Well, the resting and healing continue. This day, the third full day out of the hospital, has been one of rest and visiting friends here in the Cities. They were glad to see me, as I was glad to see them, and they were pleased that I am okay. Until that time, this evening, I rested here in the building, took care of a couple of things I needed to do for a bit later, and took a nap this afternoon. That was a nice way to spend the day, since I am not fully healed just yet, and am battling the urge to do things I cannot do just now. That urge is not so strong that I have done anything foolish, such as travel faster than I can legitimately do so, but I wish I could, for example, ride my bike. That would be a real breakthrough, in that I could get around like I could before the surgery, which would help me even more. But I realize that if I did that, I would risk splitting myself open, and then could go nowhere, not even to Colorado, which I want to do next month. So I think only of going slowly, and getting my strength built back up, such that I can do these things I want to do. Discipline is a necessary part of this recovery process, and we must all follow out doctors' instructions in that regard. I have been instructed not to ride my bike, and not ride I shall do. Perhaps it will be a month or more before I can ride again, I do not know, but if so, then so be it. I will abide the restriction, knowing that that period will help me heal properly for my eventual riding.

I also plan to take it easy on my trip, no matter how long it takes to do things. I must do so, in that relaxation is the norm in situations such as this. The people around me must realize that, and work with me. I will work with them, as well, of course, but there must be a happy medium where we can meet, and get the optimum results for everyone. That must be what we work toward, and I will do my part. I hope others will do theirs.

Well, I hope I am helping you, gentle reader, and I thank you, as always, for your attentions. I hope you are there, and will benefit from this writing. Until next time.
