The Healing Power Of Speeder

I feel more wonky than last surgery.
I have a slope and a swagger that gives me the illusion of still being under the anesthetists magic spell.
Perhaps some residual goo still in my system, but I gotta figure that the invasiveness of the cochlear implant surgery is the cause of my malaise today.

It was good to spend the first night post surgery under the watchful eyes of a nurse. Every two hours I was checked and new bag of antibiotic placed on my IV drip. But the old (expired I believe) and cold roast beef sandwich at 7 am for breakfast, was my sign to get of Dodge. I needed home to get better. Janet bailed me out at 8 am yesterday morning.

My own bed last night was like heaven with fresh sheets!

Home is where TLC lives. Home is where the magic of healing ramps up. Under the watchful eyes and tender touch of Janet. The demanding annoying yip of Speeder. And having Dan check on me at regular intervals, I thrive and magically mend.

I need my rest, my read, my "qwerty".
I require to heal: my Nettles tea, green smoothies, cranberry juice, and pure black cherry juice.
Water and lots of it to flush out the toxins that may be around from surgery.
Epsom salts bath to draw out any evil that may be lurking from chemicals that knocked me into a land that allowed high speed drills to invade my cranium, totally unbeknownst to me.

I do feel like a new guy and it is just after noon here. I have been spoiled with fresh omelette for breakfast, and fresh salmon for lunch. I feel new.

I feel like my eleven newly planted electrodes are like horses at the starting gate. Revving and snorting in the dark confines of my melon, just raring to fire new sound on my right side.
I am giddy in anticipation.

I must be feeling better because I caught myself last night perfecting a recipe that Janet and I have been working on. I had it all laid out in my head. It was a killer appetizer that I have been working on. I had the goat cheese, the fresh diced tomatoes, the basil, virgin olive oil with garlic, the fresh ground pepper, all mixed nice, poured into a portabello mushroom cap, then grilled.
It came to Janet that I was missing some key elements that would kick it over the top. Lemon zest and a light dusting of fresh Parmesan before grilling was missing.
I must be back to being close to well!
I am a "serial griller".

I have yet to get a "go" date for my right side activation. Typically it is 4 weeks from implant, so I will work with end of August in mind.

Rest is the equalizer.
Great food mixed with love of the family is the magic that will heal me in days.
Speeder is just a nuisance.

Albeit a cute one.

Warmly, and under a Schnoodle's watchful eye,

David
