Day One Hundred Seventy One - Recovery Day 44

Today was fun!

Took care of some things earlier but the real fun was this evening. On our way back from town this afternoon, I got a call from grandpa. We talked a bit, then I asked him if he was going to the casino. He asked if I was going, which I was. Then he said he'd meet me there in a while. So, I took Lisa to work then after, I headed straight over and started playing. Grandpa met me over there. I thought it was just him, but when I saw him, he said my grandma was there also.

It was a fun evening. We played and played. I had some really good luck. I won over a hundred bucks at the dollar machines. Grandpa won, but not as much as he usually does. I think his luck wasn't all there today. We were there for a few hours. It was funny, we were holding our breath because grandpa gave me some money to play and they were both behind me watching. I ALMOST won $800 :( Oh man I came so close. If that last Double Diamond landed in the middle...that would've been HUGE!! Oh my gosh, that was so fun though. "come on come on come on...awwwww" was what I heard LOL. We had a blast!

Well that was my Friday! I'm happy I got to spend it with the grandparents. Whether we win or lose, just being with them both is such a blessing. Lots of ppl don't have their grandparents so I truly do cherish the time I spend with mine. I wish I could have met my other grandpa, my dad's dad, but sadly he passed when my dad was still a kid. I always wondered what he was like.

Well, now I'm going to relax and watch me a movie or two, then I gotta go pick up Lisa. I'm gonna surprise her with my wins ;) She doesn't know I won anything. Maybe we'll go to Walmart afterwards and buy some grub to make tonight. Today was a great day!

Day Two Hundred Thirty Three

Did 3 miles this morning again! Feels great. My feet don't hurt. I mean, I'll feel it but it's not painful like when I first started walking after recovery. They hurt so bad after I sat down a while. That was crazy! So now, I feel great and things are much better. Also my right knee hasn't been feeling crappy in a while now. I feel great! I want to start using the Bowflex and getting back to DDP yoga so bad, but I am so afraid. You know, my recovery took longer than expected. I have said this whole time that my recovery ended the last day in October. Well that was not true! Ya that's when the doctor told me that my recovery was over, but that's not when I was feeling better because to this day, I still feel a really weird and sensitive feeling right where my incision was. I mean, it sometimes hurts, like if I lay on my stomach for a while, then roll over to get up. I really feel it and it doesn't feel good. Simetimes it scares me, like I feel like the herni

Day Two Hundred Thirty Five

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!! Omgosh that movie was so good and so sad :'( I'm serious, I was really trying to hold back tears on that one scene. Dang that movie was really good. I think the better than that entire prequel trilogy. I'm looking forward to the next one. Dang we only got a couple hours sleep last night. Lisa and I didn't end up going to bed until almost 2am. Then we had to get up at 5 and meet my family at Dennys at 6am. We actually got there before they did haha. But it was fun! We had some great conversation and laughs at breakfast this morning. Then afterwards, we headed to the Allen 8 theater. We got there just about 7am. The ppl were already lining up. We had to stay outside in the cold for an entire hour. My mom and brother were freezing lol. It was fun though. My dad saw all this work buddies. It was cool seeing him interact with all his friends. Everyone knew him and my mom. Very cool. We had a great time, even thoug

TODAY I GOT A NEW CAR

On Friday night (1.15.2016), my truck died on me :'( Timing belt broke! In other words, dead in the water. That was my Only vehicle and at the time I was looking for work and my best pal, Skye, is starting Nursing School the following Monday. She uses my truck so she was very worried and angry. I told her we needed to be thankful that my old truck lasted all that time and got her to her last day of work. Now me, I was not worried because I knew God was always there. I was scared, however, because of everything especially on Saturday morning when I woke up. So I went out into the field by my place and I prayed. I said to God how thankful I was for His many blessings. I thanked Him for my truck and the time that I had it. Then, I asked Him to please help me in my situation. I put my trust in Him as I always do. That was Saturday morning (1.16.16). Saturday night (1.16.16), my mom called me and asked me to come over to their place. When I did, they talked with me for a bit about a
