strangeanimal | foo fighters pondering and random stuff

... what exactly are the Foo Fighters fighting? are they fighting against Foo? with Foo? for Foo? alongside Foo?

and what is Foo anyway??

... although the FAQ has this as an answer... Near the end of WWII, the U.S. Air Force patrolling German airspace encountered highly maneuverable balls of light in the area between Hagenau in Alsace-Lorraine and Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in the Rhine Valley. These unidentified flying objects came to be referred to as "Foo Fighters", or "Kraut Balls" by those who believed the objects were a secret German weapon. ... it's not quite what I had in mind. ANYway...

... 5 days after the surgery. things are definitely improving. had the dressing removed yesterday and now get to see the stitches and the scar. ewwwww. stitches get removed Friday... oh, the fun.

oddly enough, this is the first time i've ever actually been able to see my own stitches... any stitches I've had 'till now have either been in my scalp or on my back. not that I'm particularly eager on seeing myself all stitched up!!

i'm making myself move around more... I'm going for at least one good walk every day, and making sure to get my ass off the couch or computer chair semi-frequently. at this stage it's not even the pain from the surgery itself that's slowing me down, it's the muscles around the area that are restricting my range of motion.

basically, my left leg isn't into the whole range of motion idea as much as my right one. but given time and a few more walks, I'm sure everything will loosen up and get with the program.

... hmm, had less random stuff to say than I thought. ah well.
