So, I've been home for over a week now and I feel a TON better. I'm glad I came home before going back to school. A lot more bad things happened but now I'm getting better every day. First of all, the medication I was on this whole time (first a morphine IV and then codeine and then vicadin) was all narcotics, which (this is really gross, but whatever) made me really constipated. I didn't have a normal bowel movement for almost 2 WHOLE WEEKS. And it was the WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Not even kidding, the injury, everything was secondary to this. Appreciate pooping guys, seriously. Bah. Then I found out that all the antibiotics I've been on gave me a yeast infection. Bah again. But I got some pills for that so that's going away.
BUT anyway, once all that was over with I started feeling a ton better. Jon and Melissa came home to visit last weekend and I was really glad to see them, but frustrated that I couldn't go out and do anything with them. My mom and both my sisters went to Kittery to shop and I was DYING cuz I couldn't go. I'm getting really sick of being stuck in the house watching 7th Heaven and the Real World. Because that's what I've been doing. But it's ok, I am actually recovering pretty fast I guess, I'm just impatient, haha. I'm getting up and walking a lot more, and even trying to sit for decent periods of time. I'm still hoping to be back in school after our October break, which would actually be... a week from today! Yikes!
My biggest thing right now is my homework-- I'm about 2 and a half weeks behind right now, and I'm freakin' out! Especially with creative writing, my professor isn't all that sympathetic and the class has been moving at lightning speed, and besides-- I just really haven't been in the poetry-writing mindset lately. I've been more concerned with bowel movements and weaning myeslf off narcotics, haha. I miss school a lot and I can't wait to go back really, but I am very very worried about all the work I've missed. I've never missed more than like 2 days of school in a row in my life! But I've got plenty of time this week, so hopefully I'll be okay.
So ANYWAy, there's my life for now, which I realize is incredibly interesting. I now need to get back to reading King Harald's Saga for history, which I've decided is slightly easier than trying again to be poetic. Muses, where are you?? (up my injured ass, my friend is telling me! =P)
