What we do for fun....

K, So sorry it has taken me a while to update my blog, but I was looking through pictures and videos from back home cause I was homesick and fell upon a game we played while I was home. Here's the rules. Two people have to leave the room. The rest of the group decides to act out a person, place, and thing. Then one of the two comes in and watches as one of the group members act it out. Then when they think they have it, they act it out to the other person who left the room and they tell everyone who, where, and what. Let's see if you guys can tell who it is, where it is, and what it is from two AMAZING, need to be in a movie actors!

This one is Stevie doing it to my father.

Okay for some reason the second and the best one can't be seen so you are going to have to guess who, where and what. See how good you are... lol by the way my family really is this crazy!

Top ten of 08'/New Years Resolution

Okay, so some of my GREEAATTTT!!! friends do this top ten list for the year and so I decided I should do that.... So my top ten list for the year of 08'

1. Surgery #1 for ACL (which should include my doctor trying to hook me up with his son.)

2. Surgery #2 just a scope. I learned that this surgery is a breeze compared to the ACL just a quicky and I'm up and out the door pretty much.

3. Surgery #3 which was supposed to be very similar to number 2 but ended up being like number one. Great year. I have spent 17 weeks of it on crutches. Allie I know that doesn't account for as long as you but I've got to be catching up at least...









4. Becoming an Aunt from my lil' sissy... isn't he cute!:)





5. I went back to North Dakota to live with four awesome roommates!

6. I changed my major, well decided to double major, in Chemistry and Corporate Fitness. Maybe, if I work hard enough I can pull out Athletic Training too!

7. I also changed my career goals to... I don't know lol I might just get my masters in Exercise Science so I can become an athletic trainer for some school, still my become a Physical Therapist but don't know for sure.











8. I went to Hawaii for basketball!








9. While in Hawaii, I went deep sea fishing for the first time and caught the first and biggest fish!







10. I also went ice fishing for the first time with my adopt a beaver dad and sis! It was awesome! I got a fish kinda... next year well this April or end of March we are going to catch a huge one! hahaha



Okay so there is the top ten list for 08' and now for the new years resolution.... I hope more than anything I can stay healthy at least for a full year of school. I hope this surgery heals well and I can get back onto the court as soon as possible. I also hope to get through this semester of school with good grades, this is the hardest semester yet, but achieveable. Most of all I hope to have fun and enjoy this next year that should be filled with some quite interesting events....

Post Surgery

Sorry I haven't posted for a while life has been pretty cRaZy. I will post pictures of my Hawaii trip on here in no time but I thought I would catch you all up on my surgery info. Well for most of you that knew my MRI said that I was going to have a meniscus repair and maybe a partial ACL repair. Well so much for greater technology. When I came out of surgery the sweet little old nurse said, "Now Honey your ACL was worked on that's why your in so much pain." Remind you I am barely aware of my surroundings so my immediate thought was this sweet old lady has lost her mind and thought I was someone else. Well she didn't she was right. When I finally realize that my college career this year was over, I started freaking out and screaming at her.
"Well what did they replace it with?"
"An akilis"
When she said that I felt my left leg and it was wrapped up in badges, so I began to panic either the stupid doctors had done the wrong leg or they took my akilis off of my left leg either way I was going to kill them.
"FROM WHERE AND WHY IS MY LEG WRAPPED UP? WHERE'S MY MOM I WANT TO SEE HER?" I screamed
"Well Sweetie (at this moment I really wanted to hit her the next time she called me sweetie I was done with the sweet talk give me my pain killers and my information and I would be fine.) I'm not sure let me read your report. Your doctor talked to you already about this."
I was floating on Cloud eleven at that time, I don't remember ANNNYYYTTTHHIIINNNGG...
"The report says it was a cadaver and we are getting you pain killers, I don't know why your leg is wrapped up and no your mom can't come back here yet."
When I heard I couldn't see my mom I about lost it, then two seconds later I was out again cause the drugs took there effect. Except between the time they got me into my hospital room and then, I woke up cried asked for my mom and drugs and fell back asleep. I think they would have felt more sorry for me if I was the actual age I was acting not a 22 drugged up wuss. I finally got got to the room... no mom, still in pain, and still not quite sure why my leg was wrapped up. I later found out I was wrapped for precaution of blood clots, my mom was getting my drugs, and they were now getting a machine to where I would give out my own dosage of pain meds about every ten minutes if needed. I didn't like staying over night cause my male nurse got to help me pee. Pride is not something they hold high in that hospital let a lone modesty. My two new nurses that came around six were idiots. I had to re-wrap myself because apparently she hasn't gone to school and learned that wrapping an ace bandage from top to bottom can actually cause blood clots instead of PREVENTING THEM. All in all though surgery went great, I didn't throw up until the next night which is a great improvement for me and I am learning to get a long with my crutches, pain killers and them don't mix very well but the couch has a nice imprint for me every morning:) I am doing great and recovery is well on its way!
