I have been working alot lately. I haven’t had time to do anything. I did go to the doctor reference my hemmorhoid surgery. He checked me and stated everything is healing as expect. It was just going to take alot of time.
I can’t stand work anymore. But, I drone on. I have bills to pay. I am still debating whether to retire early in about two years or stick out the seven years and five months I have to go. Some days I don’t think I can make it to the end of my shift.
I have finished a great book while working overtime a couple of days. The name of it was Freakomonics. It was quite interesting. I am now reading Glorious Appearing the 12th book in the Left Behind Series. Well, I am tired. Take care to all my family.

Well, it is official I am sick of doctors, taxes and the rich. You know I am also sick of people wanting you to do your job and give them the excellent service they think they should receive. But, when expect the same thing you get anything but excellent service.

I wish to congratulate my friend Christopher Soleau. He will be retiring on July 12, 2007. He is taking a better job and will be successful at it, I know. Congratulations Chris!

The website is updated! The website is updated, FINALLY!

I know it has been a few months. But, I finally did it. I have been great the last few days. My surgery I had on April 5, 2007 is finally paying off. I have been going to the bathroom with very little trouble finally. I hope I don’t have to have that surgery again.
Other than that I have been working alot. I think last month was my first full month of work in a very long time. This month will probably be the same, except I will be going in late one day. I have to get my passport and help my mom and dad get theirs.
I hope all my family and friends are doing fine. Drop my an E-mail.

Well, my brother tells me that Spiderman 3 is a great movie. I haven’t seen it yet and it looks like it might be a while before I do. I have been working alot lately. Plus I am not completely healed from surgery. It only bothers me now when I go to the restroom. Other than that nothing much else has been going on. I have been contemplating retiring early. I can retire after 25 years with full benefits. That is seven years and approximately 9 months away. I just don’t know how much more I can take. I am thinking about staying another 2 years. Then starting something new. I am not sure yet. Hope everyone is doing great and I know I will get to the website as soon as I get a full day off.

Well, today was the first day I saw the surgeon since my surgery. He advised everything was healing nicely and that it would just take time. He wants to see me back in two months. He stated by that time it should be completely healed. That was good news for me.

I know I haven’t updated the website and added my vacation pictures. Still working on downloading them from my cell phone. I also have been in a little pain. So, I may not get to it until next month.

The surgery may have been a success. However, after that first day when I was all drugged up on pain medications, I began to hurt and we won’t even talk about going to the bathroom. After using the bathroom, I have to sit in a tub full of warm water for about 10 minutes. I don’t regret having the surgery. But, I can tell this is going to be slow healing process. I am in pain but mostly after a bowel movement. I have been able to go today without any pain medication. I have been able to start sitting for a few minutes at a time.
The doctor doesn’t want me to go back to work until at least Thursday. Luckily, I have had great friends and co-workers who have donated time to me. I thank every one of them.

I am feeling somewhat better. The bleeding has gone way down. I have pain when first standing up and using the bathroom. The pain using the bathroom is harsh. I hope it will get better over the next couple of days.
I will call the doctor on Monday and set a followup appointment next week. I have been sleeping a lot and hopefully will lose some weight.
I did watch Eragon tonight and I give it 3 out of 4 stars. I am going to sleep. My Perocet is getting to me.

My surgery was a success. It went much better than I expected. I had two external hemmrhoids, a skin tag and an unknown growth removed from my rectal area. The unknown growth is being sent to the lab. However, the doctor did not seem to be too concerned. I am in almost no pain. Just a little sore. Although I have not been to the bathroom yet for a sit down. I probably will be in pain tomorrow after all the drugs in the operating room are removed from my body. But, I am so glad. I thought and so did the doctor at first it would be worse. I will be back to work next Friday.
