Surgery= bored

Since my surgery a week ago I have realized a lot of things. 1. I have the most amazing group of friends ever! I couldn't have asked for better friends. Being away from home I basically had to attempt to do everything for myself which is tough on crutches and lots of drugs but I was prepared to do it. Instead, Abbey, Bridgette, Emily, Will, Hans, and Micah took over and did much, much more than I could ever expect them to. They made me food, hung out with me, let me complain, helped me change my bandages, put my shoes and socks on, washed my hair, and all the other things that go along with having surgery. On top of all that, the girls decorated my very baren room and bought me this little kids tea party set and all 7 of us had a tea party in my room. I just love them all!
2. I think that people think that you are deaf when you are on crutches. Everywhere I go people stare and talk about me. They could be walking 2 feet behind me and will have an entire converstation about what they think is wrong with me or how bad it would suck to be hurt. It is very annoying!!
3. The scariest thing ever happend to me!! ok, not really but I got ambushed by people trying to spread the good news of Jesus. The surrounded me and started praying over me with out even asking. I was horrified! I just think that is the worst possible way you can try to spread the word. I am proud of my faith and do my best to live the way I should but I was truly scared of these people forcing their belifes on me. I can not imagine how anyone that did not believe would be encouraged by having it forced at them. Scary!!
4. On a lighter note. Vicadin makes me soooo tired! I dont know if it is just me or a normal side effect but if someone is not talking to me or I am not doing something somewhat stimulating I fall asleep in 10 min!! Not good when you have 3 hour classes!!!
