What is soooo much fun about abusing penguins?? I have no idea but here's another penguin game to amuse you. My best score was 411.94 - good luck.
For other penguin fun, check out the posts from my blog last December 23rd & 24th.
Disclaimer: I do not avocate the abuse of any animal and, in fact, love penguins.
Hey everybody! Great news - Dad has been released from NICU and will hopefully be in physical rehab by the weekend!
What did I get for my birthday? Besides the typical cards & well wishes, lunch out with a friend, I got a very special present today - from God.
My dad is greatly improved overnight and is off the vent, abdominal drainage tube is out and he's sitting up, eating & talking like there's no tomorrow. Now friends, THAT is a birthday present I'll NEVER forget. : )
Ok - really sorry I had to do it everyone, but I've gotten sooooooooo many spam comments that I've had to restrict comments. You must be a registered user & I'm activating the word verification for leaving a comment. I didn't want to do it because it's a hassle but, as usual, the few jerks ruin it for the rest of us.
I am officially wired again as of yesterday - love my new cable connection. I can now waste countless hours of my life online once again.
Actually, now that I've posted about Dad & made this short post, it's time to go to my college website and take my physics test, (rolling eyes) oh joy (sighs & rolls eyes again).
What will really happen now that I'm back online:
The aliens will be begging to play Neopets every waking moment. (But Moooommmm - they're starrrrvvvvvvving!)
I'll be catching up on everyone's blog (it's been almost two whole months!!). Blog withdrawl is an ugly thing, pray you never go through it.
I've got what seems like 4 million e-mails to answer. Even though EVERY single one of my family & friends KNEW I had limited internet access, they felt it necessary to continue to send me all those normally-cute forwarded e-mails non-stop. Warning: If it says "FW: " on it, folks it's getting deleted. I'm only reading the REAL stuff for the next week.
And of course - Physics 162 has all the tests/quizes online. yea. lol
Well, it's off to take a test on another exciting chaper in my first class of the week!
Well, Dad came off the ventilator yesterday afternoon and still listed in critical condition but -he is stable. A much improved status from a couple of days ago. We just keep praying for him to heal quickly and completely with no more complications.
Thanks for all your prayers.
Last night Dad had a motorcycle accident on his way home from work.
We're not sure why or how he lost control of his bike but he went down and is now in the neuro-intensive care unit of the hospital again.
Last time he hurt the left side of his body, this time it's the right.
7 broken ribs
punctured lung
broken collar bone
broken shoulderblade
head injury
lacerated liver & ruptured spleen (spleen removed & liver repaired during surgery last night)
serious road rash on arms and hands
Dad is on a vent again to assist in his breathing. He is alert and is wanting to communicate but this is difficult with his hands and arms bandaged. The head injury does not appear to be as bad this time and he's doing well from last night's surgery.
They are trying to determine if he had a dizzy spell due to the prior head injury or a mild heart attack that caused him to lose control of the bike.
More updates will come as I have the information. Thanks for your prayers!
I am currently taking up a collection to pay for a chauffer for my father for the remainder of his days. Just kidding - I'm stressed it's either laugh or cry at this point & I'd rather save the tears for another time.
