I am a father. I have been a father for 4 days and 30 minutes. It is already the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. Two things about this you’ll possibly notice right away: I’m not overly forthcoming on details Let me cover these straightaway. Our son is the most precious thing in [...] A lot has happened in the last week. I gave up a LOT of foods. I added a few back. I tried some things out. I upset my stomach. My hands healed significantly. The diet continues, but it is less restrictive. I have allowed wheat, for instance. And I’ve had a couple of sweets. Right now, I’m [...] Quinoa and Vegetable Pilaf I’m not a morning person, so let’s not put any emphasis on how tired I was or wasn’t feeling when I woke up. I was, for the most part, feeling pretty good. I certainly slept well. Even after that gum yesterday and all the teeth brushing, my teeth still [...] The diet began in earnest yesterday. After a delicious meal of dim sum to celebrate a friend’s birthday (lots of foods my diet strictly excludes!), my wife made a phenomenal dinner. Dinner Last Night Green Smoothie (spinach, celery, pineapple, and pineapple mint) [16 oz] Quinoa and black beans [1.5-2.5 cups?] Both were delicious. In case it’s news to you, mint [...] There is no good name for this. We’re talking about food habits, and it’s a touchy subject for everyone, so any name we apply is immediately tainted by association. Diet? Cleanse? Whatever. Reasons My fat goes where it’s most likely to kill me, so I don’t want any fat Preamble I love drum and bass. And one of the artists that I’ve recently discovered and am absolutely nuts for is Sub Focus. He has a self-titled album that was released last year. I finally purchased it. Well, I purchased and downloaded the MP3s of it. Since it’s a UK release, the actual CD is over $30 [...] Friday Super awesome. Left work, met wife and friends at The Med for happy hour. Podcamp Boulder planning session next. It was excellent. numerous people that I deeply respect and completely adore were in attendance, including Jeremy Tanner himself (who planned the whole thing). I threw two ideas up on the board to consider for sessions: Workflow [...] This morning, I got up at 7:30am when my alarm went off. It was amazing. I decided to take advantage of the early start, ignored everything I wanted to waste time on, and was out the door by 8 on my way to Boulder Reservoir, where my wife and I run sometimes. There is of course [...] Have you ever had to pay a hospital or doctor’s bill? If so, you may have been dumbfounded by how bloody much it cost. This is understandable. Have you ever heard a worker in the healthcare field bitch about HMOs? If so, you may have been dumbfounded by how bloody cheap they are. [...] Yesterday, for the first time in years, I experienced the following new smells: Orchid (the first flower I’ve smelled!) Bummer on that [...] I have been going CRAZY since last Thursday. For the last two Thursdays, I’ve been going to see my ENT for post-operation visits. He rips a bunch of nasty crud out of my nose, talks to me about it, and then sends me on my way feeling a LOT better and breathing a lot [...] This is a big deal. It’s the first time I’ve sneezed since the sinus surgery. All the packing is out, and I’m not allowed to sniffle or blow my nose. There are clots all over the place in my sinuses, and if I upset one of them, I could hemmorhage and bleed all [...] I was discharged from the hospital today around 9am. The surgery went well, and my otolaryngologist/surgeon removed all my polyps and found one sinus packed with fluid. He was completely successful at removing everything, and spoke with Kia afterwards. She was so good to me through the whole thing. So I’m home and happy [...] So I went to the Otolaryngologyst, Dr Dougherty, and he says that I still need the surgery, because the antibiotics alone won’t do it. I was in a fair amount of doubt, because my PCP had told me, essentially, that if the polyps go away, they’re as gone as if they were never there. [...] It’s just after 10. I have an appointment with Dr. Dougherty at 11. I’m going to talk to him about the virtues of Antibiotics vs. Surgery. When I took the 10 doses of Levaquin, I got one sample and a prescription for 9 more. The 9 pills cost me a $40 copay, with a [...] I went to see my primary care physician today for a pre-op checkup. That is to say they’re checking me out to make sure I’m healthy enough for my surgery on Monday, April 6. For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you what the surgery is called, but the surgeon (also my otolaryngologist, or ear/nose/throat [...] Last Monday, I came down with a really nasty cough. It was affecting me at work, but I got some food before class, and felt better. I didn’t get through even half of class before I felt awful again, and had called Kia for a ride home (we were down to one car at [...] |
