Life is good! I’m still in the hospital for rehab, but I’m receiving care and support from friends, church, and family. I have a great job and awesome co-workers and managers. Today is an off day, so no therapy sessions (my quads were beat up bad yesterday from the intensive sessions).
I’m just feeling happy and giddy chilling, watching videos, surfing the forums… what more could I ask for? 🙂
My wife has been visiting daily, and yesterday, she chided(?) me. Here’s a photo of me taken two days before I had my ER visit that led to surgery. I was still under lots of pain. I had to ask my son to drive me around town that day. We went to church to attend the youth group fundraiser for lunch and then headed to a retro computing society meeting in hopes of meeting Joe Decuir and then followed that up with a visit to this nice man to get the 5200 controllers for free.
How can you smile so big under all that pain is basically what she asked me 😂 She answered her own question saying to the effect that when you love something that much, it can’t be suppressed. Yeah, I’ve been fascinated with video games ever since I first laid my eyes on it as a kid back in the early 80s.
I hope everyone is doing as well as I am minus the hospital stuff.

Joie de vivre is what you've got. It's infectious. I hope you never lose it!
I'm glad you are on the mend and following doctor's orders. -
Merci, mon ami. I like your diagnosis but much better than Cauda Equina (Syndrome) which was my ER diagnosis 😂
Yes, I do have the joy, and I know where it is coming from. I was telling my wife yesterday that the joy and peace and strength that Scripture and songs promised are no longer a future state but my present state. It’s a very different peace I feel now compared to two years ago while going through heart surgery recovery. Back then, I was struggling to get a hold of it, but now, it’s already in hand and infusing me and I feel like I did nothing. You let go of something to make room for something else or something like that 🙂
