Hey, Its now been a week and a half since my surgery and I'm finally making the progress I was hoping for. Moving around is so much easier, but more importantly I can get up and down without hardly any effort. The only bad thing is that I have been fighting a cold for the past few days, which normally wouldn't be bad except that coughing right now is excruciating. I have been trying to carefully ease the phlegm up with little coughs (that sound soooo fake lol), but it isn't working now, so I have a really nice rattle in my chest. I've been popping 1000mg of Vit C 4 x a day in hopes to fight the cold, unfortunetly I think I need to expel the stuff in my lungs. Anyways, other than that i feel wonderful. I just want to say thank you again to all of you that sent well wishes, it really made me feel loved!!

I still have another 5 glorious weeks off of work, and after 4 off so far it's gonna be real hard to get back to work! Unless.......I may have an opportunity for a job that I have been wanting very bad for the past year. Awesome pay ($23.11/hr) with benefits!! So all keep you fingers crossed that I will be going back to work at the mine, not the store!!
