Recovery
A slow and intentional recovery plan is in place following abdominal surgery, focusing on breathing exercises, nutrition, and gradual physical activity to regain strength and presence in family life by summer 2026.
My Goals for 2026
Plans for 2026 include recovering from surgery, reconnecting with friends, and reducing reliance on Amazon.
From 10 Meters to 1.5 Kilometers
Eight weeks ago, I had open kidney surgery. After being bedridden for most of my three and a half week hospital stay, that final week felt like a triumph.
I’d graduated from assisted walking to making it down the hospital floor and back on my own. By discharge day, I was walking the entire floor independently. I felt confident. Ready to get back to normal life.
That confidence lasted exactly ten meters outside the hospital.
The Productivity Conversation I Didn't Expect to Have
I sat down to write about productivity. Instead, I accidentally solved my productivity problem.
It started with a simple request. I wanted to turn my struggles with overwhelm and chronic illness into a blog post. Multiple interests pulling me in different directions, dialysis eating up twelve hours a week, YouTube consumption replacing creation - the usual productivity paradox.
You read more about it here.
But something unexpected happened during the conversation with my AI writing assistant.
I just pre-ordered myself a Feather Ruck. Grab one yourself while they are available. Only 500 of every color available for now.
Workout day. Today: triceps, shoulders and back again. They are my weak points and will need a few weeks of focus to catch up.
Sneaking in a little Christmas’s workout before the festivities. Back, shoulders and triceps today.
Today is fasting day and also workout day. I need to get my arm back in shape after it got a hole the size of a tennis ball cut into my triceps.
Rope Jumping
Today marks the start of me getting back into rope jumping. I actually wanted to start rowing, but I have no space for a rowing machine right now and I refuse to pay gym fees just to get access to a rowing machine. So rope jumping it will be for the foreseeable future. I just need to be uber-careful to start really slow to ease my joints into it. They do not like sudden and prolonged strain.
