Addiction 2021.3

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ima try working day shift today, we'll see how long that lasts.
They tried to have us come in again last night and do a 4 inch tap at night. Apparently there was a lot of pushback.

Just got a chance to review my notes from my Neurosurgeon visit. I was pleasant again!


Awesome AND pleasant, a winning combination.

Yesterday was independence day. The power was out from 4 AM until 1 PM. The last major national holiday we had, back in March was the same scenario. Timing.

I might actually ride a bike today. I need to get my body back to the point where it remembers to be addicted. So ******g busy with other things these days. In a month or so tjough, I will be able to go out at any time of day, instead of just the morning. It frees things up significantly. I not only have to ride a bike in the morning, but also have to do any other outside work. The schedule gets crowded

Slow morning. And it's not even Saturday. On the subject of forums, I'm finding I'd rather be treated like an adult, and deal with some censorship than be treated like a child and no censorship. I've always bristled at being treated like a child. Maybe it's just me. Bike shops, ironically, are the places I'm most frequently treated thus, usually by 20 somethings.

The 1980s called and wants its dumbass, inappropriate, paternalistic, medical charting habits back. One wonders if he (and I'm willing to be its a "he") calls anyone "unpleasant" in their chart. I'd call a trainee out on that.

Of course, objectively true in your case.

I never saw notes from appointments until recently. Was the change simply because it became quick/inexpensive to send them?

You're prolly not awesome or pleasant. It's OK because it's not easy being Vol.

I'm not impressive in the upper body and my massive guads are shrinking due to lack of use.

I did walk 30 minutes on the treadmill last night.

I bet everyone is pleasant in his notes but of course in my case it's true.
"of course"
