Good News, Pinched Nerves and Computer Failures


Phantom

Okay, to start off on a positive note, I had my one year anniversery with Matt over the weekend where we did a whole bunch of things and he got me one of the cutest thigns ever, a fishey (and the tank, food, etc.). I decided to name my fish Sushi because I love irony of late :P and thought it would be in good taste (no pun intended).

 

Also I got to be a computer genius by helping my sister connect to the internet (our router was FUBARED dunno why, but it's not my fault! I SWEAR! :P ) from memory. (Someone messed with the settings and turned the SSID brodcast off... I blame mom ;) so now they can connect though my genius :P )

 

Now, yesterday I started to get some weird sensations in my leg, like it was falling asleep but not quite. There was a lack of sensation to it (kinda hard to feel anythihng) and it was very stiff and tense. I thought I just pulled a muscle or something until I started to walk around on it to loosen it up when I fell because it gave out. That scared the HELL outta me, so I went to the VNA clinic by me to get it checked out, and thankfully, its nothing to serious. I messed up a nerve in it and that's why its so messed up. The doc told me lots of alternating heat and cold, and some Ibuprofen incase theres any swelling. So far, it's going well and I even get to use a cane till it gets better. To be honest, I think I just caught the oldness from Trebs :P (ducking his incoming THWAP)

 

Secondly, I'm sad to say that my laptop that I got three years ago died today at work. The motherboard failed on me and I'm now without one, so I'm down to using my desktop at home. It's not a pain really because I do have my desktop, but I do have a lot of memories (along with blood sweat and tears) that go along with it. I got it three years ago as a welcome home present from my stay in the hospital and I've always had it with me since. Lately, I've been using it more and more for school (lots of online labs to do) but tonight at work, it finally died. I noticed something weird with it when windows was acting funny by saying all sorts of stuff was disconected. My first thought was I had a virus messing with things, so I backed up everything that was important to my flash drive that I always have on me. I turn it off and turn it back in to log into safe mode to fix it, but when I did, it wouldn't go past the POST screen and displaed a whole bunch of errors. Basically my laptop is dead so now I'm down to just my desktop.

 

Well, this is a mix of good and bad news, so bleh. In any case, I blame the laptop dying on C James cus I was reading LTMP over again. Darn you Goat!!!!

but over all, your blog 'sounds' happy and content. :)

Sushi is a funny name for a fish :P and being a computer genius is always fun ^^

Good luck with your leg, hope it gets better soon!

And well.... computers always have the worst timing of dying.... (Last night my mouse reciever of one month died on me so now I'm unable to play games.... :/ )

Don't let Eric lie to you people.. his pinched nerve is an *SRI.. :P And his computer died because he can't leave it alone... a computer can only take so much tinkering before they explode...
