Spring Update





My scars are minor on my knee. I'm doing better and leg pressing 45 lbs with my right leg only! Quite impressive considering only 2 weeks ago I couldn't even bend my knee. 
I'm on the quick mend!

But in cat news..
I'm taking my cats, Charlie and Boo, to Maryland with me this summer. I'm really happy about it because I plan to use those few months to train them to use the toilet instead of their litter!
I've been reading up on it a lot and I have a lot of faith in them. While they are pretty stupidly cute, they are very adaptable to change. Maybe due to their trash cat pasts. They are pretty young too (Just turned 1 year old this month..i think).  
They were estimated to be about 5 months when I first got them so we are celebrating their birthday next weeknd. I'm getting them a window sill hammock! I'm more excited about it than they will be. 

This blog might turn into a potty training one starting this Mary haha.

2 more weeks till GRADUATION! God, I cannot wait. 

OH~! and i forgot to mention that UAB finally told me I am on their waiting list. I just have to be patient and hope I get an opening. I have a good feeling about this.

post op


Surgery was quick and easy. I had ridiculous dreams during the procedure. I believe they were about Vh1 reality tv shows. Go figure, haha.

So now I'm stuck in my own home. A prisoner to the sofa. I guess I finally got what I asked for which has always been to be able to do absolutely nothing in peace. There are definitely positives and negatives. I am waited on by my mom; she gets me anything I need. She even made my sister bake me a cake!

I'm pretty anxious though. I can't stand not moving my leg. I don't know what my leg looks like underneath the bandages, but I can feel the tight pulling of my stitches whenever I get up. The pain medication does nothing for me except make me itch all over.

I can't wait to be able to walk and drive again.

I MISS MY PERFECT KNEE!
