Right now I am sitting here thanking the heavens I can walk, thinking of Takk and counting my blessings.

Best of luck to you Takk, I hope your rehab goes well!

Trying to settle into my new home. I feel so weird needing a wheelchair for everything, but at least I can do it all. Here's hoping the comfort of a normal bed will put me at ease.

Wishing I was home instead of at work. My jaw and ear are still taking turns hurting. At least I can go to the doctor tomorrow and get checked out and hopefully get some antibiotics

I'm once agin waiting for my therapist so the day can begin. Today should be my last full day here. I'm going to do some evaluations of essential life skills with my therapists, which should all go fine, and then get measured for a custom wheelchair and given a loaner stock model for the time being. My brother is picking up the necessary items for my apartment, and dropping of my car here so we can practice getting in and out of it, as it sits a bit lower than the hospital car I was trained on. Seems like it'll be a full day, but that's okay because tomorrow I'll be sleeping in my own bed.

What happened Takk? I feel like I missed something...
After the first few days, I regained control of my arms and hands, but the legs have yet to fully recover. I've been on an intensive inpatient rehabilitation floor for the past few weeks, trying to reteach my nerves how to make me walk (amongst other things), but the quads are having a lot of trouble reactivating, and the right leg in particular is recovering exceptionally slow. As such, I'm currently wheelchair bound, but I've reached a point where I can do everything essential to life independently, so they're setting me up with my own wheelchair and discharging me next week.
I'll then be attending outpatient physical therapy to continue my path towards walking again.

Economics Midterm Monday. I should be cramming. I'm doing good so far, though. 88% average on my quizes. (Statistics not so much- 55% on the first midterm.)
What I'm doing *right now?*- Turkey stew simmering, laundry running and puttering at the computer.

What kind of company? At least you are at home, that's good!
It has cooled down a bit for the last week, but it is giving 95 for Monday. I shouldn't complain, that is better than 105...

Dreaming of retiring. Since we have our own company and our office is about 30 paces from the house, it's not like I'm an 8-5'er. I pretty much set my own hours and pace. (Not a bad deal). But the work is still there and inescapable.Are things cooler out there for you in San Ang?

Welcome back Lammy...I guess I am not here often enough to notice the board being down...? What is with the office work? I could swear you had said you were retired...?

Well gee, I came here a few weeks ago and it looked like the board was gone--I kept getting error messages, so I figured it was goodbye. Then today, while I'm sitting here at my desk going through several days of mail that has piled up because I've been too lazy to tackle it, I turn around to my computer screen and TA-DA the Highlander main page has appeared by some mysterious means. Very, very weird. Obviously, a sign I needed to check in.
Hap, congrats on the weddings in the family. PW, glad to hear things are sounding better. Takk, happy new living arrangements. MJ, sorry to hear you're in pain. I feel for you. I feel so fortunate that my back is no longer killing me. Hi Cool! How's it going? James654, hello and welcome, and most of my posts here involve me avoiding office work. Ceridwen, laundry NEVER ends.Dub, be careful out there. Glad you didn't hurt yourself in your fall. I know it's been a month, but, hey, I'm trying to get caught up.
The Kurgen (!) is on Emergence.

Just going to haul my carcass out of the recliner so I can take pills and go to bed. I am really fed up with my back, hip, SI joint, the whole kit and caboodle...

My printer ran out of color ink, so I went to the store and replaced it (and got 10 yen off for turning in the old cartridge). Came home, set up new cartridge, only to have the black ink run out. I really ought to have seen that coming. Heh.

Well, I'm learning to be an Accountant in the Business division of the school. I'm starting to figure they're giving me a bonus lesson on what not to do with a business that provides online content. (Now a fancy specialized calculator didn't come with the textbook, and all of my classmates & I are having trouble booking our exams.)
But hey, got the textbook yesterday. Now to cram-read 62 pages in 10pt text for the quiz due Saturday.
Health, at least, seems to be holding. (*knock on wood*) Mammogram came back unchanged, and my respirologist says my lungs are clear. (But still *hackhack* from the old scaring.)
