I am in alot of pain today but it is disipating. Im trying to go all day without oxycontin, but Im afraid Im not going to make it. I will wait for dinner than take one and crash out. I have never laid in bed like this ever!  I am bored! I have Direct Tv with nothing but commercials! Here are a few photos from Salem.

I was in extreme pain and groggy yesterday and this morning.  I weighed myself this morning and Im at 143.7!  I am taking on water weight. I feel like Im filling up like a water balloon.  Im to my official heaviest weight of my life. I took my bandages off and there is a significant amount of bruiesing and bleeding.  I will go check on my work and then take some pain pills. 

 

 

 Here is a photo in Salem Massachusetts with Samantha on Bewitched.  Can you believe, the townspeople actually were angered when they put this bronze statue up of her because she is considered a fake witch.

Ok so I went to work this morning very groggy and had to get a few things for my guys. It was raining so I waited to see if it would stop and it got worse. So I called off work and sent everyone home including myself. I had a horrible nights sleep last night and would relate it closely to any Jeff Bridges movie. I was extremely paranoid and felt like someone was out to get me. I havnt taken any pills today and am coming off of the effects they have. NOT GOOD! What happened to the easy days of running and going to work.

I had a fever last night so decided not to take anymore pain medicince. I took Tylenol to get my fever down and woke up around 3 am in extreme pain. I took an Ibuprophen 800 and was able to sleep again.  Due to the crappy weather, I was able to call off another day of concrete work. I will rest and try to get my fever down. I seem to be able to stand straight up now but with pain. I cant wait till I can start walking without pain. Then you know what will happen after that!   Cheers all!

My life is so boring I wish I could tell everyone I ran this many miles or that many miles but it would be a lie. Sorry for letting you down. I try to pump my friends spirits up and likewise.  

Ive finally been able to get up and drive around today and went and picked up my desktop from the ripoff place that screwed me over royaly on my laptop and now wants me to pay 450 more dollars to fix my desktop that was supposedly warrateed by them. Wrongo!  I will never buy from them ever and would suggest anyone who is looking for a deal not deal with them at all! I dont know if I put there name on here if I would get into trouble so Ill tell you "because we love you!" Is not a great slogan for them to have.  They know if they have to come up with a 100 dollar loss they wont deal with you, but if they can screw you out of 450 then its fine. Im fed up. So I have a desktop with Im assuming a blown hard drive or mother board or whatever you call it and no where to go.  If anyone out there has parts to fit this POS then let me know. Im not in the mood for anymore crap to go wrong with my life at this point.  With that said, I will now go lay down and get my blood pressure down. lol

 

The days of doing this are gone for several months now! Oh well.

On a sadder note, I found out that my neighbor passed away at a very young age of 28 on my street here in SJ!  Her name is Brooke Jarret and her obituary is in the Des news or tribune. Very sad! She had a very good life! Knew alot of people. www.legacy.com/deseretnews/obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=119726129 

 I know that the personal pain she was going through  is over for her but yet it sadens me at how young she was.  Her Dad is a great man! In fact, he is an O.B. and came into my room before I got my surgery to talk me.  Very nice of him to do that. Then He made my bishop aware of my surgery and they were there  at my house the night I was home from the hospital. It is a short time for us to do things here on earth and death seams to always humble me.

GO UTES! wow what a great game that was last night! Im sorry if your a Y fan right now but you had the chance to put TCU away, actually you didnt but next time hopefully you will. We did it, We did it in style and it wasnt pretty, but we got it done, and they will now fall out of the ranks and the utes will go undefeated and it just makes that blue and red game in a couple of saturdays that much better. By the way I will go even if i still cant stand! I will get special permission for a hospital bed if I  have to! lol  As for that provo team down there, they better start stepping it up because there will be blood! Blue blood! lol  The Utes are going to make you bleed your own blood!  yeah!

More of the same pain, nothing special in my life. I walked from my truck to the church to watch my girls play Volleyball and ended up watching 4 games! I rested the majority of Sat. and all day Sunday.  I did make it to church and so I have a walk from my truck to inside. 1 hour of church and a walk back to my truck. Then collasped on my bed for the rest of Sunday.  I did watch Kill Bill 1 and 2!  Kungfublonde and Montelepsy eat your hearts out!? 

Oh I am completely off of the Oxycontin and was able to manage to only do half the bottle. Crud that is some drug!

I don't know what to say. I feel inadequate in blogging when I should be running. I feel like I need to stay connected or I will get lazy when I get the green light to get back to it.

I need to make a new entry today. Even if it is endless nonsense. I did manage to get Twilight tickets tonight at 10:15 at the district. It wasnt easy, I think we barely managed to get them. Some people were getting them weeks in advance. I dont know how they did it.  It better be one dang good movie.

Go Utes! 48-24 over BYU! Utah is ranked #7 going into yesterdays game. Byu was 14th. It was a hard fought game and didnt look good there because every time Utah got a good lead, Byu came back!  It was a war even before the game started. It looked like they were going to brawl and of corse that is what the fans wanted.  BYU had Utah on their heels in the 3rd quarter and Utah came back to annililate them in the 4th. Thank goodness for the Utes defense. that puts our utes with a record of 12-0! That could very well put them into the top 6 in the BCS polls. Thanks to a butt kicking that #2 Texas Tech got yesterday. Either way the utes are going to a major Bowl game this year!
