hearing aid: music from the '70s, and boys in the workshop playing with their toys tools.

it's been 16 weeks + 1 day since my epic accident, and i'm doing ... alright. i have good days and bad days. lately, it's more the latter, which i can probably attribute to the fact that i've been out of physio for 10 weeks now and i admit that i've been slipping in keeping up with my exercises (1 hr, twice a day).

my back's been like the little kid who incessantly yanks on your arm to go play with them. ugh. let's just say T3 and naproxen are in my make-up bag, and are my friends i keep at bay until absolutely necessary.


it's like a super-imposed STOP sign in your life, and though you're revving to get out onto the major road, your car isn't ready yet and idling.


on a side note, here's what's my summer's been like:

... vancouver trip #1 - end of exams
... accident
... extended vancouver trip #1.5
... physio, physio, physio
... i hearts my new ride
... vancouver road trip #2
... physio, physio
... tampa, florida - alpha gam convention + holiday
... end of physio
... vancouver trip #3
... hello little brother
... hello little niece
... hello mom, hello sis
... vancouver road trip #4 - ongoing

what's coming up
... road trip back to calgary - with mom and sis
... edmonton - alpha gam retreat
... wicked birthday bashes
... romantic dates with mi amor
... UTAH - family road trip, where i'm looking forward to hot air ballooning.

and come Sept 7, SCHOOL! i can't wait (: more so, i can't wait to get my life going again. mom says i might not be absolutely ready for it, cos the fact that i fractured my spine should put me out of commission for a year, so not to take it too hard on myself.

i've learnt that i'm bad for sticking to/under the limits. i like to push.
