that that does not kill you.. 4-25-10

So basically I'm really attractive right now. I haven't showered in 4 days. I have a metal brace on my leg from hip to ankle and I'm pretty sure I smell like throwup, seeing how I that's what I did this morning. An incredible pain in my stomach woke me from my slumber in the middle of the night. I thought it was weird to be having pain somehwere else besides my knee. It turns out my body reacted negativly to the oxycotin pain killers. The pain killers were doing a fine job of numbing the pain but did something absolutely absurd to my stomach. I can handle some knee discomfort but what I was feeling in the morning is something I can't handle. So starting today I went cold turkey on them and have only been taking ibuprofen and icing. That that does not kill you will only make you stronger. I'm getting around really well and tonight was the first night I could sit and eat dinner at the dinner table. Tomorrow I have my first physical therapy session and I feel like I'm a little a head of the game compared to my last acl surgery... so we'll see where I'm really at.
