Well, that’s interesting….

I went to see my neurosugeon this afternoon since I’ve started having pain in my right leg again. He didn’t seem too concerned about it – saying that it was probably swelling due to physical therapy (funny, I see no swelling…) or arthritis. Well, I know I don’t have arthritis. He told me to take motrin [...]

The next Harry Potter film

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film is set to be released on November 21, 2008. Late last night (9pm Eastern) Warner Brothers made available the “teaser” trailer for the movie. Moviephone has the Harry Potter in 3 different formats.

I’m trying not to read all of the spoilers and view all of the pictures that have [...]

not again…

Last night I got very little sleep. Why? Because my right leg hurt – again! The pain concentrated around the ankle like it did before my back surgery. It also concentrated around my knee this time. So, after I went to physical therapy this morning, I called my surgeon and am going in to see him [...]

Progress on my Stiles family

Within the last couple of weeks, I have made contact with a couple of people in regards to my Stiles family connection.

My new Laptop….

The new Dell laptop was delivered today while I was at physical therapy. It’s one of the Studio 1535 models. I chose to have a purple cover – although it is almost black – not quite what I was expecting.

There was a good deal of proprietary software on it as I feared – even after being [...]

Here’s accurate info for ya….

Since my personal laptop suffered damage when I traveled to Houston, I decided last week to purchase a new laptop. After doing some research, I decided to go with a Dell mainly because they told me that there would be no additional software automatically installed that I did not specify in the order. My Sony laptop [...]

Physical Therapy

Yesterday I had my first PT session. On Tuesday I had the eval – so yesterday was my first official day. They have started me with a couple of different exercises than I had back in January. One involves laying on my back with a ball between my bent knees and squeezing it – then releasing [...]

Museum of Natural Science

Today, I decided to visit the Museum of Natural Science in Houston. They had an exhibit about Lucy – the archaeological find of 1974. That was interesting, although no pictures were permitted. Nor could you even put a finger on the case. Geesh…

Part of the museum is a butterfly conservatory. THAT was cool. Ok, it wasn’t [...]
