Oops...lost track of the days!

It's been awhile since I've posted! I've recovered from my disappointment at Clemson losing in baseball...now my attention can be fully and completely directed to the MOST important sport at Clemson (not necessarily the only important sport, just the most important of the sports)...namely, Clemson FOOTBALL! Kickoff in 77 days...about 71 days too far away because as I learned last year at Clemson, the week prior to the first football game is such a build-up that is too exciting beyond words. I think I wore orange every day that week...but those who know me know that's not necessarily a hard thing for me to do!

But, this isn't a blog about Clemson athletics, or my undying loyalty to the university...

I'm getting better. I still have a bit of dizziness, but in the last three days or so it's been moderate enough that I've been able to get out of the house and do a few things. It started last Sunday with Meredith coming to visit...a group of us went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. It wore me out, but at least I knew I could get out of the house more. In the last week I've actually driven to Moe's (which isn't that far from my house) for a tasty Joe Burrito. On Tuesday, I was thrilled to have Bill and Betsy, our PSA leaders from Clemson, come down for a visit. We managed to go out to eat at Shem Creek Bar and Grill. The next day I managed to get a ride to Kickin Chicken for a college youth group thing that our church has recently started up. That went great, just a bit of dizziness and it was nice for others to see that I'm actually able to get out a little more. Today, I went fishing. Got rained on and didn't catch anything, but it was a lot of fun and a perfect way to get out without having to deal with the dizziness from walking around. In any event, hopefully the activity will make the dizziness go away. At least it's not bad enough that I can't do stuff, I can probably drive again, just better to be on the safe side!

My hook-up with the implant is on the 28th...definitely looking forward to that. The hair on my head is beginning to grow back, and I'm no longer conscious about it in public. I used to try and wear a hat (which hurt the stitches), but now I just go out with complete disregard for others noticing it, which is a good thing. I even forget about it, because I saw someone I knew in high school who did not know about the surgery and he was like, what the heck is that!? Took me a few seconds to figure out he was talking about the missing patch of hair and humongous scar on the back of my head.

So, in all, things are looking better for me...now, I can only hope, and pray, that I will be saying the same a few weeks after June 28th!
