good news and bad news
good news #1:my grandpa is fine.
i know. weird.
he's fine. it's like a miracle or something. thanks so much to all of you who poured support on my famly through this! his "stroke symptoms" are completely gone. they think it might have been the effects of the anesthesia (i need to learn to spell if i am going to work in the medical field!). wild!
he's still in ICU. but he is in good spirits and talking and teasing the nurses and telling stories about shearing sheep as a kid (he's in his 90s!). so that's good.
my grandma and aunt and uncle are by his side. now, let's hope that they decide to move back west where all their family is.
good news #2:
i got roller skates.
honest to god, old school, four-wheeled roller skates, baby! no in-lines for me!
the husband (aka: effing genius!) and i went to the roller derby recently (it rocked!! it deserves its own post) and it re-ignited my passion for roller skating. i used to be able to do tricks! but i haven't skated for like, oh . . . 10 years or something.
so, my best friend and i went to goodwill and (as fate would have it) there were 2 pairs of skates. one in her size and one in mine. it was meant to be. PLUS, mine have glitter in the wheels and along the sides.
so we buy them and go skating at the park. fabulous.
i can feel the cellulite melting away.
on to BAD NEWS #1 (the only bad news i have actually) . . .
BAD NEWS #1:
i fell.
i fell hard.
from my roller skates to the cement ground.
i was trying to skate backwards and hit a crack. and fell.
my left arm is in an ace bandage, my husband had to tie my shoes and help me get dressed this morning. it wont bear weight. i couldn't even type with it yesterday.
my left hand is twice as big as my right.
it hurts.
but i am taking arnica and icing it. i think it is just sprained.
i don't have health insurance, so we are going to say that it is just sprained.
i had to cancell a massage last night because it wont bear weight. so i am not making any money right now as far as massages go . . . bummer. there goes my spending money for germany.
craptastic.
in conclusion:
but seriously people: I HAVE ROLLER SKATES!!!!!!
revision:
i DO have bad news #2!
BAD NEWS #2:
