I had my first major near-incident this morning. I was going to the bathroom and got myself some breakfast on the way back. (Tupperware is the way to go, BTW. You can put food in, shut the lid, put it in a plastic shopping bag and just tie the puppy to crutches/walker. Simple and easy.) On the way back to my bedroom, I came disasterously close ( Read more... )

I have many hopes about this visit. This is the first one to really check on how my bone is handling the new hardware and I'm excited to see the progress. I'm not too worried about lack of said progress because I can feel it in my daily improvement. Some things still hurt like mad (sleeping without my brace on for one, as I've discovered it ( Read more... )

I am having a very strong reaction to any oil's scent. I tried out R.M. Renfield today and found that it doesn't work with me at all. This in itself is nothing surprising at least 2/3 of scents (if not more) don't work for me. However my reaction to this oil and it's very faint lingering smell are almost staggering. I feel physically ill! I've ( Read more... )

I couldn't help it; it's freaking hilarious!

On the twelfth day of Christmas, ( Read more... )

It's amazing how much better I feel now that I'm finally laying in my own bed in my own apartment, taking care of my own self. True, my leg is going to be totally useless for at least another month, strapped up and unable to get more than a dribble wet and I still can't ride in a car normally or go outside or do much of anything. But I'm HOME ( Read more... )

It's amazing how much better you feel when you take a shower. Yesterday, I got to take my first shower since a week and a half ealier. It hurt like crazy afterwards, but I'm still glad I did it ( Read more... )

I've been without internet for a week now and it's making me pretty insane. I'm regulated to bed-rest here at my mother's house in Mt. Horeb. This wasn't originally so, however. Last Friday I was all set to go home until the surgery, but there was a blizzard which didn't allow it. And then... I slipped. Badly. Screaming pain badly. Luckily I ( Read more... )

On Monday, I went to urgent care to see what my sudden SEVERE knee/shin pain was all about. They went ahead and did x-rays, which showed something none of us was at all expecting. I have a very large tumor growing in the upper region of my tibia. (That's the bigger of the two shin bones.) The doctor immediately made an appointment for me to see ( Read more... )

I just bought a ticket for the Colin and Brad show in January! XD I'm so tempted to buy one for the second night, too. :B Maybe I'll wait just a bit and save my money if there're any left.

The Marriage Amendment passed. For the first time in my life, I'm ashamed to be from Wisconsin.
