the cause of #1.
But I do have a distinct lack of ambition. Sure, I talk big, but I am a basically lazy person. I can blame the headache, I guess, yeah, that'll work. I'm not really lazy, I just don't feel good.
Ah, shit, I can't even convince myself.
I need a nap, that's what I need. Nice rainy day, just perfect for a little nappie.
I had no trouble at all convincing myself on that one...
Later...
