My surgery yesterday went well. I came home with pain in my back at the site of the incision, but no pain in my leg at all. However, I was extremely doped up. So I waited until today to make a more probably accurate report. I feel the same now, early in the morning. I am walking with no limp, and don’t feel much pain except when I lean the wrong way. The doctor prescribed enough pain pils for a week or two, so probably expects me to have some pain for a while. The pain pills are strong but I haven’t taken any yet.
I have big literary news, too. For one thing, I remember two more life works for my list: Finish my taxonomy of literature and Update my list of Contemporary Schools of Poetry.
Kaz, Connie and Karl K. have given me quite a lot to think about regarding my definitions of mathematical poetry, and some of my other poetics terms. I got to thinking about “linguexpressive poetry.” Since all poetry is linguexpressive (i.e., linguistically expressive), I changed it to “linguexclusive poetry.” I hope those devoted to it won’t consider this a derogatory term. I certainly don’t.
More on my new thinking tomorrow when I should be feeling better. I’m still mildly post-operative, I think. Worse by quite a bit, I have a two-hour dental appointment coming up.
