A Week in Perspective

I meant to make this post towards the end of spring break, but I lost motivation. The next week is as good as any. Well my week was filled with countless mornings without sleep and doctor appointments all to heal little ol’ me. My first doctor appointment was just a bust.

I was really bummed because I still didn’t have a straight answer, and that feeling was only eased slightly by my next appointment. ...

I mean there are millions and dare I say billions of people who are on different types of social networking sites. They can range from Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Blogger, and whatever ones are going around now. We live in a large part of the technology age where we’re allowed to keep in touch with people through the internet. It’s crazy. ...

Injury Update - Positive Things

With 2011 upon us, I thought it’d be a good thing to write about how well my recovery is going so far. The pain in my leg has become very minimal, so I’m able to walk around without too much pain. Thankfully with all the research I have been doing, I am able to do certain stretches and exercises that help rehabilitate and strengthen certain muscles in my legs. ...
