<tuxi> How are you doing?
<EriK> I get a little better every day, I'm on a healthy amount of oxy, and get a very rude reminder of my 'actual' health if I miss it.
<tuxi> ouch
<tuxi> my granddaughter's father's mother broke her leg skiing and is getting friendly with oxy to deal with it
<EriK> not looking forward to the upcoming surgery, but am looking forward to the expected result.
<tuxi> when is the surgery scheduled?
<EriK> on a positive note, I've lost 20 lbs in a week.
<tuxi> not the way to lose it
<EriK> exact date is not set, as it's dependent upon my health and resource availability, but the present target is early summer
<tuxi> take care of yourself
<EriK> I'm trying.  I'm just thankful to have received the excellent care that I did, and to have the support system that I do.
<EriK> and I was lucky as hell that my parents just happened to be visiting last week
<tuxi> You know all of us here care, even though it is difficult to do much tangible
<EriK> I know.

<EriK> Short of moral support, there is not a lot that most people, even IRL, can do
<tuxi> I need to shut down for now.  I'll log out later and try sshfs again
<EriK> but the moral support is perhaps what is most important
<EriK> k
<EriK> enjoy
<EriK> and thank you
<EriK> :)
<tuxi> fair enough, EriK -- be nice to Daeley, she's got a lot on her hands
