19:00
Not much happened today.
No thoughts of Angiosarcoma.
I got up about 10:00. We went to a pharmacy and bought a long bandage to wrap my stump.
Hmm...That is about it. That is all the exciting stuff we did today.
Oh, I did another 1 km walk/crutch. I hope to do more long walks before the next chemo.
Oh, and our friends from Texas called. It was good to get caught up on all the animal illnesses, all the ranch going on's, and the new plans in the making.
The Green Lantern is the movie on TV tonight.
We browsed the internet for office chairs. Maybe we will go chair shopping tomorrow. I want a chair with wider wheels for going on carpet, and a wider base for the wheels so it won't tip over as easy, and a longer seat bottom so it will support my stump.
One of my fantasy football players hurt his leg, so I had to swap guys around.
I have had little pain today. Probably the least since the amputation. I hope that trend continues.
Maddie thinks I should tell about a slightly embarrassing moment. After finishing my duties on the toilet, I stood up, balanced on one leg, and tried to pull up my underwear. This is about a zillion times harder to do, than to say.
I managed to pull them up, and stuck my stump through a hole, and then struggled to get the waist part up where it belongs. I finally got it after a big struggle, but half my junk was out one side, and the other half was out the other side, and the part of the underwear that was supposed to support every thing was a tiny strip that was supporting nothing. I did what any male would do in my position, and I yelled for Maddie. She came quickly, but was absolutely worthless as she couldn't stop laughing.
My stump was through the waistband, and my waist was crammed into a leg hole. This meant that the thin waist band was trying to support all the parts that were now, not being supported at all.
Maddie soon had me correctly attired, and all my parts where they should be. She must not have been taught that it is rude to laugh at cripples. :-)
I am trying to get popcorn made for the movie.

Wish I could say that I had done the same thing, but No I really haven't. A day with a good laugh is a special day. Thank you for sharing. Don
