house arrest...and me looking like i'm 15
been home for the second day in a row from work today because of my knee. didn't snap, pop or twist it this time yet the pain symptoms and area affected are exactly the same. after seeing an osteopath, having four weeks of physical therapy, seeing a knee specialist and even having an mri done still no answer as to what's causing it. no fun. but it's good to know that the scan came out saying there's no need for surgery. doesn't take away the frustration when i can't walk on it, but does take away the stress of the hassle surgery would cause.
the end of the term is upon us and most people would say that school is winding up for the finale but i think it's winding down. i'll be glad when the term is over so i can put in a good solid 40 hr work week for two weeks at the arc.
i leave on the 30 to go see dante and i'm super excited. it amuses me that when people learn i'm still planning on going they're flabberghasted. it sounds like the weather will be warmer while i'm there too so that will be a nice change from this cold we've been having here. i just want more days that are 50 to 60 degrees and raining or clear skies...is that too much to ask?!?
i find it interesting to look back on my reactions to being overwhelmed with school, work and health issues. to see how i handled it well in the beginning but once i hit the one month mark everything began to crumble makes me realize how much i've changed as a person. i used to love the stress always being on my back...now i can't stand it and it makes me want to run and hide in a dark cave. and yet having been at home all day today and yesterday (save my trip to the urgent care clinic which lasted 4 hours and another hour for travel time and a stop at the store to get aleve, tylenol AND ibuprofen for the inflammation and pain) i'm going nuts in not having enough to do...or feeling like i don't have enough. but at the same time, it provided me time to go back through my friends' page to catch up on everyone's lives i had missed so much and to catch up on the news as well. i guess i just wish i could do all that and that the hours didn't drag by on the clock...because then i feel like i've done nothing.
and because i haven't updated in a long time...some pictures...all me cause when i got my new phone i became a camera whore, heh. what's more sad than that though is that i still look like i'm 15 yrs old. i suppose whem i'm 35, looking almost 10 years younger will be nice or come in handy...but right now...i can't describe it with words, only the gutteral sound "guh".
