Handicap

Well since surgery, my knee has grown bigger then my thigh!! There's just something not right about it, not to mention my thighs are different sizes. I was on crutches for only 2 weeks and my quad has atrophied to just a femur bone (thigh). Its completely disgusting. I am trying to fit physical therapy in between class, studying, and the OR. Ive actually never been so excited to go back to school, I had to take 2 weeks off and I cant even tell you how board I was. I wasn't able to drive at the time so my days consisted of studying, tv, and watching the cellulite multiply on my butt. I started my clinical rotations in the OR and am loving it. I'm working with the veterans and I love them and am honored to take care of them. I have good days and bad days. Sometimes nailing all my intubations (breathing tubes), IVs, and running the entire case, and other days I cant to anything right. During my time off, my mom came out to help me while Jordan was in Utah. We hit up a few restaurants, museum, Redbox, and the local liquor store in a "Jazzy" (see below). We spent Valentines day this year watching the sunset at the beach, cooking a delicious dinner at home, and movies. Jordan has been just as busy working and running my errands while I'm incapacitated (god bless him). I think he was more excited then I was when I went back to school. Well that's it for now, love you all...
Happy V day!!! Sunset at Venice Beach Getty Museum in LA. If your ever in town you gotta check this place out.

Thank goodness for wheelchairs and handicap passes

Grocery shopping 1 week after surgery, in the liquor section of course, I was going crazy sitting home all day.
