Just lately, I have been struggling very hard just to cope. I have these two massive tumors in my uterus... they are benign (hopefully) but so big that they are impinging on the nerve of my bladder function. Hence, I need to be stuck with a catheter and pee bag for the next 9 days... until the tumors can be removed. This has made me very very self-conscious about going outside or being seen by anybody. It's really just very uncomfortable to be walking around holding a bag of your own urine.
In any case, Barrett Brown of the Pursuance Project put out the call to ask anybody to do some transcription work. I volunteered immediately and banged it out in about 30 minutes.
I know, I know... How pathetic is it that doing 30 minutes of constructive work could make me feel so good. But it really did. I am hoping to do more work for Pursuance like this. I am hoping that it affords many such opportunities to contribute in some meaningful way.
Anyways... only 9 more days til my surgery... fingers crossed that I last til then.
