I got to watch the Super Bowl!! It was a good game one of the better ones I've watched over the years and the half time show was a bit meh as usual, it was Usher who I can only really think of one of his songs and even when it was on I didn't really know any of them and to me similar dancing throughout. Not saying he isn't good, it's just very not my thing.
It did remind of of the days I worked in the IMAX in the Odyssey, when I was in school and uni doing my homeworks in the projection booth and heading to Precious and the Beach Club after work and a gravy half and half for dinner. Good times, different times and a lifetime ago.
Anyway, back to the modern world a lot less happens these days and a lot more sitting around and lot more aches and pains. I have kept it incredibly low key, intentionally, as I just wanted to stick my head in the sand and disappear and really didn’t want to interact with people, nothing to do with other people as such, I just wanted to be in my own head and do my own thing.
I was upset with how the whole process had gone on with the surgery and being around other people wouldn’t feel authentic and I would be acting how I would feel others would see fit rather than how I would want to be and if I wanted to be annoyed or sad I could just be that without other people being there to feel like they should do something and so I would hide how I’m actually feeling.
Not that I did get annoyed or sad but I had that option there if I wanted to be. In the end it was actually a nice weekend and most of the time since then, well maybe not nice but not bad. A lot of tv and films and have been gaming as well, playing Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 have 3 to still start but been grinding achievements and items in each one before going onto the next and on Wednesday the original Tomb Raider Remastered Trilogy came out which I’ve made a start on too.
The first time I left the house was on the Thursday when I needed to get supplies in to survive, so while I was out, I decided to go to the cinema, the afternoons are normally pretty quiet but the schools were off and it was busier than normal. A lot of kids in seeing some animated show but I was going to see Madame Web (awful film, don’t bother) which was a bit busier than normal but not too bad. As I sit at the front there wasn’t may around me and they were all at the back. Went to the shop on the way home and that was me content for another while.
More sport, more tv, more films, more gaming. It’s a nice time of the year to get out for a crisp walk but that’s not an option for me as getting up to go to the loo is hard enough and that’s only a few meters away. The aches have been pretty bad, and its really noticeable week on week how it’s deteriorating, I’m still trying my basic exercises but all I can hope for is that it doesn’t make things worse, it certainly doesn’t make things any better.
On Sunday I was feeling pretty good and I thought I would try the exercise bike for a short bit, when I first went up I wasn’t quite ready, the pain killers hadn’t quite taken effect and I was struggling getting on to it so I decided to wait, An hour later I went again and had a bit more success, I was at least able to get onto it and just a slow movement for fifteen minutes or so.
That evening I decided to go to the cinema again to see The Iron Claw, wasn’t expecting much but was a decent show, wouldn’t rush to see it again though as I now know the story of the Von Erics. During the show and others previously for a few months now, I’ve found it really hard to get comfortable and am really, really sore at times and it’s just unbearable and have to shuffle in my seat loads to try and get a position I’m comfortable in.
I have been enjoying going to the cinema but it’s really tainted it the last few months and I think I may cancel it for the end of this month, hopefully another reason for this will be getting the surgery done too and I’ll not be able to go anyway. I will go back again once everything has settled again.
And so to today, the surgeons secretary is supposed to be back again today and she is supposed to phone me today… the surgeon said about the surgery being the 26th which is next Monday and have to go the weekday before to give bloods so that would be this Friday. That is what I’ve been told, but until it actually happens I won’t believe a word of it. So I’m just doing what I do.
I do have another call from cardiology later which I suspect will actually happen because they have actually kept to time with every appointment they’ve made with me so there’s no reason to doubt them. I think it’s just a check up to make sure everything is as it should be.
Anyway there goes for now, just waiting on a call…
