Legoless says:
Hey Sus, I see your Mom brought you your laptop
SusieQ says:
yeah, it's not like I can do anything else
SusieQ says:
but lay here and stare at the ceiling
SusieQ says:
I'm so frusterated
Legoless says:
I can imagine
SusieQ says:
things were going well, then I had to go and screwed everything up
Legoless says:
how did you do that?
SusieQ says:
I was getting into my chair from a dining chair and it rolled out from under me
Legoless says:
ugh I am sorry to hear that, but that wasnt your fault
SusieQ says:
it had been a long day, so I was using my chair
Legoless says:
yeah I know I have to do that now too, because if I dont when I am overly tired, I ended up hurting myself
SusieQ says:
well, that's how this happened
SusieQ says:
I forgot to lock the breaks
Legoless says:
But I am glad I can use my prosthetic agains
Legoless says:
prosthetics again
Legoless says:
even
Legoless says:
yeah thats not good, but Mom did that the other day too, and ended up falling, but she wasnt hurt other than a few bruises thankfully
Legoless says:
you want in on a secret?
SusieQ says:
well, stupid me broke my pelvis in 4 places
Legoless says:
OUCH Is all I have to sa
Legoless says:
y
SusieQ says:
they went in and put plates and screws in today
Legoless says:
ugh
SusieQ says:
I have an incision from one hip to the other
Legoless says:
I saw it earlier remember it does not look like fun
SusieQ says:
and then they put me back in the cast
SusieQ says:
mom is just beside herself
Legoless says:
I know
SusieQ says:
we aren't going to be able to go home until after I am out of the cast
Legoless says:
Mom is worried about your Mom she is afraid she is reaching her breaking point
SusieQ says:
yeah, I am too
Legoless says:
I know
Legoless says:
I want to do more to help you, I feel like a lousy friend
SusieQ says:
you aren't
SusieQ says:
I'm a lousy person
Legoless says:
no you arent Sus
SusieQ says:
I feel like it
Legoless says:
God doesnt make trash
SusieQ says:
I didn't say I was trash, just lousy
Legoless says:
he doesnt make lousy either
Legoless says:
Did you read about that thirteen year old girl who killed herself because some idiots at myspace were playing mind games with her?
SusieQ says:
yeah, I did
Legoless says:
It makes me wonder how anyone could be so cruel
SusieQ says:
I know
SusieQ says:
but we live in a mean world
Legoless says:
I know
SusieQ says:
I really hate it sometimes
Legoless says:
Did you want in on my secret?
SusieQ says:
sure
Legoless says:
I have been dancing again, Sasha was working with me before she had her flare, and I was going to dance for everyone during our Hannukah and Christmas celebrations
SusieQ says:
that's great
SusieQ says:
it's too bad she ended up in the hospital
Legoless says:
yeah I know i have to be careful, but I am being
Legoless says:
I know she had that flare and told no one
Legoless says:
Isn't she sharing a room with you now?
SusieQ says:
she's so scared of letting anyone down
Legoless says:
a hospital room?
SusieQ says:
oh, yeah
SusieQ says:
she's here
SusieQ says:
hasn't said much since she came to the hospital
SusieQ says:
Kate wanted to stay w. her, but Aunt Kendra wouldn't let her
Legoless says:
Yeah I know
SusieQ says:
and Kate left here in tears
Legoless says:
I was there, but that isnt like Kate
Legoless says:
she does not cry easily
SusieQ says:
she seems to have really attached to Sasah
SusieQ says:
Sasha
Legoless says:
she is, she feels more free around Sasha
Legoless says:
I think its because Sasha tries not to treat her any differently
SusieQ says:
I think so too
SusieQ says:
Sasha has her own inadaquecies, and I think that helps her understand Kate, better than some people
Legoless says:
yeah
SusieQ says:
you got quiet all of a sudden
Legoless says:
Kates amazing though, so bright she seems more like someone thirty than ten
Legoless says:
sorry you know that novel writting contest for Nanowrimo?
SusieQ says:
yeah
Legoless says:
I am working on a novel for that
Legoless says:
I only have a little over ten thousand words and we need to have fifty thousand completed by the thirtieth of November
SusieQ says:
ok
SusieQ says:
all our holiday plans went down the drain
Legoless says:
we can still hang out
Legoless says:
Mom is trying to get the okay from your doctors for me to spend some time at the hospital with you, overnight stays
SusieQ says:
yeah, I am going to be here a while
SusieQ says:
over Thanksgiving at least
Legoless says:
yeah Mom is going to move the party to the hospital
SusieQ says:
and it will probably be early December before I get out of here
Legoless says:
be ready to be swarmed Aunt Kendra is going to have most of her kids home
SusieQ says:
oh goodness
Legoless says:
yeah but Mom is making her Greenbean and Broccoli Casseroles, and some special stuff for you, which I am sure will be good, you know how good of a cook she is
SusieQ says:
yeah, I wish I could be there
Legoless says:
you are we are bringing it to you
SusieQ says:
really?
Legoless says:
yeah
SusieQ says:
wow
SusieQ says:
my uncle has been coming by when Mom isn't here
Legoless says:
Mom doesnt want you to miss out on any of it
Legoless says:
how are you two getting along?
SusieQ says:
well, if we cause that much stress for him, I don't blame him for wanting to cut ties, the odd thing is he doesn't seem to want to do that
Legoless says:
Mamma felt he wasnt going to want to
Legoless says:
you up to company tonight?
SusieQ says:
sure
Legoless says:
Mom said they said it was okay if I slept at the hospital in a cot in your room and your Mom is going to come to our house, Mamma is worried about her, she looks exhausted
Legoless says:
when we saw her earlier it was evident in her eyes
SusieQ says:
yeah, she is making herself sick here
Legoless says:
Dady is going to drive me over there now, and Mom of course, he just doesnt want her driving right now, she gets so tired at night
SusieQ says:
at least she doesn't blame my uncle
SusieQ says:
ok, I will see you in a bit.
Legoless says:
yeah you want me to bring my DVDS And my laptop so we can watch movies?
SusieQ says:
