Being away from home so long made my normal home routine feel a little weird. Cleaning up loose ends of the first wave of my project meant I didn't get much workout time and still sat a long time. Since I'm the project leader, I'm pulling rank and making the next wave come to me for a couple months. I should be able to go back to some better habits.

Yay Iowa and Michigan State!!! The Big 10 got a big shakeup yesterday and Michigan is right back in it. The next three week are critical with two really big challenges at Wisconsin and Ohio State.

I did not have one during surgery, but required it twice afterward, due to aesthesia affecting my bladder. I will tell you the truth. It burned like fire going in, but did not hurt at all coming out. The second time was worse than the first because I knew what was coming. Even so, it was better than the pressure of a completely full bladder. They pulled 500 ml out of me the first time. I thought I was going to explode before they got around to doing the deed.

Once the anesthetic wore off and things started working again, I had a bit of a burning sensation for the next few times peeing, but it was less and less, and disappeared quickly.

Ok guys, I will post this here and see if I get any response, if not will head over to the regular forum. All set for my surgery on Wed. not nervous at all, just sort of feeling weird about getting a catheter. Never had one before, I know they put it in when you are out but how bad is it when they pull that thing out of your pecker?

That was tough...... I think my weight this morning is a little higher than reality, but that's what the scale said so be it. This past month was a lesson on how to not live life. Workdays of 12-14 hours, all sitting down. Finishing the month with 13 straight workdays. Eating out every meal for a month (some good choices made and some not so good choices made), too little sleep and except for the past two weeks, no exercise. I did get my act together on exercise the last two weeks though, and I'm happy about that. Also, I did pretty well with both water and vitamins. Phase 1 of the project is now done, I have to do it two more times.

I came home Friday after being gone nearly the entire month. Fortunately my travel will really slow down now until January, then I dive right back into the soup. It gives me two months to get my weight back in check.

It was exciting watching the future of the UoM football program yesterday at Rutgers. Peters did a heck of a job. That Penn State-Ohio State game was an instant classic.

Have a great week.
