Alright, I think that my cleaning process is done. I hope that it is. I thought it was earlier, but no, there were still more surprises to be had. Don't laugh or snicker; the same process is used for many procedures. At least some of you will be, or have been at this point. I understand, and do and will empathize.

I haven't felt as hungry today. It was somewhat surprising, because daytime TV is a lot of cooking shows. Of course, my appetite was most likely suppressed by spending most of the day in the bathroom. Oh, daytime TV will destroy brain cells. If the programming doesn't get you, the commercials will.

CBRE, especially my manager Eric came through with short term disability coverage for me. CB carries the coverage at no cost to me, but I don't know that without Eric it would have come together in time. I almost certainly would not have known about it until later. My co-workers are carrying my workload, which is definitely worth mentioning since they just did it last month while I was on vacation. I'd better get some doughnuts up there.

Taxi (our dog) is staying with Lee (my 2nd shift co-worker) again. It's nice to have a place that you know your dog is not only looked after, but has a family and other dogs to interact with. Taxi just becomes part of the family and they all treat her as a member.

I want to take just a couple of sentences to express my gratitude to my family, friends, co-workers and neighbors (most of you fall into multiple categories). It means so much to have the support, prayers and well wishes. Knowing that things can be and will be taken care of puts me at ease. Thank you all.

The doctor said that my recovery would be like being hit by a car. Now, not having been hit by a car before, I have to imagine. I hope it's one of those Smart cars and not a '73 Impala. Are we talking a glancing blow or a full on trying to run me over shot? I'm kinda wishing he hadn't told me that...

Let's do this.
