I suck at updating

Well, I suck at updating this thing, but it's really not my fault.  If you notice, the last post was sometime at the end of September.. Well.. With October comes postseason baseball and that pretty much consumes my life right now.

For a some quick updates:

I'm back to work, but it feels different there.  Being reunited with my work-spouse Mike has been great.  We have a lot of douching to catch up on.. And we're trying.

I started back playing basketball with co-workers.  When I told the hematologist, she specifically forbade it, but I'm doing it anyway.  Playing basketball (as HORRENDOUS as I am), makes me feel healthy, even if for an hour and even if the aftermath is having to be helped into the house because of the pain.  I need to exercise and doing stuff I like is REALLY the only way I'm going to do it.

I have today off from work.  I have a bunch of vacation days that I have to use before the end of the year, so I'm taking random days off.  Today, I have a fun day of romping around NYC with my love, PK all day.  YAY!  These Peek a Poop days we have are really awesome.

Living at my mom's house has been great in the sense that I'm literally in the middle of everything.  Being around everyone that I’ve grown up with has been absolutely refreshing.  Of course, as everyone predicted, being away from Anita has proven to be difficult.  I think that being in PA, even if we didn’t see each other during the, we knew we could… But now, we actually have to PLAN to see each other and that puts a strain on things.  Plus, Anita has become little miss busy and has SO much on her plate right now, even our phone time has been severely cut.

That’s basically it.  On the illness front, my blood clot is being well managed.  I’ve actually been promoted from seeing the doctor every few days, to once a week, to now every two weeks.  With any luck, in a few months, the clot will be dissolved and I can go on to live a semi-normal life for the first time in my life.  Wow.  Just typing that is amazing.  A normal life.

 

 

Anyway.. until next time, folks..
