I woke up this morning....
Posted Jul 29, 2003
and I just laid there.
The snooze alarm went off...and I just laid there.
The snooze alarm went off...and I just laid there.
And yet again the snooze alarm went off...and I just laid there.
I finally considered getting up.
I looked around...everything was where I had left it the night before.
I wandered through the house...everything was just the same.
I let the dogs out and they started barking....just the same as every other morning.
I went into the bathroom and carried out my normal routine...just the same as every other morning.
Headed for the computer, logged on read my email, headed out to H2 for a little reading and possibly a little posting...just like I do 95% of the time...the other 5& I'm running too late and have to wait until I get to work....but once again...just the same as every other moring.
I am sitting here in the buff and I'm late for work...just the same as every other morning.
D*mn, heaven is boring.
Huh?
Well, obviously I died and went to heaven last night...
I am pain free this morning.
Other than a little stiffness, the knee and the ankle are both working just fine.

Not all emergency rooms are created equal....

tonight's hospital was much better!
I went storming out of the house and managed to twist my right knee (serves me right for being p*ssed with Barton). Knee is swollen and beginning to hurt like h*ll. Leg is currently immobilized from calf to thigh. Nothing is broken and brace can come off in 24-72 hours.
Most interesting part of trip was when doctor was checking for breaks and torn ligaments. He took my ankle and turned it sharply inwards. As he peeled me off the ceiling, I was still shouting "WAIT A MINUTE." I let him know the compression sock was not just for decoration 
.
Funniest part of the evening was in x-ray. I was flat on my back and the tech said move your foot over here (I assume he was pointing somewhere). I promptly explained that in that position I hadn't seen my feet since I was 12 and he would need to be just a little more specific as to where here was.
Off to bed. I need to leave for work in 6 hours

A positively positive post

It has been 18 days since I have needed to take narcotics for pain. 
I am sleeping through the night…and not having to take a nap during the day.
It is simply amazing how that can change your perspective of life.
I can smile. I can laugh. 
Who cares if the front of my tee-shirt says “Today is not your day”
And the back of my tee-shirt says “Tomorrow isn’t looking good either”
Today is MY day.
Tomorrow is MINE also.
So there!!

Letting Go
Posted Jul 9, 2003
I came across an interesting statement on one of my other support boards.
“Support groups are so important. We need to go thru the stages grief to come to true acceptance - or at least honest acknowledgement. Grief is not just for when a loved one dies -although it definitely is necessary then - but when life throws us any kind of nasty curve that changes all our hopes and plans.”
When I saw N last week, I commented on how important support groups are. No matter how much training any counselor receives, unless they have experienced the actual trauma, they can only empathize. That is was the best rape counselors have been raped themselves. N agreed with me.
As much as I hate to give J any credit, she was right to say I needed to treat the issue with Shawn and Angel as a grief issue – BUT not as a death issue but rather as a bad things happens to good people issue.
Most articles I have read refer to the five stages of grief – denial, anger, bargaining, despair and acceptance. They also have indicated that even though you have reached acceptance, things can trigger you back to one of the other stages.
I am at the acceptance stage. I have done everything I can and now it is time to move on.
