dunkin stop

From january 2011 archive

james was nice enough to take mom to the train station this morning and nice enough to stop at the dunkin donuts on the way, woot! this is up on the wall in the dunkin. i thought the guitar was neat by itself, but when i took the picture i noticed the lights reflecting on the top of it and it looked like wings or something. just thought it was neat. only part that sucked was that mom’s train was 5 hours late :( and we had to leave her there early anyway :(

road warrior

From january 2011 archive

mom and i ventured out today(bum leg and all). we went to get groceries, drugs, coffee, and to pick up my road warrior prizes! the finisher item is a car seat cover with “road warrior” on it, which is neat, and a trophy with my name and everything on it. its my first running trophy ever! woowoo!

cleaned and protected

From january 2011 archive

finally got to take a shower today! :) woowoo! i almost fainted when i got out of the shower though :( dont know if it was just cause i hadnt had much to eat or if it was the meds, or if i just got too hot in the shower...maybe it was a combo of all three, who knows. i laid down on the couch for a little while and mom got some graham crackers for me :) all was ok after a while. my leg looks less like an alien today. much much better! have to keep it protected with band-aids. down to one crutch today which is awesome. hopefully itll be no crutches soon!

crutch fun

From january 2011 archive

practiced using my crutches today even though the dressing is keeping my leg pretty stable. im moving around pretty well today, hopefully it continues! :)

good to know huh?

From january 2011 archive

went in for knee surgery (lateral release) this morning and as they were prepping me, they wrote on my legs...after they wrote “correct” and “wrong” on my leg, the dr came in and initialed the “correct” leg...good to know they’re gunna get the right one huh?
everything turned out ok :) i cried coming out of anesthesia because i was hurting and my feet were cold. i finally asked for a sock to cover my foot and think i yelled at the nurse when she asked me if i was hurting...go figure :) over all though it wasnt too bad, i wasnt sick or anything and the pain meds seem to be working well :)

From january 2011 archive

on the way home from the gym today, i had to stop and wait for big trucks to turn across the road. i have no idea what was on the trucks, but it was HUGE! it took 6 lanes to make the turn across traffic. i dont think you can really tell from the picture, but ah well.

tight spaces

From january 2011 archive

so, i got home from working out this evening and when i sat down to eat dinner i curled my legs up on the chair. spike decided the itty bitty space between me and the side of the chair was a good place to curl up in to. doesnt look very comfortable to me, but whatever works for him....
