Journal Entry for July 23, 2008 Mood
Wednesday, July 23, 2008

I missed rehab yesterday as I had to go to the wound clinic.  It seems the wound on my butt is no longer infected but is almost two inches deep:  good Lord!  This has been a nuisance for a year and a half.  The doctor packed the wound with some kind of stringy material.  A nurse will come to my appartment every day to repack it and change the dressing: what a bloody drag.  I don't know how long this will go on.  I don't like the idea of someone messing with my butt everyday, who does?  At least it will be a she and not a he.  Hmmm, if she is not hitched and not too young, maybe I have a golden opertunity here.  Hey, this  might not be so bad after all.  I wonder if Irish butts turn her on?  Oh stop it Garrett, stay in the moment, don't drift off to the future, you're not a dirty old man...who the hell said that?   I'm told that if this butt packing routine doesn't work, I will need surgery.  It better work; I've had enough surgeries for one life, thank you very much.

 

At any rate, it will be nice not to bleed through my clothing and on to my powerchair every day, as has been the case for over a year now, a real pain in the butt.

 

Yesterday was cloudy, slightly rainy, and just plain dismal.  I didn't go out and about.  I think it will be nice later today, in which case, the locals are in grave danger.  I feel energy building within me, crying to explode in mischief.

 

Hey, How about our dear friend Jannis and her hearing aids.  I ought to sing to her, "My Wild Irish Rose."  On second thought,  I best not.  If she heard my singing voice, she might never wear hearing aids again. 

 

I remain in high spirits and at peace, sucking in every moment of the day as if it were my last. 

 

Thanks for all your love a and support and make this a good day, you can if you choose to.
