Post Spring Break

Had ACL surgery March 10th.

Had stitches and dressing removed tuesday. Started Physical Therapy (PT) tuesday.

It's gonna be a long road. And it's gonna get really tough at times.

I'm just happy I get to start putting weight on it now, can shower without having to wrap my knee, and can start walking as I feel comfortable. I'm not going to cheat myself. I want to get back to normal as soon as I can. So I'm gonna make sure I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing.



This is my clean slate. There is the before the surgery and the after the surgery. Before the surgery I failed exams and didn't study when I was supposed to be studying. Now I'm going to put in the time I should be putting in and have to in order to get A's and high B's in order to make up for the 70 somethings I got on the first set of exams in every class. I will get at least a 3.0 GPA this semester. I will get an A or a high B in all of my exams from now on. I know I'm capable of it. There's no reason why I shouldn't. I will.

I'm choosing to do this without Tim.. he offered to stay for a week or come over on weekends. but he's gonna continue wanting what he wants and I'm still going to stick to my decision and he's gonna get cranky and being around him will just be torture rather than help. (He visited me twice this weekend, the first time was fine, the second time was torture because what I just said happened) I've finally come to accept that we just won't be OK unless we distance ourselves for a while. I was trying and hoping to keep the friendship but the truth is that we're just not ready.



I've also given up Facebook for "Liz's Lent" (which began yesterday and ends on Easter). I think this will be good, as I've wasted many hours on that addicting site.

And now I study for the Pharm exam I have tomorrow.
