Continuing on with recovery

So things have been pretty uneventful around here. I am trying to lay low and not do too much. One thing I have been pretty hard on myself about is lifting things. I really don't want to hurt or ruin anything so I am trying really hard not to do too much of that stuff. Other than that my cuts are healing up pretty well. Some spots you really can't tell how bad things were. Where they removed my spleen they put staples in and they are really starting to hurt and I think that is because I am moving around more than before. Wednesday I go in to see Dr. Maddaus who wants to take the stitches and staples out then do a basic check up. I am feeling good though so I am not too worried about anything.
Last week I was in Janesville and decided to leave and head back up to Minneapolis on Tuesday. I made the rounds to a few places and showed off some scars. I stopped into CB&K in Janesville which is where my dad works and the company I used to work for. Then I went up to Madison before heading back and stopped into Gustave Larson to see people and chit chat a bit. It is always good to see old faces. I stopped in Eau Claire for a rest and hung out with my friend Andy for an hour and so here I am in Minneapolis. I stopped in to Larson up here on Wednesday and caught up with the store and the home office. Then next few months are going to be interesting. I don't really know where I am going to be living, my health is still a question mark, and I have some things planned coming up that will be a ton of fun. This past weekend I hung out over at Jake Hookom's house for the most part. He has done some major work on his house since I was last over there. I am very impressed by how nice it was. I also got a couple of nice meals too. His wife Aubrey can cook. I told her I would be stopping by more often. hahaha. Then the eye rolls came on. I also spent a bit of time hanging out with my bloomington crew just sitting around and shooting the breeze. Otherwise, I haven't done much besides sit around and watch movies. Oh I almost forgot. I went to the gym and biked for an hour on an intense level and I felt fine. Now that I lost all of this weight I have to keep it off somehow. hahaha. Things seem to be on the up and up and I am loving it.
There is also a benefit to help out my medical bills in West Allis (Milwaukee) on this coming Saturday. There will be Kareoke and cheap drinks. It is being held at Jimmy B's Trails End on Lincoln and 72nd. I will be there this time and there are a ton of raffle prizes that we donated. I would totally snap up raffle tickets for it if I could. Trust me some sweet stuff.
