knee-nie

Well in case you haven't heard enough about my knee surgery already......

Here are some pictures. Comparing my first few sets of x-rays, to my most recent.
In this set you can see the problem. On the left was before. Both of my patellas are slanted and in the wrong place. If you compare the left side of the image in both x-rays you'll see how it is fixed, sitting in a more correct position.
I find it very weird that I just have two giant screws in my leg. Sometimes I swear I can feel them and I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that is the reason that it hurts so bad to kneel.
My doc said things were looking way good and he was impressed with how i was doing. (Probably because he hasn't seen me try to speed walk/jog). He asked me if I was ready for knee #2. hahaha I laughed and said not a chance. Maybe in 6 months. 

Also, I read a book this weekend that I majorly recommend. 
If you don't follow Stephanie's Blog (nieniedialogues.com)
DO it. 
This book was so good. I read it in two days. I couldn't put it down.
Such an inspiring story full of courage and faith. I think I was most touched by the continual love and support of her family. How willing they were to step right in and take care of things. It makes me feel truly blessed to be part of an eternal family. I think this book helped me to realize what is really important in life. Like my relationships with family and friends. Not what score I just got on my last exam or how I spend my friday night. I would definitely read this book again.

R&R

WOAH!! What the heck happened to blogger? I don't know if I really like it. They deleted everyone I was following. Rude. So if you would kindly leave your blogger address in the comments so I could continue to stalk you, that would be great. Thanks.

Anyways, it has been quite awhile since I last blogged. I feel like I got swept up in a tornado and I just landed. Yesterday. The end of the semester was busy as could be especially with work. But I am FREE. 100 percent free until tuesday. Wow. I forgot what this was like... it is fabulous. I am currently at home. Getting some much needed R&R. I spent yesterday sleeping in, getting my nails done, shopping (in which I found a new dress that I love), going to a baseball game with my sister, and spending the night at home watching Psych. Today is day 2 and I have watched Psych all morning. I just finished season 5. Bam.  Now I can finish reading Harry Potter. Haha I haven't read it basically since January so I kind of forgot what was happening. But believe me. Finishing the series is on my summer bucket list!

Speaking of which.... IT'S SUMMER!!! Can you believe it? Oh man I am so glad. Even though I'll be working at least 30 hours and going to summer school I am still going to try and enjoy myself.

P.S. 364 days till graduation. But who's counting?!?
