I appreciate it. I'm feeling so much better. Back to work on Thursday, so I can be on the other end of the health-care chain again.

Take it easy Aristus .

Chillin' out, and listening to some music on my library stereo.

I wasn't aware of this but I am glad to know you are past the surgery and on to the healing part!

Kidney stones are the worst!

I have to agree.

Take care and stay well!

I will.

(...My neck is getting stiff from all this chin holding-up...)

Be well.

But come Friday, back to a nice mixed drink to celebrate!

I hope you keep feeling better and better every day!

We love you, too!

Thanks for the update, can we ask you anything yet ?

Hope you are feeling 100% very soon.

I have every Wednesday off. So today is my last sick official sick day before starting work again on Thursday.

Do what they tell you, and take care of yourself! Wishing you all the best...

I'm looking forward to something as simple as getting some exercise again. Cardio and weightlifting.

I've been getting kinda fluffy lately...

Be nice to yourself!

Got myself a nice breakfast, watched some Star Wars TV while drinking my coffee, surfed the net a little, and just relaxing and drinking lots of water.

Take care, be gentle with yourself, and know a lot of good vibes are coming your way.

Surgery was 24 hours ago. I'm almost to 100%.

Thanks for the update.

And much appreciated...

You are on the road to recovery and wellness! Sending healing hugs.🤗💙

Thank you for the hugs!

Work can wait. Life does not.

That's work. Now for life: This weekend or next, Mrs. Aristus and I are looking forward to trying out a new restaurant in town. We have very broad-based palates. We enjoy a good burger from Jack-In-The-Box, but we also love fine dining, and this place seems to be it. Mrs. Aristus loves seafood, and living in the Pacific Northwest is great for people who do. I'll get her a nice dinner.

I'm out of paid time-off.

But I am feeling well enough to go back, so there's that.

Hope you heal quickly and are soon able to get back to all you love.

And San Antonio is maybe the most fascinating city in Texas, very Old World in parts of it, although my mother passed on a fear of driving in downtown SA. The roads being built on old cattle trails threw her for a loop.

I'm now in the Hill Country in the county just south of Austin.

Glad you're getting better..

When a Nana is checking in on you, you know you're going to get better.

Galliano and remain pain-free forevermore!

And no pain!

And sending hugs.

I love it when you call me "mon brave"...

I haven't felt this good in weeks!

Thank you.

Thank you!

Back to work on Thursday!

Wonderful news, take good care

I had to get a kidney stent once.

Had it in for about 3 weeks after a cystoscopy.

Gross hematuria with unknown cause.

After 3 weeks, I called my urologist and said GET THIS DAMN THING OUT OF ME!

So glad to read you are doing well!
