These past few days I have been reading the posts and the private messages and the cards that I P.J. and my family brought me.
I would first like to thank all of you so very much, it has made a great impact on me and my new chance at life. I am grateful to still be here because from what I have been told, I almost wasn't (my heart stopped beating for about 45 seconds when I first arrived at the emergency room).
I have received many letters and cards in the mail and I would also like to thank all of you that sent one. I kind of feel bad that you did, I know they don't cost much, but we are all still broke college students (well most of us are). I would also like to thank all of you that have been thinking of me, praying for me and also sending your kind words my way.
I can't really describe how I feel emotionally right now, but I am kind of at ease. I guess considering everything that I have been through, i thought that this might hurt me more, but I've learned to keep on 'truckin." Physically, I am a wreck (no pun intended). I am in a lot of pain and it's hard to move my chest and right arm (so this is taking quite a while to type). Other small things keep coming up, and I have experienced pain in my right knee these past few days. I'm assuming that it might be my ACL, I may have injured it again since the first time it was injured back in h.s.
I hate being in the hospital and I want to get out of here, but I don't know how long I have to stay. I don't think I'll be getting out anytime soon. They are keeping me under observations for my breathing and other small things, but these are the reasons that I am being kept here. My chest is bruised to no end, and I have cuts and bruises and scrapes all over my body. I'm still sore and aching from the accident and I feel like i'm a seventy-year-old man suffering from arthritis.
I still have a long way to go, but I will get there, and this here laptop will at least allow me to not parish from boredom when I'm actually awake
