WetLeather Motorcycle Rider Information

Today I felt as close to "normal" as I've been since the surgery. If my bathroom scale is to be believed I am losing weight. Today it said "283.5".

Attended a work conference call this morning which almost felt normal. I'm in transition from my previous gig as an internal consultant at IBM to a more traditional third level support role. Lots of new stuff to pick up. Still digging through the email backlog from my absence last week.

I am also starting to get sick of the liquid diet thing. I'm looking forward to some normal food next week when I transition from liquids only to pureed foods (including cottage cheese, etc.).

Thank God for the political stage. It's great for taking one's mind off a steady stream of soup, jello, and protein shakes.

The scars are kind of setting up. I have five incisions and they were all glued shut. So far they have gone through the shower a bunch of times with no apparent problem. When the hair grows back maybe they won't be too visible. I'll need new riding gear by spring. I just don't know what size yet. BTW does getting a ring around your stomach count as Body Modification? I'm thinking of having the port location tatooed for future reference. :-)
