Recovery Month II

It has been a trip no doubt. Just another new experience for me. In the morning I get all energetic and I get ready to do stuff, then reality sets in, and the day becomes a bit more difficult to move around. I think today it's the first day that I could actually walk all the way down the street where I live and walk back up. I live on a steep Street so I walk up an incline. But I made it. Of course, I have two large saphenous veins that I know missing. So if I don't walk much my feet will swell up with water. Just goes to show me how badly we need our body parts eh? 

No doubt about how to sign our body to function perfectly in our three-dimensional world. I'm still getting chest pains but it's not from the heart it's from the incisions and where the titanium clips are located at. I guess it's a matter of getting used to them. I also have to get used to the scars on my chest. It feels like I've been abducted by aliens and they put their mark on me like a tattoo. And it's a good thing that I am going to the English congregation. Because I'm pretty sure that somebody from the Spanish sees the mark on my chest then I'll be sitting in front of a JC trying to explain that it's not a tattoo is scarring from open heart surgery :-) You guys know how it goes. 

I got one more month to go. And I also am attending cardiopulmonary rehab twice a week. I cannot do all the machines because of the neurological problem that I have and a brain disorder with has extended where I have a gait imbalance (I guess I won't be able to ski again). I am still using the special implants in my shoes to avoid falling flat on my face. I still want to go back to work. But I am unable to pick up more than 25 lb. Hopefully eventually with the rehab, I get some weight training as well. I need it for work. 

In the meantime, I keep myself busy by reading, and I get on the treadmill a few times. I have been attending the Cherry Hill Congregation meeting in person. But I have to sit in the back room close to the bathroom because of the Lasix. It seems that my body carries more water than a camel. From the neurological side. My left hand started to shake so I tried practicing the guitar. However, my right hand my pinky, and my ringer go numb but we shall see with the neurologist. 

Overall I really can't complain cuz I know some people out there got it worse than me. Anyway, I will return back to my books now. 

Have a great day.

I had my Math test today...Epilepsy had other plans.

Today, I had my algebraic concept final test and I failed. Of course, my body sabotaged my efforts. This seems to be the norm with everything I do. That is when "everything I do" is extremely important and "the everything I do" maybe a life changer. Passing a math course is a life changer. So let me describe how it went today. Keep this note in mind I studied the entire weekend and the more I study things got more complicated As I wrote many times before, my neurologist and gastroenterologist have repeatedly told me that when my brain acts up my gut will too. When I take any other academic tests I usually don't get sick. I have taken all my meds and then I take life day by day. As I mentioned in previous posts on the internet maybe Facebook or G Plus, I have a few abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities affect my behavior and my thought processes. It is not that bad but I perceive and understand things a little bit differently and that is why I may ...

"Movie Review: Dune Part 1 & 2 🎬

  Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga.

Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe. Accompanied by his son, Paul, and Lady Jessica, a member of the secretive Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Duke Leto embarks on a perilous mission to Arrakis. However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad...

Elon Musk Neuralink

Hi, my name is Tony I am a... Well you know. Actually Tony is short for Antonio. I thought if you were reading this you should know, not that anybody really cares. Anyhow, I am a ferocious reader of science-fiction. I like to read. For many years I could remember every single book that I've read. Unfortunately, I cannot do so anymore. However, if I read a science article sometimes I can associate it with a science fiction book that I have read and I like to talk about it. For example, here is the link to an article that I have recently read on the internet: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/27/15077864/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-computer-interface-ai-cyborgs Recently I have posted a blog on a book that I read called "Psychohistorical Crisis." without getting into too many details one aspect of the book has to do with the characters. They carry a device called a familiar, or a "fam" for short. I can't recall if it was a mechanical or an organic device. Th...
