THE SURGERY CHRONICLES, PT 4: NOTES FROM A DISGRUNTLED BASEBALL FAN
I have been waiting all day to blog, because last night and this morning rank very high on my short list of absolutely miserable moments in life. But who the hell wants to hear about my problems? I’m even over me.
I can only lay down flat or stand up. Neither option is comfortable, and I am not able to sit and watch TV or movies. So I am BORED.
I’ve been trying to think of highlights from this process thus far. Um…I was able to take a shower today. Oh, and the anti-nausea medicine is finally working. That’s about it.
In other depressing news, the A’s traded their best pitcher today. For prospects. To the Diamondbacks. Beane might as well just throw in the towel, admit that they’re rebuilding and waiting to get marquee players when it’s time to build that new stadium.
And although I was kind of relieved (and surprised) that no current Oakland players were on Mitchell’s extensive steroid report, I just don’t feel like the A’s management have done a damn thing to improve since last season. The stupid Angels got Torii Hunter, and we are down one starting All-Star pitcher.
So that’s all for today, my friends. Tomorrow I plan to save up some energy to yell at the people who are responsible for Golden Globe nominations.
Seriously, thank you all VERY much for the many comments and get well wishes. The one thing I am able to do with ease and often is check my phone for emails and text messages. They are really helping me get through this and I appreciate all of your support.
