Nothing to see here, move along.

Just crawl out from under my rock to say hi.   I have nothing to report beside work, take multiple visits to the porcelain thrown to empty out my bowel, and going home to cooks and start cycle all over again. 

Stomach still have not recovered from multiple appendix flare ups last year and finally operation in December.  I stomach is nowhere near it is before the appendix problem in start up in July 29.  July 29 is also the last time I have a run that is more then 3 miles.   I did a 5k Turkey Trot in November and that was it for running.

You would think that without running to take up my time I would get more done.  Not the case.  My apartment is still a mess, and all my every day life paperwork (paying bills, filing, etc) are still woefully inadequate.  No running remind me why I need to run, I need an excuse to be out of the house and dealing with people in a non-work environment.  It also balance out my frustration with the depressing news on the internet.  I should stop obsessively checked the political websites, it always keep me in a angry mood.  I am spending to much money shopping on the internet without something else to take my restless energy.  

I have a doctor appointment tomorrow.  No getting my hope up I would get any encouraging news or good advise from my doctor.  I definitely have to look into getting a new doctor.  One of the item on my long list of thing to do while I don't have running to occupy my time but still don't get done.  

I been thinking of deleting this blog.  I am really bad at it.  The only reason I don't is because I don't want this to be 5th  blogs I deleted because I can't keep the discipline to spend one hour a day writing.

Measuring My Progress by Foot

2012 started with ambitious running and kayaking plan.  I will not dwell on that now.  All my plans running and kayaking come to an end on July 29 after my last long run.   I end up the the hospital for a couple of weeks for a rapture appendix.  The appendix was not removed.  There were to much infection in my stomach cavity to operate.  I was told to fully recover before getting it operate on.  On my primary doctor recommendation I went to a Appendix surgeon in my parents' neighborhood.  I wanted to have the operation as soon as possible but he want it done in 3 months. In that time the appendix/bowels flare up a couple of time, the day before my birthday it flare up, and I end up in the ER.  I waitied 6 hours outside ER but leave. Lucky I was able to obtain the same antibiotic I was using from my downstair neighbor. There were a couple of other minor flair up I did not get my operation the third appendix flare up in December which end up being a whole month stay in the hospital for removal of the appendix and about one feet of my intestine.   My one month at Beth Israel was hell.  The hospital was a mad house.   I was so relief to get out of there.  I am home know for almost one month but I am still not recover. My stomach is till not process food well.  I can never be confident after lunch that I don't need to be near the bathroom.
