This may be my last post...........

before my surgery.

First off, let me tell you something. You have no reason to envy me or to be jealous of me. I get virtually *nothing* out of this whole back surgery deal. I still have all my school work to do (in less time, mind you) when I feel better, it'll prolly fuck any chance I have to pass my AP tests (I feel like I'm borderline already), I can't fly, I have nothing to do but lay on the couch/my bed for 3 months (give or take), I have no work capability (and thus no money), and on top of all that, I have a shitload of pain and suffering to deal with.

The only thing I can see is a few inches and a reduced SEAP, and I guess Physics is gone scott-free. I would rather go back to how things were.......but that's not my choice........so I guess I'll just have to do the best that I can with what I have. How's that for a pragmatic view?

I guess i'll just have to deal with all of this one step at a time, with my family and friends behind me (in case I need them).............and we'll go from there, ok? Expect a "I'm painfully bored" post as soon as I'm physically able
