Physio didn't change BOTH dials... at least, that's what I think. Ended up having to adjust one of the dials myself. It feels so odd not having my foot in plantarflexion.

Today my brother wanted to use my laptop. Note: he has a tendency to throw stuff and lick screens so naturally, I closed my laptop and said no. Brother simply runs out of the room. Five minutes later, mum finds him on my sister's laptop, looking up youtube videos of Blue's Clues. Further note: my brother has Down Syndrome and he's autistic.
Brother for the win.

Physio changed my CAM walker to neutral... an improvement, I suppose. Means I can put my two feet side by side finally.


fdljksdfkjdsf I want to walk. Especially since I'm being fed so well, I need to get myself moving again otherwise I'm going to look like a fat turd on two skinny atrophied legs.

Aaaargh! I reaaaaally wish I hadn't looked up spoilers for Mass Effect 3 :( Of course, I will think the very opposite, should E. choose not to play it with me in April.

But hmmm :(((((((((( Bioware, why did you have to kill off TWO of my FAVOURITE characters?!

Note to self: tell E. about the Mass Effect 2 DLC - Arrival

Was slightly disappointed when E. said he didn't want to talk because he was tired.

Got used to it after a moment.

E. said he'd call tomorrow from the airport.

Both suddenly had an "Oh, shit" moment when we realised that it was not going to be offpeak hours.

Decided to give up the rest of my minutes.

Utterly satisfied when E. said he was seriously considering coming back down south before starting med school for the year.

Brilliant idea: hiding deer tendons in wontons. Now I will happily eat them without gagging.

My year in retrospect...

It began and I really didn't have great expectations for it, probably because I had just had my heart broken.
I didn't really look forward to anything. But it turned out that I had some pretty awesome friends who I really came to know and love. Those nights staying up finishing that damned elective project - I'm really going to cherish, even though I probably didn't look it at the time.
I also discovered my love for coffee and cinnamon pinwheels, cheesecake and Modaks pizza. And clothes. Oh, countless amounts of clothes.
I had my ego battered and torn, and sank into a hole when it came to finding a job post graduation. I had to trust God on that one. Still have to.
Broke my Achilles... that probably complicated the year the most. Still does. But looking back, I am so glad that it happened... it let me see how much my family cares for me. And most importantly, I got to spend a month with someone who truly friggin loves me and now, we can maaaaybe, just maybe, start planning our future together. And that's probably the best present that 2011 has given me.
