Not much has happened today. They did, however, pull a five inch tube out of my head that was there to drain my spinal fluid. The more I lay here in bed the more I want Glen Junction for three meals a day.

Although it was a mellow day, I walked around the hospital twice without falling. I even went on my first adventure by myself. I am still yet to have stepped outside in the last four and a half weeks. I can’t wait for fresh air Conor farts and claims that he’s trying to be the catalyst to get him outside, but Danny is waiting for his ice cream.

I was really pulling for Pandora but it looks like I’m headed to NH. It will be awesome to see all my good friends and family. Hopefully all my friends are prepared to make me some nice home cooked meals.

I’m now going to answer some questions:

Question Number 1

Annie: Here is my question – what is the first thing you are going to do when you are out of the hospital

a) makeout with Michelle

b) crack a brew

c) take a shower

d) all of the above

Answer: I’ve already made out with Michelle c) Take a shower.

Questions Number 2

Anonymous: Can danny speak now?

Answer: Seeing as though I dictated last night’s post to Conor, the answer is yes and today I am still able to speak.

Questions Number 3

Alex Ware: Would you feel better about bathing if it was in the hands of a 25 year old babe?

Answer: Yes, I would feel much better about that compared to a 50 year old woman who is dying to bathe me. For real it was creepy.

This hospital food isn’t cuttin’ it. Neither is being tube fed through my stomach. My dinner just arrived and I am going to go mow now.

Catch ya on the flip side

(Dictated by Danny to Conor) before you read this I want to make sure people know that Danny wanted his admin name to be DCTrauma and he wanted his category for posting to be DCTrauma Spills All. Those were his ideas, I wish I could take credit for such creativeness. Only Danny could be so creative even at a time like this. Without further ado…

Hi everyone,

Due to my 4^th brain surgery in a month my head is pounding.

I have a tube in my stomach for eating. It won’t come out for another 2 weeks. It sucks. There is a hole in my neck from where the trache tube went in for breathing. I have roughly 45 staples between my stomach and head. There is a drain coming out of my head where the spinal fluid drips out into.

It hurts to read and look at the computer screen. Lights and the telephone both bother me. Even the beep of the the machines bothers me. I want to punch out the guy who runs the floor waxing machine. I’m tired of waking up in the middle of the night to a nurse waiting to draw blood at 3 AM with a smile on her face. The anti clotting leggings drive me nuts. I frigging hate them! I haven’t showered in a month.

Old ladies in the ICU were really excited to bathe me and it was creepy as hell. So I faked an asthma attack to get out of it. I didn’t want to be washed by 2 50 year old women.

Ill be sure to write more tomorrow. If anyone has any questions for me post them here and I will answer them. Thanks for checking in and thanks so much for all your support.
