Starting to look and feel like Fall

Yesterday really looked and felt like a Fall day. It was dark, rainy and cool....didn't even get out of the 50's all day....and that's find with me. I'm ready for Fall.

James went over to his grandmas house and spent the night lastnight. I watched some College football on tv., that was about it. Boy, recovering from surgery sure can be boring as hell sometimes....I did try and clean up some. I brought out some Fall stuff out of the closet and put it up in the livivngroom and out on the patio. Also just notice yesterday that a few trees are just starting to change colors.

Cabin fever

It's a rainy, dark, gloomy Friday morning here in Virginia. Nothing like being stuck at home on a gloomy day. Damn, I have cabin fever so bad! I can't wait untill I can drive, so I can go places and do things again. I'm so sick of being sick, (well, not really sick...just in pain).

I was trying to clean up the livingroom yesterday and I was down on the floor doing something, I went to get up and I hurt my chest. The Dr. told me to take it easy, (and I have been)....but I need to do something from getting so damn bored. Anyway, I also found two staples in my chest that they must have over looked....so when I go back to UVA they will have to pull them out....just great....more pain to look forward to!

I am getting around on my leg a lot better now. It still hurts some...but nothing like it did a few weeks ago. My damn chest is whats been bugging me. Along with the pain, it feels so damn tight.

I did bring most of my plants inside from the patio yesterday. It's getting to be that time of the year. Now I got plants all over my living room. The thing is we don't get much sun light in here in the Winter. So it take a lot to keep the plants alive for the long Winter. By the time Spring time get's here, they look really sad.

First day of Fall

It's 3:31 A.M. and I'm sitting here at my desk drinking a cup of coffee....damn, I live an exciting life, don't I? I got about four hrs of sleep last night before I wroke up...I guess that's better then some nights. I just haven't been able to sleep good for sometime now.

Since I've been sick, I haven't really been any place this Summer other then the Dr.'s office or the hospital. I haven't even been able to drive my car for two months now! My mom has helped out a lot....bringing me stuff over here...taking James place's he has to go....taking me to the Dr.'s. But damn, I miss getiing in my car and just going when I feel like it. I hope it won't be too much longer before I'll be able to drive and go places by myself.

Hey, I just realized today is the first day of Fall. I hope this Fall is a hell of a lot better then this past Summer was! My football teams ain't doing to great. UVA is 0-3 and the Dallas Cowboys just lost Sunday night to go to 1-1 so far for the season. Ummmmmm....come on, something has to start going good for me....anything! O'yeah, when I was in the hospital some cute young nurse was flirting with me....but I was in too much pain to even enjoy it,damnit. LOL...

My new wheels

Taking one day at a time. My leg and chest still hurts...but is slowly getting better. Went over to UVA this past Monday and got the staples taking out of my chest, (had them taking out of my leg last week when I was in the hospital). Boy, it hurt like hell when they took them out of my leg!!

I have been using a walker (my new wheels lol ) that I got at the hospital.....but the last few days I've been getting around a good bit without it. I have been taking two kinds of pain pills and a antibiotic. Would you believe the antibiotics cost $600.00 for 14 pills??? Can you even believe that??? Wow...

This Summer sure hasn't been all that great for me...I hope this Fall is better. So glad Fall is almost here.

My Dallas cowboys won thier first game!! UVA isn't doing too good at all this season so far.

A week in the hospital (UVA)

I've been in the hospital (UVA) the past week. Monday morning my leg was hurting so bad that I couldn't even stand up. Had to call 911 and went to the hospital here....but that evening they transported me to UVA and I was there until Friday afternoon. I ended up getting an infection in my leg from the operation I had. I'm on three different pain pills....but I still hurt!

I have to go back to UVA this Monday morning for the Dr's to see how things are going. My chest also hurts....but not as bad as my leg. I'll be so glad when this crap is over!!

Had the operation

Well, I had the operation on this past Tuesday....and I've been in LOTS of pain since then!! My chest doesn't hurt that bad, my leg is what's been killing me. I take a pain pill evey four hrs....that helps for a little bit, ( just enough so I can hobble around). But when the pills stop working, the pain is so bad I can't walk on my leg. I go back to UVA this Tuesday so the Dr.'s can see how I'm healing. O'boy, the pain!! Can't walk....can't sleep....more or less I've just been setting here at my desk in this chair...the other chairs hurt too much to get out of with this leg! Damn, I wish it would start healing faster!!

College football starts today. I hope I can watch some without being in too much pain. Go UVA......Go Wahoos!
