Introductions, Feelings of Anticipation, and Content.

SO. I've thought a lot, over the years, about starting a blog. I've written countless first-posts, designed numberless templates, thought about many titles -- why did this one stick? 

I like to think that it was fate, destiny, or something else as mystical and out-of-my-control; but, in reality, I created this specific blog as a post-op journal. Oh, yeah. If you didn't know, I'm getting surgery on my knee this coming Tuesday! Yay! I'm attempting to keep a positive attitude, if you haven't noticed.

Anyways where was I? Right, post-op journal. So, after extensive research (and by "research" I mean Googling), I have decided that the vast majority of the internet is correct: Keeping a public record of your progress, consecutively, after your procedure, is kinda an awesome idea.

Reasons for it's awesomeness:

        

        1) It makes your progression tangible

        2) It is easily accessible and hardly lost

        3) Writing for an audience bestows upon the writer (me) a sense of commitment

So, after deciding to showcase my attempts at forming beautiful sentences to the inter-webs, I designed the blog, and here I am now crafting this post. 

I wonder what you're thinking, reader. Perhaps you're musing about the blogs possible content? Or if it will be nearly as entertaing as cat videos? Well, as to the content: I can't surely say, but hopefully it will contain inspiring, interesting, and informative words -- and, of course, I might even throw in some video of a cute kitty. 

Or, maybe, no one is reading this at all -- But either way, audience or no, I'm going to keep this up. I'm going to stick with this blog because it means something to me. It means that I have hope, it means that there is an end to this trial (one that I can see), and it means that I am doing something about my circumstance -- and not letting it do something about me.
