My Favourite Accident
Well my life has certainly taken an unexpected turn. Most people seem to think I'd be devastated but really I'm not, I really should be when I think about it, but it's either who I am, or studying psych has made me look at things differently, but overall I kind of just think things could be way worse.
Firstly, for those who don't know, I stuffed my knee up on my 21st birthday strangely, which I ended up seeing a specialist about this week, and his professional opinion is that I've probably torn my Anterior Cruciate Ligament and done some cartilage damage, but I'm getting an MRI done on Thursday to show the full extent of what damage there is. Then chances are I'm going to need a full knee reconstruction. But I have a weird way of doing things, I like to just assume the worst so then anything I hear is going to sound better by comparison. So when I heard that I'd be doing rehab and stuff I got really excited for that, because I can't wait to walk and drive and get into the gym again. As I currently do nothing but watch TV, play Xbox and PS3 and hang out with Rach, which is surprisingly good, I adjusted pretty quickly and after that I was all good. *psst* The hanging out with Rach bit being good wasn't a surprise, she's rad.
Other than that, mum ended up in hospital again and now they've given her 4 months and are looking at putting her into pallative care at Werribee Mercy. I'm fine with it though, since being crippled I spent a lot more time with her and could see it coming. It's more my dad and brothers that I'm worried about because they're a mess, and nothing you say really helps at the moment because they're in denial about it all, then try to deal with it all at once, rather than bit by bit. But it's really upto them how they choose to deal with it. Hopefully soon it's with a lot less alcohol though. No one really needs to drink themselves sick in this situation. Especially not me while I'm on pain medication, even though it doesn't seem to affect things that much.
That's me of recent. Sorry for the lack of updates.
