Dani, I’m just lazy

I haven’t been skipping posting , because I’m busy. I’ve just been really lazy. Since I last posted I was recovering well from surgery, back at work full time and then I got in a car accident. A nice ********* slammed in to my car while I was stopped at a red light. Then he left the scene. Luckily, I got his license plate number.

Since that accident I’ve been working from home and doing lots of physio. I guess it is only appropriate that I put up a physio photo. This panorama was taken on my iPhone using the app Pano… yes, I know I’m a techno nerd.

It has been a while since I last updated this site.

A lot has happened since I last wrote here. I have finished physio and have gone back to work 5 days a week.

The other interesting thing about this post is that I’m writing it on my iPhone.

Technology is amazing

Physio is well on it’s way. The best part is that I get to ride the stationary bike. While it is isn’t as exciting as riding through the woods, over logs, and through rock gardens, it is a start.

Upgrade Nightmare

On Thursday I decided it was time to upgrade Wordpress to 2.5.

Due to one technical issue with a plugin that stopped my pages from being generated and one failure on my host side that had to be fixed, it has taken almost 2 days to get everything in to a happy upgraded state.

If you see any problems, please let me know.

So much time

Since, I am off work while I try to get mobile again I seem to have a lot of time on my hands. The activities that I can do are limited though (I can’t play rock band).

My current technique is to watch series in their completeness.

Last week I watched all 6 Star Wars movies.

From Friday to Tuesday I watched all 4 seasons of The Office (US version).

What does the rest of this week hold? Only time will tell.

I can feel my toes

My surgery last week went pretty well. My bak was a bit more of a mess than expected, but the surgeon was able to salvage some of the disk. I can now feel my toes and the pain in my leg is slowly improving.

The cut in my back was fairly small (only a couple of inches) and is healing nicely.

The recovery period continues. I have received lots of delicious chocolates and other goodies. I am also having fun entertaining myself with movies, tv shows, coloring (yup, the crayons are back), and an etch a sketch.

Investment Tips

May 1

Assuming my pre-op goes well I’ll be having the surgery on May 1.

Watch out chairs… I’ll be back soon.

Back fix

There is finally a bit of news on the back front.

I am going to have a discectomy (I think that’s what it is called). I don’t have a date yet, but once I do I’ll let everyone know.

A photo of my floor office. Of course, I have to share it with other hard workers.
