Last Starfighter, TV
By Derek | August 25, 2019
A good Sunday.
Taking a break from Agents of Shield. Started watching Marvel’s Daredevil.
Helped some friends with a networking problem, their AT&T fiber modem was configured incorrectly.
Watched The Last Starfighter with the family right before bed.

TV, Knight Rider
By Derek | August 24, 2019
A good Saturday.
Watched more Agents of Shield, finished season 2, started season 3. I hope it gets a little less weird. I forgot that I was going to start watching Daredevil after season 2, so I guess that’ll have to wait now. Here’s the link I’ve been using for the MCU: https://www.inverse.com/article/32661-marvel-movies-order-mcu-timeline
Watched more Knight Rider with my youngest son.

TV, Computer
By Derek | August 23, 2019
A Good Friday.
Still watching Agents of Shield season 2.
Helped our family friend set up his new computer. For now, it’s in the game room, so that I can help with it.
I did manage to take a walk into my office today. It’s too cramped for my walker, but I went anyway, to grab an Ethernet cable for the new computer.

Knight Rider, iPad Air3
By Derek | August 22, 2019
A good Thursday.
Spent some time in the afternoon watching TV with my younger son. We’re still watching the original Knight Rider season 1.
More Agents of Shield season 2 after that. Lots going on this season, almost too much. Looking at the MCU timeline, it looks like I need to watch Daredevil season 1 after AoS#2 wraps up. It’ll be a good break.
My son’s new iPad came in today, and we got it all set up. It’s an Air3, and _so_ much faster than his old one. He’s very happy with it. Jill and I got him an Otterbox Defender case to go with it. His old one came out of a Defender, and still looks brand new.

Doing well, Minecraft
By Derek | August 21, 2019
A good Wednesday.
Had my post-op doctors appointment this morning. Doc says I’m doing well, keep on truckin’.
Started season 2 of Agents of Shield. This season feels almost like a different show. Still enjoying it.
This evening, played some Minecraft on Xbox360 with my youngest son and a friend.

Agents
By Derek | August 20, 2019
A good Tuesday. (20th)
Watched a bunch of TV. Still working on Agents of Shield. A lot of modern TV shows seem to only have 10-15 episodes per season, but Agents of Shield has 22 episodes in the first season. I finished the first season today.
Helped my friend who’s staying with us find a great gaming monitor. After reading a ton of reviews and learning about VSync vs. FreeSync vs. GSync, he went with the Asus ROG PG279Q.
Now time for bed.

Walker, Texas Stranger
By Derek | August 19, 2019
A good Monday.
Watched a couple of Harry Potter movies with my family, spent most of the rest of the day watching Agents of Shield, and a few Looney Tunes.
Trying to catch up on personal email — I’ve ignored it for days and days now, and I get a bunch of email daily.
Still walking with a walker, but I’m told that I’m moving well and quickly. Doesn’t really feel like it, but I’ll take it.

Tarantino and Hatch sliders
By Derek | August 18, 2019
Good day today. Watched several movies, still catching up on ‘70s Westerns. Also hung out with a couple of friends, and watched The Hateful Eight. Tarantino, nuff said.
Good food today, Jill spoiled me with hatch sliders with hatch bacon, hatch Monterey Jack, hatch guacamole on a hatch bun, with a side of hatch pork sausage stuffed mushrooms, and a chopped salad with homemade peach balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Amazing.
Another good friend stopped by later and was able to pick up a couple of sliders also.
Still doing my walking practice, still closing at least the stand ring on my Apple Watch.

New iPad ordered
By Derek | August 17, 2019
Pretty good day today.
Been walking more and more as I can, to work on getting mobile. It’s getting easier.
Got caught up on The Expanse (through Season 3) and started watching Agents of Shield.
Got my younger son’s new iPad ordered. There’s a sale on the Air 3s on B&H right now. It took him a bit to save up the money, but he finally got there. He’ll be so happy when we get his stuff all transferred over to it. He’s already sold his previous one!

Admitted to the E.R.
By Derek | August 16, 2019
Yesterday wasn’t a great day. I ended up with weakness in my left leg, and a fever late last night. Jill called my surgeon and he suggested I get into The ER. So we did. Spent most of the night in the ER, was admitted to the hospital again early this morning and got assigned to a room around 4am.
They put me on antibiotics and let me go to sleep. Once I woke up they worked on scheduling an MRI for me. Of course, the MRI machine here at the hospital is too small for my shoulders, so they had to get an ambulance to transport me downtown to a larger machine. That was successful, and the doc got to look at the images.
The MRI showed that I have some blood in and around the the surgery area. They don’t think it’s causing any real problems, but the doctor is ordering me a brace and antibiotics and they are sending me home.
Instead of doc seeing me for follow up in two weeks, he wants to see me next week.
He asked Jill to watch me closely and call doc if his temperature goes over 101.4.
Feeling much better today than yesterday.
