Quick update. I'm entering the hardest part of the recovery. After reading Jettin Jims (JJ) saga and his plate removal I had an epiphany, he hit the nail on the head in referance to pain and what it represents. I stopped taking mine (pain meds). It is apparent to me that a mind clouded by drugs is less sharp then a mind filled with pain. I find it easier to have a routine and am far less moody. My biggest hurdle will be doing nothing for the next 2 1/2 weeks, it will be a new perspective for sure. I guess I will be doing reloading type stuff, polishing brass and sorting things out, not sure if I am ready for the press yet. I will be starting a walking routine, I already have my route selected as well as a goal. Tomorow is gonna be like heaven----I get to take a shower, hot, soothing water, and lots of soap, oh the joy that awaits me (my wife said I stink, if she had smelled BDF she wouldnt be so concerned).
A special thanks to JJ, great inspiration.
To the rest of our virtual family, thanks from the bottom of my heart.
PS, Doc said no sex for 3 weeks, gotta wait 2 weeks, 2 days, and 4 hours to see how effective the procedure was
