Stuff Is Tired

The great thing is I can do stuff. I'm not limited by machines or hoses, but stuff is tired. I went to see Angels and Demons the other day and it wiped me out that night. Today I played the piano while my friend Rick played the guitar. It was fun. We did it for a couple of hours but soon after I was almost napping.

I am getting a glimpse at being a geriatric. They can't help but be tired at 3pm then again at 6pm. Also, I understand getting up in the middle of the night with creaking bones making my way to the restroom and then taking a pill. Kristie got a guy that was barley an adult then Poof  she gets someone who is into early bird specials (wait I was into that before).

I do appreciate that I have the ability to be active this soon after the surgery but, the activity has some consequences. I follow all the rules sent from the Doctors but every now and then I feel my sternum move against itself. The bone will shift ever-so slightly, it feels natural but totally odd at the same time. I know the breastbone is "wired" together but it does take three weeks for it to fuse. Until then I guess I just go with the flow. I never knowingly broke a bone (I probably have) so being aware of the healing is also being aware of the healing ache. There is a warm ache at the point where the bones meet, again odd but feels natural.

As far as the ol' ticker, it's going fine. No pain or fluttering. It feel normal, even though this "normal" feeling is new to me. I am lucky to have people coming over, calling and e-mailing. Your contact means a great deal. Oh, as far as Angels and Demons, better then the Da Vinci Code. It is missing many sub-stories from the novel but as a film holds up better. Less was more in this case. Where Da Vinci Code dragged this one moved, besides this story, as opposed to Da Vinci, was better suited for a film. I'd say 3 of 4.
