Much better today

I feel a whole ton better this afternoon. I won't beat around the bush here: until you have had some sort of intestinal condition, and perhaps rectal surgery, which occasionally has you clenching your teeth in bed at a late hour, you have no idea of the sheer joy of taking a great big dump.

Or two or three. Combined with a whole lot of sleep.

My wife is out with a friend all afternoon, and the kids have gone to hang out with one of their pals too. I had a 90-minute bath, which did its pain-relieving job this time. Now I think I will take a short walk in the spring air with my iPod and some hard-rockin' tunes. Rollercoaster indeed.
