Recovery from Heart Surgery Month III

On my third month since my Cabg surgery. I can't deny that things are getting better. But recovery is taking longer than I expected.  I still go to cardiopulmonary rehab twice a week. A few days ago I had to go to Virtua pulmonary. I thought I had a doctor's visit but it was spirometry tests

What has helped me mentally is I have been allowed to return to work even though I'm not 100%. I had a lot of projects that I want to do in the house but physically I just wasn't able to do so, and that led to a lot of frustration. By going back to work I can keep my mind busy and be a little bit more productive. I'm still not allowed to travel the sternum just takes a while to heal. 

Spiritually, I'm going to no place. Was trying to get regular in-presence meetings it has been difficult. The Kingdom Hall that I decided to go to is farther away. And my biggest problem is that I cannot walk very well. So I attend the meetings via Zoom. I also try to kill time by reading but the truth is I don't have to stamina and the willpower to read as I used to. I think the medication has a lot to do with this but I am not a doctor so I'm not sure. 

The only other issue that I have left to solve it's my dog Odin. 6 months ago we had to put Boe down because of lymphoma. It seems now that Odin has some liver problems. We hope it's not cancer. If it is cancer I would have no choice but to put him down I just can not afford to put the dog under chemotherapy. Also, he is an old dog as well. I would risk it if he was seven or eight years old but he is 12 years old now so he can even die of a natural death no matter what we do. 


There you have it, see you all in month 4.

"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. While paying homage to the source material, these films chart their own course, offering a visually stunning and thematically resonant exploration of power, prophecy, and the human condition. 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...

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 ...

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...
