Thanks. We often underestimate what we can do until something forces us to do so. That said, I'm not going to lie, I have struggled with some depression, especially at night. Luckily, I have some Zoom/Facetime/message boards to keep me going (when I am well enough; each day has ups and downs). Fortunately and unfortunately, this isn't my first rodeo with long stays like this, so I'm used to it and I know how to deal; doesn't make it suck any less though. I was finally extubated, and if my kidneys can return to normal function, they will do the abdominal reconstruction surgery (I have to have this before I can leave), which will be a one or two week recovery; I still have a hernia because the mesh from the previous surgery failed, and they want to reconstruct the abdominal wall to hopefully prevent these constant hernias (incisional hernias from dozens of surgeries in the stomach/belly).
Anyway, I had planned to go to the Mizzou and Auburn games; I want to make it to every SEC stadium. I've only been to the Swamp, and it wasn't a Kentucky game. I was going to do Mississippi St and Georgia (or Vandy, or Cocks) next year. This all came crashing down when COVID hit and it looks like I won't be able to go to any games this year (unless they increase capacity levels).
In other news, it is September 10, 2020, at 1:50 PM Eastern time, and Louisville STILL sucks!
