Two months ago, Mary hauled me into the ER. They examined me and decided I needed to get my blood thickened before an operation would be considered, so with two pounds of sawdust and a bag of cotton ingested, I was ready for the horizontal.
On October seventh, the doctor removed 24″ of small intestines and put me on a path to get to my desired 185 pounds, yeah!! Not the best way to lose 25 pounds of ugly fat, but at least I didn’t have to exercise.
Today was Monday, which meant it was time to get exercised, poked, prodded, and otherwise made fun of. Yes, it was the gym. I worked hard and even got a compliment from my trainer! She said, “Thanks for not making me blow my soft drink through my nose when I saw you on the leg stretcher machine!”
After the gym workout, we went home, and Mary fixed a delightful breakfast. A few minutes later, we were off again. Mary had an appointment with the massage therapist. I waited in the car for about two hours and got many pages of Clive Cussler’s latest book.
Arriving home, we both emptied the garage refrigerator so it could thaw. The bottom of the fridge wasn’t cooling, so after some research, I decided to turn the unit off for a couple of days to see if the fans/evaporator were blocked by ice.
