i feel wierd

on thursday of this week, i feel down a set of stairs and injured myself...it wasn't a small fall, i think there were 7 stairs and i fell down them all....i was wearing regular shoes, nothing fancy, but hit the stairs the right way and down i went....it was scary...i couldn't breathe....it felt like hours before i got my breath back....it wasn't that long, but for a good while i sat outside on the stairs making an awful noise trying to figure out if i would ever breath again....two very nice students came over and helped me and were patient with me as i told them no ambulance....to make the story shorter, i got to the walk in, thanks to my supervisor....everyone let me refuse the ambulance, as i sat there all i could think is that bad things happen when someone is in the ambulance...i can't get in one....the walk in determined i broke nothing but i had injured my back badly and needed to stay in the lay down position for 7 days....i told the doctor no way 7 days....but he maybe right....

so, why do i feel wierd? well, pain meds aside, for the first time that i can remember, i have had to ask for an extension on a test for school....yes, i have a quiz this week and the pain is so bad that i could not make the drive to albany....i can't even sit up long enough to eat, could you imagine a 2 hour drive, 6 hours of classes, and then 2 more hours home? since friday i have been communicating with the professor, explaining what happened and how my recovering has been...i am thankful that she understands and is going to let me make up the quiz later....i still feel wierd about this....

i also feel wierd because in my other class my group and i have to present on dec 1....that is just a week away and we have been less than productive lately....so, here i am not able to get to albany tomorrow....i am hoping that they will be willing to talk with me over the computer or something during class....i have been working on my part of the project, but i also have been on pain meds...so, who knows if it all makes sense....i just hope the group is understanding....and the professor....

i go for a follow up with the doctor on tuesday....i hope by then that i am feeling better....that i can sit for longer than a meal....especially since i want to go see the family for thanksgiving....i don't really want to be stuck in bingo for the holiday....but if it happens, then it happens....it won't be so wierd.
