On a lighter note, I JUST found out that my FAVORITE comic book creation team, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon (the geniuses behind the Preacher series) took over The Punisher! (Thanks to Portal Dave for informing me of this and giving me more reading material for the down time.)

I’m doing a tiny bit better every day. So, there’s progress. That’s the important thing I guess. On the other hand, it’s really fucking slow progress. :|

Well, yesterday was the doctor. Got my stitches out… ugh I hate that process. Unpleasant. The good news is there’s no return trip to the hospital planned for the near future. The bad news is the doctor said I should expect a couple more weeks of pain. Feh. Oh well, it will give me some time to catch up on my sitting around. :P

Well, time for another news update. This isn’t a cheery one, so I suggest you tune elsewhere if you’re looking for a happy puppies-and-kittens type catchup. Howerver, I need to put it here because of the number of people I need to update.

First, off, if you don’t know about my lungs. Read this.

On the night of July 17th I had a lung collapse that was rather bad… and the hole didn’t seem to close. On the 18th I went to the ER and ended up getting admitted to the hospital. On the 22nd, I had the surgery again since the hole hadn’t closed. The surgery went well and I got out on the 25th. I’ve been recovering since then.

There’s been a minor setback, however. I’ve had another small collapse. Yeah, I haven’t even had the stitches out from the surgery yet. Peachy. The pain is bearable, so now I wait and see if the hole closes. Wish me luck.
