Sooooooooooo Bored

I wish there was something I could be doing right now. Doctor Grant doesn't even want me to sit up very much. Mostly just laying here, staring at the ceiling.

I keep smelling this really rank smell, too. I think it's coming from one of my neighbors? No real clue though. I guess the nurses are slacking with the sponge baths or something.

Speaking of my neighbors, they're kind weird. One of them has a visitor who just stands there and never says anything to him. Can't see what they're doing because of the privacy curtains.

Bet it's something perverted. Just my luck, right?

Not-Christmas

Looks like the other two covered pretty much everything of explicit importance. The Abilify works as well as the old medication, but I can sleep better now, so that's something. I haven't seen any of the usual riffraff, so that's a bonus! Just sounds on occasion, and nothing all that exciting.

Mr Patterson said that we'd resume tutoring on the eighth, and that he might end up teaching Colin for a bit if he isn't well enough to go to school. To be honest, I'd be okay with spending Christmas up in my room with my schoolwork. I feel like it just isn't the same without you here, Mom, and you know how I feel about some of the family members that are doubtless going to be at Aunt Nellie's... but, like you said, grin and bear it. If that advice doesn't work, I'll be sure to give you a blow-by-blow.

I Hate Ice Chips

But otherwise I'm fine! I'm going to have an awesome scar, I can just tell. Chicks do dig scars, after all.

They won't let me walk around yet, though. I really hate just laying around all day.

But it's going to be so great to get out of here and be able to run around for once. Maybe I can finally take tae kwon do classes? ;)

I'm getting pretty tired again, so I'll leave it at that. Hope you're doing alright down in Houston, Mom.

Colin

Hello Mom.

Lydia, Colin and I decided to make this blog to keep you updated on how we're doing while you're stuck in Houston. I hope the treatments are working out and you're feeling better. We're all doing pretty well here. Colin is recovering from the surgery very nicely and he's expected to be completely fine. Lydia's new medication is working well. Well that's all for now. I hope everything gets better and you come home soon.
