here's what i wrote to my bff just now who was good enough to be concerned about me:
"i really am in good spirits simply simply b/c i survived. for a split second immediately after the fall, i actually thought i had died. i couldn't see anything but i knew something really bad had happened. after everything did come into focus, i realized that there was a glass table a few feet from where i had landed and in another corner, crates of empty beer bottles. if i had landed in either of those places, i probably wouldn't be as lucky. or if i hadn't tried to run across the roof as it was collapsing, i probably would have landed on my tail bone.
so with all these "what-ifs," i am in good spirits b/c i'm not paralyzed or anything worst. today is a really good day esp b/c after finding out that my hip wasn't broken, the drs prescribed me some anti-inflamatory meds. i took some last night and it's like a miracle drug. i woke up painfree and i'm able to walk!
i felt so good that i'm now sitting in the pc office working. i'm applying for a another grant to start the student soup kitchen. the previos grant i applied for didn't pan out b/c it was through an organization that aided small businesses. and although i tried to argue that a soup kitchen constitutes as a business where goods and services were exchanged, it was a no-go. so now i feel really motivated to do some good work in the remaining time that i have here.
i have always felt incredibly lucky to be serving in the pc, but now, even more so. i am doing something that i have always wanted to do since i was in high school! and i have no doubt that when i get back to site that people will help me out."
The worst thing right now is probably the itching. but unfortunately i can't jab something in my cast to scratch it b/c of the stitches. grr...
