Harry Potter and my health

Well, I have had an interesting couple of days. My incision from the surgery seems to be swelling a lot, and excessively draining. Long story short, infection. I am on antibiotics now, and hopefully they will do the job. Hell, with the way farmers are pumping antibiotics in chicken now days, maybe I should just eat a bunch of Franken-Chicken. Anyway, I will see the surgeon again on Monday, and see what he thinks. The wife was shocked when she saw it this evening, the incision that is. Her description of it was that it is “angry”, but it sure feels that way. Until yesterday, I had not had much discomfort really, but now it is flaring up, and I am not sure if it is due to being too active too quick, or bathing daily bothering it, or what.

We saw the new Harry Potter film tonight “The Goblet of Fire”, and it was o.k. In my opinion, it was nowhere near the book, as a matter of fact; this film demonstrated to me why books are better than film. Don’t get me wrong, I love film and read few books for entertainment, but wow did they leave a ton out. The effects were good, had some good humor, but they left enough out that I spent more time noticing what wasn’t there than I spent soaking up the splendor of the presentation. The movie is worth watching, at least once, but if you have read the books, you will know exactly what I am speaking of.

One last thing that I want to mention, something that makes me feel good. I had been away from the computer a lot the last few months with dealing with a bunch of personal stuff, and neglected keeping in touch with a few relationships I had built over the internet, and found that One was actively seeking me to see if I was well. That made me feel good that he was thinking about me, but bad that I had lost touch so immediately that he was worried. You know who you are, and I appreciate you. You’re package is in the mail tomorrow.

The pills are kicking in, so I am kicking back,

Till next time,

Brian
