Looking for ideas
I had my cataract surgery this afternoon and I’m not allowed to read or watch anything on TV or my iPad for three days. I’m already feeling somewhat at a loss. I’m looking for ideas of what to do that won’t strain my eyes and also won’t strain my body too much, since I cannot lift heavy weights, do sports, or engage in any other strenuous activities that would increase my blood circulation or blood pressure too much.
That wasn‘t so bad. Only an hour later and I have checked off all five doctor calls.
Ah the joy of trying to get a doctors appointment in Germany on a Monday morning. Sadly, I have to reach five doctors this morning.
I finally caved and paid for a month of Claude Pro for the work on my iPad app. It should come out cheaper then using API calls for vibe coding.
Why I Embraced AI Assisted Writing for my Blog
The Old Way Wasn’t Working I’ve always been a private blogger. No schedule. No pressure. Just me writing when inspiration strikes.
That used to be enough.
But life has a way of changing the game on you. When kidney issues landed me on dialysis, everything shifted. The energy I once had for longer writing sessions? Gone. The focus needed for those longer posts I loved crafting almost 15 years ago? Scattered.
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.
