When in LA, Nink and I visited the Getty and browsed the gift shop briefly before leaving... I bought a poster that was on sale for $5 because I really liked the painting... It's named "Young Girl Defending...they call it. It's 50% off for the month of October so if we pay by tomorrow, it'll be $1,127. Which we will be doing, hehe. I think it's really cool... we'll see how well it works! Goodbye, waddle

...roughly 2-3 weeks, so it also can be moreso on the back-burner. So, I got an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. I am a mixture of excited and really scared. I need to get pumped about getting surgery, otherwise I'm not going to really want to. I hope that he tells me that there have been great advances in knee surgery techniques since when I last got evaluated. I have a feeling that they are...

...hurt a bit. So, my left ovary's gone. It turned out I had endometrosis of IV level. Now I took a drug which puts me under menopause for 3 months in order to "dry" the remaining adhesions. And, then, I'll probably have to undergo another surgery. Blah! Not very happy. Feeling a bit  "drained out". That's why I'm @ home instead of being in Paris-Bercy watching my beloved one a bit of tennis...

So I haven't been training since my double-whammy surgery. Just great. Partly because I'm still sorta recovering, but partly because I am so lazy. Was at Ortigas yesterday for a meeting. After that, I holed myself up in the Starbucks at Tektite, contemplating whether to visit ULTRA or not. When I decided to go, Mikey picked me up so that we could go to the track together. I did not bring any clothes...

Today I had surgery to get my wisdom tooth out. I'm hurting, and have a swollen mouth, but it's out. And they let me keep it. Bids? E-tootha All I want is junk food. Chocolate, cookies, ice cream, salty things, cakes, frosting. Yep, I want 'em all. Too bad I can only eat mushy food for a day or so. (oh wait! Cake!) I met r_oxymoron  yesterday for the first time. We went out to dinner and...

Good day all, This is Tippler for a change in unayok's place. Just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know the surgery went well and all that jazz. Last I saw unayok was resting as well as can be expected . And that's all for current events. I'm sure he will give more info when he is able.

Good morning, I think.... the days have kinda merged some how... I'm back at work - for a little bit today and tomorrow... Off on Friday. Almost done with the pain pills, now the withdrawl kicks in... All it was considered a success and my fallopian tubes are still in-tact and in my body. Still in an incredible amount of neck, shoulder and bellybutton pain I'm sleepy, catching up is hard to do

I need to call him. I should do it tomorrow too. I've been holding off for way too long now, and really the guy can only help me. Undoubtedly, the short call will lead to a much longer and exhausting predicament...resolute in calling tomorrow. Or I might not ever get the help I need. I'm afraid the stains I've been adding to this tired body and soul for 23 years won't come out with just a little Resolve and water

...time to relax on the weekend. I dont get home until 930, and then I have to work on homework. Things arent going well for squeedge at work, and so I'm super worried and my anxiety is flaring. I am constantly afraid, and its starting to have effects on me physically. I'm having surgery on my wrist on November 14th. Dad is out of the hospital from his hernia surgery. that seemed to go okay. Help.

...recovery time, and a good success rate compared to the other two techniques.  Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation is a new method where a small sample of your cartilage is taken out in an initial surgery, grown in a lab, and implanted over the defect in a second surgery.  They open up your whole knee to put the new cells back in and there is a ~2 year recovery time.  Apparently the cartilage is...
