Hey Guys!
Okay, wow...I don't know where to begin! So much has gone on since I last posted. I know that it has been weeks, and Jacqueline may or may not be going crazy, and I would love to say that I have been so busy that I didn't have the time, but I can't! I guess I had so much to talk about, I didn't know where to start. But today is Sunday, and I am completely bored, so here I am! Ready to talk!
Okay, first off, I got the halo off! We went in a week early and the doctor said I looked so good, so I could take it off! (Pictures at the bottom) It didn't really hurt until the 7th out of the eight pins, and I'm not sure why it hurt so much, but it did... It was so cool to be able to eat without having to get my arms around the bars! It was harder to sleep than I thought, because I couldn't lay on my right side for a couple days because of the holes (That didn't stop me though! =) ) and my other side would hurt my shoulder!! And, I can't move AT ALL like I could before my surgery, but I am (slowly) learning to live with it. The only problem is, I (used to) move around a lot when I sleep, so I have to call my mom help me, which I feel TERRIBLE about, but I either A) Don't have the arm stregth to do it or B) All the rods in my back make it impossible for me to prop myself up enough for me to get into a sitting position. But, I am learning to live with it...slowly...hopefully I'll either be able to move enough by myself so I can stop waking my mom up, or my body will get used to the fact that I can't move anymore like I used to...
Let's see, I went to the ENT yesterday, 99% sure I was gonna end up in emergency surgery, but no, he didn't change the trach (Which seriously took off 50% of the stress right there) and didn't look down with his little camera tube thing...(AKA: Scope)! So, all in all, it was a pretty good appointment. I have to have a small operation on 9/6, but I'm not worried, Its like a 30 minute surgery and its nothing compared to what I have already gone through in the last 5 months.
I think that's all the important news, now is the random news. I saw Hairspray, and I was surprised at how good it was! Amanda Bynes was soo funny (I wasn't surprised), Nikki Blonsky did an amazing job as Tracy Turnblad! Zac Efron was a lot better than I expected, I thought he did an amazing job acting, and the singing was pretty good!! All in all, I give the movie a 9.9/10! (They cut out my favorite song though...*cries*)
I got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!! It was so good!! I won't post any spoilers for people who are still reading it. I seriously could NOT put it down!! I tried to read it during dinner, but my mom wouldn't let me. But we went out to lunch at 11:30 and the books weren't there, and we came back at 12 and the books were there in special Amazon boxes that were SO COOL!!! I was up til midnight reading it, but I did finish it in one day! A new record for me!!! Yes, I'm a dork, but I am a proud dork!! :-D
I also saw the Order of the Phinoex(SP??), twice actually, and it was sooo good. It was a little scary the first time, but the second time it wasn't because I knew what was coming. Everyone did an amazing job in that movie too!!!
I think that's it... I'll post some pictures of me without the Halo!
This is me and my brothers and sisters! (Left to right: Me, Eamonn, Maggie, Rory and Siobhan)
Alright that is it! I will do another post about my Top Fives!!
TTYL!
