I struggle. I thought I would be fine, but I'm not. I don't care what anyone says anymore. If they want to believe I am weak, have a grudge, or stuck, than so be it. That just shows they don't understand. I thought we could carry on with little or no heartache; I guess I didn't understand either. I woke up this morning, read one sentence, and felt ( Read more... )

This one time, I wasn't feeling so spiffy. So, I decided to go out for a drive by myself. It was nice, relaxing, and I didn't really think much. That might have a been the reason I got my car stuck in a cemetary. I was driving on fairly decent roads, but then on a hill it turned to almost all ice. I was halfway up when the car stopped and I ( Read more... )

This week was finals week. That's always blah. Now, the semester is over and I'm feeling old. I'm over half way through college. What the heck? I mean, my goodness, I just looked at a few newspapers from October 1984. It was neat to read about our births and what our parents said about it. They seem so amazingly mature and level headed. That was a ( Read more... )

Here are pics of my finger today. The first set of pics aren't on my computer. The incisions are healing quite nicely. It's hard to see the dimpling around the pin from these pictures, but the black blob is a scab which wasn't touching the pin before. Oh yeah, and I can't cut my fingernail.

Caution: Parental guidance recommended. ( Read more... )

Finals are this week. Unfortunately, I'm not stressing about them. Most of my stress is composed right around a measly finger. That's right folks, nothing new, it's all about the finger. Here's an update for that: The skin is drying/shrinking or something and the dimple is getting larger. I don't have any new redness, so it's not infected. But, the ( Read more... )

Well, I'm finally finished with my paper. It ended up 15 pages. Now, I'm watching Monday Night Football and eating food. The game is a blowout and I am running out of food. I have no money since this finger didn't allow me to work for two weeks. My mother is sending $20 so I can get finger supplies. Infections of the bone aren't good and I fully ( Read more... )

Thursday I went back down to Indy to get the club off my hand. It was a nice drive, pretty early, but nice. I hit some snow about 8:15 while I was on the interstate. That made some driving a little hairy. There was one wreck, which made me 5 minutes late for my appointment, but it was ok. My surgeons assistant, possibly, was the lady who helped me ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting here, Thanksgiving night, and I says to myself, I says, "Self, you look pretty bored". Funniest part was, I answered and said 'yup!'. And then I decided to write an update ( Read more... )

Tonight was a good night, but now it's a struggle.

I can't type very well so this won't long. My right hand is in a giant cast and completely useless until December. Can't write, type, push-ups, or even drive a manual transmission (yes, my car is manual). In fact, I can't drive at all because I'm on Vicodine. I don't feel any effects of the drug except a little sleepy, even after I take two Vikes. ( Read more... )
