My birthday was yesterday and I had a fantastic time, despite spending Tuesday night in the ER because my back completely went out on me. Porterhouse serves delicious filet mignon, that's for damn sure. Thanks to everyone who came by Mercury to hang out for a bit and have some drinks.
However, I can't drink for a while, since I'm on some pretty heavy duty medication for my back and I've been told that if I want to stay out of the ER I need to spend most of my days lying in bed not doing anything. I'm getting a referral for an MRI tomorrow morning and hopefully I can have one scheduled pretty quick so I can go back to physical therapy and fix my back so I can make it to class and work and whatnot. It's pretty shitty, TV gets old and I get tired of feeling really light headed and sleepy all day.
Hopefully I won't have to go into surgery or anything and I'll only be confined to a bed for a week or so. Not trying to garner pity from anybody, just letting people know why I won't be around campus or downtown for a while. I'm still up for hanging out, I just can't go much of anywhere and I'm kind of boring, so it's all good if nobody comes by. I'm going to try to learn how to knit, since I can do that while I'm laid up and it makes for cheap, nice Christmas presents. I'll try to make my friends scarves and whatnot, so if you leave a comment and let me know what colors you like and if you want a scarf or a pair of socks or something like that (nothing too complicated, I might make a couple of sweaters for family, but that's about it). I could probably make a couple of knitted handbags for my chick friends if any of them want it, so just let me know and I'll do what I can to get you something by around Christmastime. Of course, I'm making stuff for family first, so if I don't get to you, it's really just because I ran out of time and not because I don't care or something like that.
Anyway, I need to go lie down again. Peace.
