7-9-09 evening progress

The back pain and stiffness is biggest challenge today. The incision is beginning to itch a bit but nothing that will drive me crazy. Except for a bit at the top and bottom of the incision, the scabs have pretty much come off on their own.

I am being slapped with the realization how limited I am. I had to leave the garbage and recycle cans on the curb all day because they are over my weight limit. Rocket was in Dallas today so I had to wait for him to get them in. I am unable to use any of my guitars because they are all over my weight restriction. Maybe I can get a Martin Backpackerto use while on restricted weight. Being unable to drive is another biggie. I wanted to run a quick errand today, to see if Guitar Center hadthe Backpacker, but ended up just forgetting about it. I didn't want to bother Roni with it so I just blew it off. It wasn't very important anyway.

Oh well, my heart still sounds good. :)
