Crippled Rampurple: September 2005

Desperate In Bed

The reason I haven't blogged today is because I did not wake until around 1pm. I stayed in bed until my lunch came at 2:30pm, shortly followed by a surprise... Toomz passed by to drop some dvds. Desperate housewives season 1 and sex in the city, season 1 and 2. Therefore, I have been in bed every since watching desperate housewives. I just finished the 8th episode. I took a break from it when Stallion, obliv and friend passed by. Now I got to go continue the season....

Oh and by the way... only one week remains until I go back to work and lead a normal life again.... although I now am starting to enjoy the life of the cave.

Knowing Me Knowing You

No..... not the song!

My friends came over tonight and we played a game called Knowing Me Knowing You. It was real fun playing it and we sort of got to know each other a bit more through this game.

It was a fun night I must say... at least for me. My good friends had a choice to do something else with their Thursday night but they chose to spend time with me... realize I said chose, I did not threaten them or anything and don't believe anything anyone else would tell you.

Thanks JC, Toomz, Mar, Purg, and Obliv.

I got to go now and watch some DVDs mark lent to me... he gave me a deadline!

Online Shopping

So, I am supposed to be getting my ibook next week. Therefore, I decided to start shopping for sleeves for my ibook. I really didn't find anything that wowed me other that foofbags. There stuff is really cool. I really like the inverted urchin, but I guess I will order the purple people eater until the inverted urchin is available in mid-october.

While browsing the net ... and feeling bored ... I decided to check out Dream Kitty. Nibaq had sent me this link once. I like a few of their items but I can't imagine living in Hello Kitty land. I tried imagining Nibaq's car full of Hello Kitty accessories. Hello Kitty sunshades, hello kitty hand brakes, hello kitty rear view mirror, hello kitty phone holder, hello kitty gear, etc and then imagine his bathroom full of hello kitty mats, soap dispensers, shower curtains, trash can, etc THEN imagine his bedroom full of hello kitty stuff as well, like curtains, bed sheets, accessories. The reason I use Nibaq as an example is because he is the only person I know who likes hello kitty more than I do. I wouldn't mind owning a couple of their stuff. I really wouldn't find a hello kitty sleeve for my ibook. Could you imagine foof with a hello kitty design? That would be awesome!

Ode To My Remote Control

Last night, I was watching TV, in bed of course... I moved my covers and the receiver remote fell behind my bed. Usually, I would move my bed or crawl under my bed to reach for it. I knew I couldn't do the same this time. I couldn't call for help either because both my parents have slept already. Therefore, I switched off the television and forced myself to sleep.

I woke up an hour ago. Both parents are not home. I tell myself, it's Ok, mom will be home in a bit. 15 minutes ago, I decided enough waiting. I thought of getting the broomstick and using the stick to move my remote to the side. Next problem was where does my mom place the broom stick? I never do any house chores you see. I decided to go on a hunt for the broom stick. I walked out of my door and found the broom stick right in front of me. I guess mom was using it this morning. I grabbed the broom stick and returned to my room. I got on top of the bed and started slowly moving the remote... damn! it got stuck in an area I can't see and the broom stick can't touch! By this time I was breathing and panting heavily. That must have been the most effort I have done all week.

I called mom, she said she needed another half an hour to get home. I told her my dilemma. She ordered me to "put everything down and walk away! I repeat walk away!" Go watch tv in the living room!

Sigh.... is this what has become of my life?

10 days left

I just realized I had my car accident exactly one week ago and still have to stay home for another 10 days!!!

Crippled Active

Today I have so much energy in me it's not funny. I stayed in bed from 11 am (when I woke up) until around 4pm. I did get up for lunch though. At 4 I got this weird amount of energy. I got up and started to try to find little things I could do. Things I wouldn't do before, such as put my clothes away, do the dishes, etc. My back has been in pain though.

I had a little meeting with my colleagues at home at around 6pm. I had to settle a few things at work.

Then Mar passed by and I couldn't sit up anymore, so I ended up lying down a bit while she was here. After she left, I came up to my room and watched some TV. I relaxed a little bit. BUT I got hungry! I felt like some shawerma but my dad didn't go to Dodo to get me some... so I decided to fry some eggs. My mom came to the kitchen, and to her surprise, I had fried eggs, eaten them, and washed the dishes.

Now, I am up in my room again. I am home alone and I have convinced myself to just lie down and watch a movie. (Let's see how long that will last for!)

The strange thing is that I AM in pain but I can't sit still! It's really frustrating.

So... erm .. yeah

So... yeah... yesterday I stayed home. I stared at my ceiling, I stared at the TV, I stared out of my window.

At around 8, toomz passed by, a few other friends joined in, and late as usual JC passed by later on.

I been sleeping early. You think I was exhausted from a long day or something. By maximum, 1 am my eyes start to shut and I don't seem to wake up before 10 or 11 am.

Last night, while sleeping, my back and right leg really started to hurt me int he disturbing type of way.... not the ouch type of way.

Mad At The World

I woke up in the morning in a bad mood. I am mad at the world.
I had to go to the police station, where I left furious and in tears. I got madder.
I passed by the office to check up on things and realized things are in order and got mad that I have been being briefed like the world was coming to an end.

I am tired. I am heading to bed. Will watch TV, watch a movie, do some coloring and forget that the outside world exists.

Update on May Chidiac

Her left leg and left arm have been amputated. She also is suffering from several burns and fractures in her body.

She seems to be a fighter.... May God be with her.

Finding Neverland

I really liked watching it. When it first started I got bored, but the movie was actually good. Goosebumps, magical and all.

Catching up with movies

It's been a long time since I watched DVDs. I never have time to do so. Well, now I have plenty of time. I watched Team America this afternoon. I don't know how to feel about it. It's sort of funny but that whole patriotic, stereotypical movie sort of thing annoys me nowadays.

Fadibou, mar and a couple of other friends passed by for a while. They just left and I doubt anyone else is coming tonight. Dad's watching the reports on the latest explosion in Lebanon. It doesn't make sense to me... why her? Why May Chidiac?

Anyways, I will watch Finding Neverland now (thanks Toomz). I got my butter popcorn ready and waiting for me....

Now that he's gone

Now that Patrick has left, my mom moved back my tv, sound system, dvd player. Most of these stuff are his and I use when he is away. She also moved his bed into my room and made it look like a couch. This way my friends can be comfier and we can watch dvds in my room.

Day 2

I am a lot more tired today then I have been the past few days. I am in some pain and I will go lie down in bed for a few more hours now.

My brother, patrick, travelled today. He was here for 3 months and I had gotten adjusted to hanging out together. I will miss him when he is gone.

Friends

It is nice having my friends over on a daily basis. They keep me company and time flies by when they are around. They really are the only human contact I have lol. It's neat seeing my parents getting aquainted with my friends as well. They hadn't met most of them before.

My colleague passed by tonight as well. I didn't receive any good news about work. Now I am more worried. I should learn how to chill but I just can't!

*Sigh*

Ice Cream

I'm bored, I'm in pain, I'm tired, and I am craving ice cream.

Frustrated & Crippled

This is nerve wrecking. I am in bed and continuously on the phone with the office or with clients. I am such a control freak... I want to be at the office doing my own work. No one can do my work the way I do it.

Please keep in mind, it frustrates me to feel useless in bed. I also haven't had any nicotine or caffeine intake since Thursday morning.

My ex-fiance had the nerves to call me today. I didn't realize it was him and picked up the phone... when I knew it was him, I told him off and shut the phone.

There's nothing on TV. The neck brace and belt are suffocating me. I been coloring all day.

Day 1

Today is my first day off from work. I went to the hospital in the morning, on my way back I passed by the office for a while. I am extremely worried about the work in the office and I feel like no one else can take care of the work like I would. That simply is too much stress and pressure on me.

The accident happened on Tuesday while I was leaving the office. The ironic part is that it was the first time in weeks that I leave work on time. I was around 50 meters away from the office, where I stopped at an intersection to check if I can get way, when a speeding car crashes into me ... from the front...

When I went to the hospital later on that evening, the doctor told me all I got is whiplash but the pain was too strong for whiplash, yet he insisted. I went home, and went to work the next day with a neck brace on. I was in a lot of pain that I returned home at 1. I went to sleep and woke up at 5 still in so much pain. I returned to the hospital, there was a different doctor who requested a different xray. The L4 in my spine has a crack in it. He transferred me to Al Razi hospital... but told me I have to wait until Saturday. I got injected with a painkiller and a muscle relaxant and was given pills.

I couldn't wait until Saturday since I was in a lot of pain. So dad called someone he knows at Al Razi and we went there Wednesday at midnight. I got more xrays done and they agreed the L4 has a crack on the right side and I have major whiplash at the neck. The doctor's orders was to stay in bed for at least 3 weeks and informed me the crack needs 5 to 6 weeks to heal. The idea of staying home for 3 weeks freaked me out! I bargained down to 2 weeks lol

Thursday, I went to work since I had a major presentation. I returned home at 1 and been in intensive care by my parents since. Mar came over in the afternoon to entertain me and got me the cutest gifts! Crayola coloring book, markers, friendship bracelets, activities box, chocolate, and a pillow. I swear these stuff have been keeping company ever since. Later on that evening, nibaq, toomz, jc, and a few non-blogger friends of mine passed by to keep me company.

Yesterday, I was home all day as well. A few friends passed by in the afternoon to entertain me, then JC arrived, and later my parents friends.

I hope these 2 weeks will pass by without me getting a nervous breakdown.
