I DID IT!

Yup, I've been trapped in my house for a week, and then I found out I got an infection (post-op... because pre-op would've been more fun)... so since Wednesday, I've had a funny fever and sweats and a headache... and then I found out on Friday that the whole fever crap was because I got an infection. So... 24 hours later, I've taken anti-biotics and I'm feeling AWESOME! I'm thinking of making a t-shirt... Anyways, I felt very... strong. Hence the Braveheart.

But, the whole point of my blog. I DID IT! I made it all the way to 7-11!! Yes, I was on crutches, I was slower than molasses on a snail, and I got passed by an elderly lady who said, "It's okay, when my knee hurts, I walk slow too." Super, right? But I made it to 7-11 because I was hungry, and it was great! I even made it back with the bag fully intact, and now, I'm not hungry anymore! Later, I'm going to attempt to actually take a bath, not a half-bath.

So, serious for a sec... I had a nightmare last night that I took an hour to pick my clothes before I was getting ready for school on Tuesday, and I missed my bus. So, then I woke up in a panic thinking my knee would never get me to school EVER. But, thank God, (for real, thank God very much... I'll explain), because now I know I'll be okay at school, even with crutches.

Okay, here's why we're thanking God. I'll spare the gross details, but, I went to the doctor yesterday only to ask a question about an allergic reaction to the tape that was on the incision. And, when I mentioned I'd also had a headache and feverish stuff since Wednesday, he figured I might have an infection. He scared me by saying that I might have to go to the hospital to get an IV anti-biotic if I don't get better by Tuesday, and I'm already feeling much better!! So, thank God for me somehow just being led to get the allergic thing checked up so that I could get the whole infection thing taken care of too.

Okay, have fun, I'll be the one running down the street! Well... if you put me next to a bunch of turtles, it'll look like I'm running. But, it'll feel fast to me.
