Wow, been awhile since I've said anything on here.  Life has a way of getting in the way.  I got my tattoo that was in the works last time I posted on here.  Got papa smurf on my left arm.  He's in an army uniform holding an orange rose.  There is room for another tattoo which I hopefully won't be getting anytime soon since it would mean my Mom has passed. 

Next month, I am hoping to get another one (or two).  I know what I want an where I want it.. just gotta get it.

Well, another year older.  It doesn't feel any different. 

I am working on getting more tattoos.  So far I have four planned with one planned for the future.  I think I might have just overwhelmed the friend who is setting up the tattoos for me.  I'm getting them from a friend of a friend.  I have seen his artwork which is why I am willing to go this way.  Plus, I feel safe doing it this way.  He is very clean.  But I was telling my friend the tattoos I want, and he was like, woooah, one at a time please.  Let me get ahold of the artist before you bombard me with all the ones you want.  I know the first one I am getting though.  After that, who knows which one will be next.  I am getting one to honor my father who passed away.  After that, who knows.  I want so many I have to figure out which one is more important.  All my tattoos have meaning for me.  Well... almost all of them.  Some I just really like. 

Snow today.. was hoping that was done, but knew it wouldn't be.  But on the plus side, I was finally able to go out and shovel without worry.'  I am so happy to KNOW that the surgery I had was a success. 

Went and had the knee checked out because I went to work yesterday and made it three hours before the pain got to the point where I couldn't handle it any longer, and that takes a lot of pain to get to that point. 

So, I went to the surgeon who did the surgery, and had a few more xrays done.  I didn't break anything, or chip anything (YAY).  He doesn't think I tore the graft I had done (had a tendon replaced) because I should be in a lot more pain than I am if I did.  So he agreed with the urgent care doctor on I just bruised the bone.  Off work a few more days, but regretfully only till Friday.  Can't afford to be off work any longer, but I am so happy it isn't a lot worse.

At work today for a whole half hour.  Was doing my job, and went and slipped on the ice.  Of course, I have to land straight down on my knee that I just had surgery on.  I really didn't want to miss work but I'm now off till Monday.  I'm in a pretty good amount of pain, but dealing with it like I always do.  I was told it was just bruised real good.  It had me worried though because of just having major surgery done four months ago, I wasn't sure if I damaged anything.  I didn't think I did, didn't feel like it, but yeah, still had me worried. 

Well, It's been awhile since I have been able to get on here.  Things have been busy the last few weeks.  I ended up having to extend my physical therapy for surgery I had done a little over three months ago on my knee.  I was supposed to be done with it.  I got to a point where everyone was happy with, but they didn't expect the muscles to be as weak as they were when they did the surgery, so I am continueing the strength training of those muscles.  It is not something I am enjoying, not in the least, but it is something that needs to be done.
