I went through my usual Saturday morning ritual of paying bills and going to the bank and spoke with my dear friend Dreana who called to check-in on my recovery. I told her I was doing great and that Carolyn and I would love to have dinner with she and Greg  that evening. Carolyn and I then went to our favorite vegetarian restaurant for lunch -  Life Alive – as we do each and every Saturday.  Ahhhh, finally my life is completely back to normal.  Or so I thought.

After lunch, Carolyn and I went back home where I learned about one of the side effects of Oxycodone- constipation.  This was another first for me. I’ve been on the planet for 48.5 years and had never experienced this problem before.  The prior day I had the painful choice of To Pee or Not to Pee.  Today, I learned the second verse to the song -To Poo or Not to Poo. Dreana called to confirm dinner during this painful episode.  Funny, but I was not in the mood for eating. We postponed our dinner with friends to another day. On that day I learned to appreciate another one of life’s simple pleasures that I always take for granted.  Prayer played a significant role during that process too.

On Sunday morning, less than 48 hours after surgery I was back at the gym and on an elliptical machine.  It felt great to exercise after being idle for two days, even if I was only working out at about 70%-80% of my normal level. Routines – when they’re healthy routines that contribute to the happiness of yourself and others – are wonderful!

On Monday, I jumped on a plane and headed to San Jose feeling great. I knew that heading into the surgery at a very high level of health would allow me to recover very quickly and get on with life.

Upon my return from San Jose, I’ll meet with the urologist to determine how I’m going to deal with the remaining kidney stones and how to prevent future stones from forming- if that’s even possible. I have a strong feeling that there will be modifications coming to my already very clean diet.

We can and should try to do everything to the best of our capabilities to prevent disease – regular exercise, healthy eating, proper amounts of rest – but even then there are no guarantees. Once we identify a problem, we can maintain the activities and habits that are serving us, eliminate the ones that are causing problems and replace them with new habits.

Change is constant.  We’re constantly making modifications that will bring us closer to our ideal. Our goal is to maintain a healthy body, a positive mind and a peaceful, loving soul. Every day is an opportunity for us to make progress in all three areas.

If I didn’t know it well enough before, this episode has reinforced my desire to cherish today, love to the best of my capabilities today and be grateful for each of life’s simple pleasures.
