Ya, first hockey game I’ve watched in over 10 years and @heysi left me hanging.
No shave today, which is going to be a busy one. Nurse case manager at 10, OT at 11:30, phone follow up with surgical team at 1:30. Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it. Have a great day, Cadre!
Thank you, Chris. One visit done, two to go. So far, so good.
I chose to focus on the game at hand. I could hear you guys dinging at me on the chat. And I responded during the intermissions.
Gald to hear everything is progressing nicely for you Bruce.
Jeesh, it took less effort to make the bionic man!
There is a lot of work in this surgical recovery. I'm happy to participate, though it is sometimes tiring.
Thank you, Steve. Hoping for a repeat of game one tonight.
That would really make my monday go much nicer. GO KNIGHTS GO!!Thank you, Steve. Hoping for a repeat of game one tonight.
Go Penguins!!!
Go slow. That's what everyone tells me, and they are right. PT, OT, PAs, and RNs have all counseled me to go slow. I try, and it's hard, but I'm working on it. Whenever I stand, I pause to check my balance and to make sure my circulation is keeping pace with my movements. Once steady, I grab the cane and off I go. This is where I need to Go Slow. It takes a conscious effort for me to do so, because my instinct is to push myself because that's how you build strength, right? Not after heart surgery, no sir. First you rest your heart for 6 weeks or so for it to recover full function. Profound fatigue is normal.
So, I am trying to Go Slow. Whenever I repeat that advice to myself, a 1970 song by Shawn Phillips comes to mind. From his album Second Contribution, this song has always grabbed me. The album deserves a full listen, as songs flow from one to the next. That's why the first notes sound harsh to my ears, as YTube split the album into distinct tracks and missed on this one by leaving the tale end of the previous song. For some truly talented folk guitar work, listen carefully to the music underneath the vocals. It's a gentle song that builds momentum. Hope you enjoy.

It sounds like you're doing a great job doing a difficult job. Hang in there! Great song too! I've never heard of Mr. Phillips, but I'm going to check him out. It looks like he's got a whole lifetime of music to explore.Go slow. That's what everyone tells me, and they are right. PT, OT, PAs, and RNs have all counseled me to go slow.

He enjoyed some success in the '70s, but has pretty much played his music in relative obscurity. I find his guitar playing extraordinary. This was from his second album, Second Contribution.

If you can pay the bills, obscure musician sounds like a dream job to me! I was an obscure musician who couldn't pay the bills, which made things far less enjoyable!

Have a great day, Cadre.
Yes, the razor intimidated me at first, and I frequently found the razor harsh, especially on my upper lip. It's either mellowed over time, or I've gotten better at shaving. My money is on the razor mellowing.
Stanley Cup Finals game tonight!
