It has not been an exciting two days for me. Yesterday I had asked for a substitute for Adoration, since they said I shouldn't drive for 24 hours, but then they said, "Yeah, you can drive." I worked from home (but remember nothing about it, so here's hoping I didn't royally screw something up), and by the end of the day I was like, "Nah, I'm not making it to Adoration." They prescribed nothing for me post-surgery, no antibiotics and no fancy painkillers, so I've just been alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen, and that only works for so long. (Especially the Tylenol.) I did manage to lead Night Prayer. Monday night I was weirdly hoarse, besides being exhausted, so I skipped Night Prayer. Did they have to intubate me? They didn't say anything about that, but today I looked at my discharge instructions online and noticed something that I hadn't seen on the paper version: they said to sleep sitting up or on my side because if I slept on my back, I could DIE. Travalon says he's pretty sure I slept on my side Monday night, and clearly I didn't die, so it's all good, but yikes!
Today I felt very lightheaded and worked from home. I did get a lot done at work, and it's probably higher quality than whatever I did yesterday. There were two things going on tonight, a Halfway to St. Paddy's Day Hooley and a ukulele strum, but I didn't do either one. Travalon and I did take a very gentle walk on Governor's Island, and I took another walk outside later, but boy is it hot out! Tomorrow should be better (judging by when I had the same surgery eight years ago, but then again I was eight years younger and more resilient), so I fully plan to be on campus.
I am alarmed by how all the comedians who mock Dear Leader are getting canceled, first my guy Colbert and now Jimmy Kimmel. (As someone said, "Silly Jimmy, you should have just said we should kill all the homeless and then you wouldn't have been fired," like that idiot at FAUX News who somehow still has a job.) Silencing dissenting voices is right from the fascist playbook, and then people who support Dear Leader are all like, "I never see you anymore. Why don't you come over? I have lawn darts." Yes, and you also support this regime. Someday these people will be on the wrong side of history, but it sucks living through it. Now I know how the White Rose people felt. Or as this German guy posted, "Please explain this to me - a Republican shot another Republican, and now all the Republicans want to kill the Democrats?" They were just looking for some excuse anyway. Don't sit here and "other" me and say all my kind are possessed by Satan and should all be in jail and then wonder why I don't want to play lawn darts with you. Get real. I thought their side was the one that supposedly loved free speech and hated cancel culture, but we can see what a lie that was!
