finding out the latest from me

Because apparently, I'm just that damn important.

But seriously. My family has been vigilant in finding out if I'm okay or not, and many well wishes and prayers have been sent from my not family and my friends and other miscellaneous people. And thank you to everyone who has called, sent emails, letters, care packages, flowers, bears, cards, candies, foods, and anything else because it has made this journey easier.

Today hasn't been bad. I've been able to eat A LOT more today than the past few days combined. My stomach felt really unstable this morning until about noon, and the head/chest cold was really bogging me down. But I feel a lot better than I did. The cough is a dry one now, and it's hard to get rid of that scratchy feeling. But really, I just laze around, watch TV, eat food, and try my hardest to not feel like crap. I'm convinced that my stubbornness is half of what's getting me through lol.
Chris is dead tired in Raleigh. And I hope that Rikku doesn't forget me lol. I realllly want to get back to Raleigh and work on unpacking and the house and everything. But that's okay.

Annyway. I've been doing my exercises and they aren't too hard. My bottom incision hurts a lot when I exercise and and move and stuff. And it's annoying with those tape things and the band-aids and stuff. I can bend it fairly well, but it stresses the incision and the tape things and the band-aids. Grah.
And I can hobble around really easily. I just lock the brace, and hobble away. And then I unlock it when I'm lounging. I need to work on my extension more. And on my quad control. But my knee is SO swollen that it's really difficult. It reminds me of when the accident happened and I couldn't really control the quad that much. I might ask Greg (when I get back to Raleigh) to do the electrode thing and stimulate it that way to get it alive again. It's so hard to tighten it, but it's virtually impossible to tighten it during the straight leg raises. But, little by little. And I'm working on walking around without my brace with the crutches to practice how to walk again. I should be pretty good in 2 weeks though (that's when school starts too).

Well. Back to That 70's Show and finding MORE food to fill my tummy with. I lost some weight from all the puking and not eating ;) but now I need to make my stomach stronger.
Cheers!
