Day ?: i forgot.

HEEEY

Its been a while, sorrrry haha. I just am so busy laying on my side and walking without a walker :) I am feeling goood, and tomorrow I head back to Indiana for Thanksgiving with my other side of the family!! crazy card games are in my future!! woohoo!! I still have a shark bite out of my lower back, so its just so weird that i feel so much better... buuut it does.

soooo it snowed today. a lot. Big fat snow flakes.... it starts....

I wont be writing every day now because I really have nothing to say. I am pretttty boring these days... just kinda... watch tv... so i will be updating around 2-3 times a week!

I just wanted to give a shout out to my homeboy Roy!!!! He got is diploma this week and i am soo proud! GO ROOOY!!!!

I love and miss everyone! MUAH!

Day 17: feeeeling good!

hey guys!!

i am just feeling better and better every day!!! just being able to get up and make my own coffee without taking a good half hour is sooo amazing! The best part i think though is being able to sit down to eat. Its really annoying trying to eat when you are laying on your stomach... do not recommend.

I have a doctors apt tomorrow... i have t o drive myself!! ahhh! lets hope i really am doing as well as i feel. im nervous for the bumps or the quick stops... and i wont be able to take any pain meds before i head out... little scary... wish me luck!!

other than that everything is really boring.... movies and books are starting to get old.... blllaaaahhh.

love and miss all of you !!!

Day 16: :)

hey guuuys!!!

I am sooo happy about how much better i feel!! im down to two vicodins a day... compared to 6-7!! aaaand i can sit down for dinner AND for a brief amount of time i can sit up on my side on the couch!!! life is good :) next step... walking like a normal person... even though i have officially passed on my walker to somebody who needs it more...



isnt she cuuute?

so i had such a fun holiday and i am so sad it is over :( back to doing nothing but watching tv and movies... but to help me through it, the Krengel's sent me all different kinds of flavors of pop corn... one of which is s'mores.... i know, awesome.

miss everyone very much :(

love you all!!

Day 14: Gobble Gobble GObble!!!

HELLOOO!!

HAPPPPYYY turkey daaaay!!! sorry i forgot yesterday.... i was so excited to be with my family i forgoooot.

I am still getting better and better! gauze change does not hurt as much anymore (THAAAAANNKKK GOD!!!) i even played charades with everyone today, like a normal person! it was so fun!

I also ate way too much... woopsy, but it was so worth it and i make no apologies. My beautiful soon to be cousin-in-law finally revealed her wedding dress... OMG it is sooo pretty! i cant wait to stand next to her in just a few short months.

I hope everyone had as good a thanksgiving as me and better luck at euchre too...i miss everyone and i am SO thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life :) miss you all!!!

Day 12: oone is the lonliest nummber....

heeyyooo!!!

I woke up at 2:oo PM today!!! hahaha, that gave me a good two hours of sunlight... it gets so dark so fast here its driving me crazy! mom had work all day today so i had the house to myself, alllll byyy myself... haha, i watched a lot of "Lost" episodes! actually, that is all i did... its so addicting!

I can tell i am healing, it hurts less and less each day, although i still walk like a 100 year old. We are taking pictures of my wound every day now to see the progression of healing! i wont post the pictures because i know that some people may not be ok with them haha.... its kinda gory. If you do want to see them though i can send them to ya via email!!! my email is vanandab@msu.edu :)

tomorrow i head to Indiana to see my cousins and aunt and uncle... SO PUMPED!!!! :) I love thanksgiving with my family, we are all so.... special.... AND it will be a nice change! i get to lay on my stomach somewhere else! wooohooo!

Im really starting to miss my friends :( i think they need to come see me soon.... (cough cough)
haha

I love you all!!!!

Day 11: whats up doc?

ooyyy

Woke up today... and felt EVEN BETTER!!! I think i may actually be healing! its hard to think that my tailbone could actually feel fine with a big gaping hole in it, but it does :) I only had to use my walker once! ONCE! YESSS!!!!

Went to the doctors today, he said I was doing just fine! i really like the guy, he has kind eyes and is more laid back than me... sweeeet. I think he likes me too, he laughs at my jokes and gives me candy... yup, i like my doctor!

I am starting the "Lost" serious... weeeiiirrrddd stuff, but im hooked already!

i miss everyone...

Day 10: WE GOT A BLEEDER!!!

hellooo

ahh finally I can say the pain is better than the day before!!! lets hope its not a fluke!!! I actually SAT DOWN in a chair today, thanks to a special pillow! you just cant eat ribs on your stomach.... you just cant. Gives me hope to sit at the Thanksgiving table with the rest of the family on Thursday :) I am MAKING that trip to Indianapolis even if it kills me...

Sooo, the pain is better, but boy oh boy am I bleeeding!!! nooo fun. On top of the thousands of layers of gauze, i have pads lining my underwear now... i go through more pads than a girl in the 7th grade...

I have a doctors apt tomorrow so after that i will know if i am healing correctly or not. fingggers crroossed!

Love you all!!!
