Some pain today , generally not too bad . Had a few visitors today and expect some to return later . I haven't gotten out much so company is a delightful diversion . My next scheduled appointment is with the liver specialist , which is a consult so it will probably lead to more . That isn't until next month so I plan to spend a couple weeks in rest and recovery . There is much I need to be doing but most of it requires lifting and vigorous physical activity so those things will be on hold for another 3 weeks or so . I have been doing a little each day of things I can do , so as to occupy my mind and hands . This blog is one of those "light duty" things . At least when religion or politics doesn't have me all stirred up .
  Have friends over watching the World Series , I'm just listening as my desk is around the corner from the tv . The Cards aren't doing too well tonight , but I think they sometimes "sandbag" a little so their opponents don't look too bad . Have to let the Red Sox win at least one at home . We'll be able to tell more after a couple games . Once again , I leave you , fair reader , so long , good night , God bless .
