my golf outing yesterday sucked as well. Only managed 5 holes. Walked in when I caught up to a couple that was learning how to play. That’s when I decided with the relentless wind and temps in the forties that was enough!!!

Grew up across the NY border from Greenwich CT in Rye Brook/Port Chester. Now I'm just outside White Plains

I was whisked away before I could come back. Demerol huh? I'll see.

Anyway, they keep asking my pain level. So here's my rough scale.
1 and 2 are more discomfort than pain.
3 and 4 is uncomfortable
5 is painful but manageable
6 is bad but still manageable
7 I have to focus on breathing
8 I start to hold back audible breaths
9 I'm in severe pain and can't control myself
10 when the pain meds wear off

Last night, for the first time since this, i was at a 4. Currently, a 6 typing this out. Just got back from the first session of therapy.

Therapy seems silly, bend here, lift this ball, simple things. It's incredible how difficult and painful it was. But I'm treating it like my job, doing what I'm told, pushing myself, and not complaining.

Good morning BT!

Soggy. Until you get to the mountains and then it's white. But it's supposed to be 70 and sunny this weekend.

Chris - hopefully they never let your meds get to a point where you're above a 4. Stay on the staff about that.

wifey complaining about sun light coming thru the east facing kitchen window. I measured 48"w x 36" h. Welp, as usual she didn't listen well and bought a 36w x 48h mini blind. I took back to walmart and went looking for 48 x 36. Nope. Went to Lowes....nope. Came home and she argued with me about dimensions. I drew a picture and she went on line to look....kept coming back telling me I didn't know width from height. She finally gave up. I looked a little and I can't seem to find the right size blinds. So I'll do some lurking on the internet and see what I can come up with. Oh yeah, she started complaining about how builders screwed up with window size!!!
I'll find something!!

Home Depot will cut blinds to size Denny. We have a few in our house. We ordered some from a fancy company for a lot more $$ and they really aren't much better than the Home Depot ones. The main difference is that they are white on the outside but off white inside to match our trim paint.
