Hola. Today there isn't much to blog about, considering I haven't even been awake 12 hours and I'm so ready to go to bed. I woke up at random times for small periods of time, but totally woke up at 1PM. As I've said numerous times before, it drives me nuts when I feel like I've wasted my day. However, I guess my body is telling me "Stop being so hardheaded and obsessively motivated right now...Sleep!" We had a yummy lunch of ham and potato salad while watching Everybody Loves Raymond. I'm convinced that TBS has the best line-up of shows. I mean, you've got E.L.R., The Office, King of Queens, etc. You can't get much better than that. I walked around the house for a while, trying out a new path. Adventurous, I know ;) Macie was laying on the carpet next to the window, watching the snow fall. We're just lucky we dodged the bad weather. I watched some news concerning the situation in Egypt, and I can't begin to imagine what it's like there. We should all send our prayers that way. I did a couple of things job application related, spent some time figuring out what I need to send where. I'm just hoping something comes out of this, perhaps an interview or two? Fingers crossed. :) Tonight for dinner Dad picked up Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza (yum) and two movies on Bluray for our new player. After we ate, we watched The Social Network. Tomorrow Dad and I are going to watch Inception for the first time. I heard it will blow my mind. We shall see! As for surgery-related news, here we go:
1. Random pains that feel like someone is stabbing me continue
2. My hip pain has traveled down my leg to the point where some nerve makes my kneecap ache
3. Since I have regained a lot of feeling in my back, I can feel every little thing that touches my incision
4. I can now successfully get out of bed without anyone's help :D Now, getting in bed is another story...That still requires some assistance from Mom or Dad.
5. Sometimes when I'm not feeling much pain, I forget that I had the surgery (crazy, I know), and start doing things I shouldn't like a) turning without shifting my torso, b) instinctively trying to grab something before it hits the ground c) slouch in a chair, etc.
6. I'm four weeks out with much recovery ahead. As for what is to come, I have no idea, but I hope it's only up from here.
It's 11:18, and I am so tired that I believe I will retire before midnight. Crazy, right? I know...Maybe this will make me wake up at a decent hour. Sweet dreams, everyone!
