New Things

So ignoring my blog isn't that new. Yet, it still happens.

A while ago, I started following certain people on Twitter. The majority being famous people that I don't know. It's become a new addiction for me because these people are interesting and funny. Doesn't hurt that they're SciFi related authors/actors.

I bought a long board skateboard as a fun way to get from the train to work and the reverse. Bryce has never owned a skateboard and had to try teaching himself. So, how'd that go, you ask? Another new thing for me: a broken bone. I broke my friggin' ankle. I've been stuck on a couch for a little over a week with pain and pain meds.

This also allowed for the first time I have ever been in an ambulance, been in the ER for me, had surgery. Thank goodness they knock you out and don't have to think about what they just did (clean out the ankle, open it up, take the floating piece of bone, put it next to where it should be, put a plate against both, and put in 9 screws, fold your skin over it all and staple it closed). The really funny part is the marking of the correct leg. Because, even though it is perfectly clear by the blood-stained, bandage-covered, gaping hole in the left ankle, they must mark the correct limb for surgery. LOL



Oh ya, and I've spent a lot of time explaining what the hell happened as well as being told "you're not that young anymore." LOL I understand the statement and those like it but it still feels like I'm being called OLD. Oh well. Crutches, also something new that I've not had to use before.

One more new thing: I will have a brother-in-law in about 3 months. Kewl but strange. Keep life from being stale right?
