I wonder if I look as dead as I feel
I absolutely forced myself to go to the gym tonight. It was miserable, which is odd since I usually feel better with physical activity. But I think because I can’t do anything that I really want to anyways, everything else feels pointless. Except for physical therapy. Because that’s the only thing I can hope will make me feel better right now.
I did 20 minutes on the elliptical...

Just read to children at the daycare
It went much better than last time and I’m actually grateful for the rain/crappy weather today because they couldn’t be ushered outside immediately after their snack. I worked with a group of kids that are really hesitant with strangers and the daycare lady told me that I would just have to stop if they all started screaming and stuff but it actually went really well. I knew enough...
Tomorrow I change.

My feet are numb
I’m actually not sure why I am always cold (my hands are like ice cubes right now too) but it’s getting ridiculous. It’s almost 50 degrees outside today and I’m struggling to even feel my feet.
I should probably go to the pool tonight. I probably will try to do some lap swimming and maybe some pool running. Either way, I’m not going to be doing much of anything.

RUNNING
I need a dumpy frog. Right now. Where can I get one?!?@?!?!? (no petsmart or petco. I don’t need it dying the next day.)
usualchatter replied to your post: I don’t want to be around anyone that can run
I actually Feel a little bit guilty when I make a post on here about running.
Nah, don’t feel bad. It’s your blog and you should be able to post whatever you want! Plus I like when you post about running - it’s good to see someone coming back from an injury and not being completely owned by...

I don't want to be around anyone that can run
especially in this beautiful weather while I have to sit around and watch the beautiful day pass me by.
I think it’s as simple as that. I know I’m solitary…but everything hurts right now. And no one really realizes that.

The Usual Chatter: I rarely have dreams that I... →
usualchatter:
…but I just woke up from one in which I was at a major tennis match. I was sitting in the second row because I’d bought it really cheap online and all the seats around me were empty. But then people started filling in (don’t know why I came so early) and I noticed that the front rows were filled…
ok this is an amazing dream. I dreamed about trying to escape a tornado last...

I'm reading "Stranger in the Village of the Sick"
It’s by Paul Stoller and an ethnography about his own cancer diagnosis and how he dealt with it through his studies in West Africa as an apprentice to a sorcerer.
The book, although slow at times, is truly fascinating and is helping me look at my knee injury in a different light.
I’m happy my professor assigned this to read for Medical Anthropology. It’s eye opening really.

I wish I believed myself when I say I'm never...
Because last night was absolutely insane. It wasn’t bad until we got out to this bar and everyone kept buying me shots and for some reason I kept taking them like I LIKE hard alcohol. But we all know that’s a lie.
By the end of the night I was so drunk and I think I peed in somebody’s driveway on the way to the metro. We caught the last one at 3 AM and I was hysterical at...

Stairwell workouts...
Yesterday I had an interesting workout. Erin and I were going to go check out the gym but then it started pouring and we figured out that we would probably not be able to get in there anyways. So we went into the stair well…
And started running stairs.
I know what you’re thinking. Why the hell would I run up and down stairs for twenty minutes with my knee being such a bitch? And...

Gonna go scope out the gym at my sister's...
Not like there’s much I can do BUT I’m bored and I’ve done more work today than usual (my usual is NOTHING).
Ha. I wrote three pages (DREAM BIG) for my novel and read 60 pages of a really good book (Cutting For Stone) for class. Everyone should read that book. It’s kinda slow at first and a little wordy but it’s honestly quite captivating.

Flogging Molly Tonight!
I’m excited but we haven’t quite decided how we are getting there yet. I think we should take a cab so we don’t have to deal with trying to park and paying but there isn’t really a consensus yet.
Last night’s drive was crazy. Once we got into Virginia the road construction was intense and I had to concentrate so hard so I wouldn’t drive right into a concrete...

Again, thanks
Thanks for all the responses on my doctor posts, I read them all but there is just a lot to reply to. Wanted to say thanks again because you guys always know what to say and I love the advice you give. I will be going back to my surgeon in a couple of weeks so I guess we will see what’s up then. Hopefully.
This morning I just finished my blueberry mini wheats so that’s already a...

okayyyyyy
So yesterday’s appointment was really disappointing. This doctor had to have the worst bedside manner in the entire world. He walks in and starts asking me about my knee. Asks about my history and the procedures I’ve had done. He mentions that there is an off “divet” on my kneecap that showed up on the X-ray and asked if I ever fractured it, especially when I initially...
