Sooo I finally got my cast put on today, WOOT. It'll be two weeks tomorrow since I broke it. FINALLY. Yeah, soo it's a walking cast, but I can't walk on it for at least the next two weeks, lol. I was talking to Dr. Boyce (who, for a guy so much older than me, is quite attractive...heh) and he said no weight on it for the next two weeks, when I have to go back to the hospital again (I swear it's getting to be a home away from home) to see him so he can check it out again and make sure everything's healing as it should.
And I've decided I'm not going back to school just yet...Not only is it awkward trying to carry my backpack & sax while trying to steer the wheelchair, I'm so damn nauseous and beat from all the meds running through my body. I'm not used to taking any medication or anything, so my body is all messed because of it, and I can't really stay awake for more than 4 hours at a time...and when I try and focus on something, like reading, I wanna pass out or puke (and I usually end up taking a 3-hour nap). So I dunno, I'm thinking, as much as I hate to say it, that I might have to miss school until I can walk with my new-fangled walking cast. I dunno, but I'll keep everyone posted.
Yay for being a cripple. I've even noticed how different people are to someone who's in a wheelchair. Even though I don't have any disability other than a broken ankle, some people look at you totally different. There are those who stare blankly and kind of awkwardly look at you, and others actually go out of their way to be helpful by holding open doors and such. Wow, I hope I've never made anyone feel uncomfortable for being disabled. I know I always try and act as normal as possible, but you never know, y'know? Just a thought.
Anywho, I'm outsies for now. Adios.
