Erienne does get cravings including for spanish=speaking opportunities AND scones. WEIRD COMBO, EH? The weirdness can be blaMED ON VaRIOUS legal DRUGS (MORPHINE,percocet and head injuries, I apologize... oh and thank you to EVRYONE who comments and visits y'all are a geat bunch how I love thee! I'm still hungry and still eager to see people. Don't ever give up on me...I'm never going to give up on life. It's a fun time, even here. There are lots of smart people here. They answer my questions and keep me company...all the doctors and nurses. They deserve presents on behalf of me. There's one doctor, Dr. Day, who I was able to hit with a reflex hammer the other day. He's tolerant and has a good sense of humor. YOu can't take everything too seriously when you're a neuro surgeon I presume. His first name is JD, but I'm not sure what it stands for. There was a kid in 5th grade named JD but Dr. Day is way cooler than that. I'd like to say thank you to my mom for finishing typing this for me. SHe's a great lady. She helps me with everything and always has, from talking to getting wash cloths for my head. My sister is also awesome. Get this, she wrote down all 43 items in the vending maching for me because I said I was hungry. She could be a nurse. I miss being able to be mobile enough to wrestle with her. We used to do that. I think I used to win, but probably becasue I'm bigger. Is that fair? I'm also extremely ticklish, FYI, so much so that when I went in for a physical a couple of weeks ago, she couldn't finish the exam because I was laughing so hard. My dad is awesome. I miss him because he's playing a clan o jazz gig right now. He's so funny. He's been entertaining me with yo-yo tricks. My family is so great. Their good traits heavily outweigh anything that could be perceived as an issue. All of this information is useless to you, but I feel like rambling from this plastic hosptial bed. This is a rambling-inducing environment. The doctors ramble too, but their ramblings can dictate life or death. It's funny how everyone listens to me from the hospital. Do you actually want to read what I have to say? Okay, I'm done. Thank you so much for the prayers. You may not realize it, but especially when there are that many, I can really feel it... like invisible safety belts and air bags (except that they don't hurt you when they inflate.) I think dinner's here now.Love to all, Erienne
PS Thank you to my Grammie too - she sticks around when my parents have to take a break.

Erienne,
I wish you could see what your blog postings do for those of us on the other side of the hosptial bed...it is such a comfort to ready your "ramblings" because they confirm that what God starts, He finishes. We're not giving up on you because clearly God has not; He's not done with you yet. There's a great children's song, part of the lyrics being:

"He's still workin' on me, to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be,
'Cause He's still working on me."

Thanks for great attitude through this "scenic route"...looking forward to seeing/hearing you back at CCJA!!!

Erienne - Yesterday Adam had drum lesson with your dad and we talked all about you and how much we love to read your blog. Did you know we check it at least 3 or 4 times a day? Yeah, it's true, we can't wait to hear how your day was and your thoughts and insights. It was a great story about JD, the neuro doc. You made us laugh. We loved the story about the vending machine and your sister. Keep on blogging and keep on getting stronger. We're surrounding you with white light and healing angels.

Love Carla, Terry & Adam

Hey Erienne! -- I'm thrilled to check-in and see that you've been active on your blog. Did Lauryn really write down all those vending machine items for you?! Yes, she could be a nurse, indeed! Thanks for writing and giving us all a good dose of your humor. More importantly, thanks for reaching out to all of us who love you so much :~) Hang in there young lady. Many blessings for your recovery. Love you! Catherine Ann p.s. any idea when you might move out of the ICU or is that a big unknown still? Sending you positive vibes from Seattle!

My name is Monica Stone and i would like to show you my personal experience with Percocet.

I am 35 years old. Have been on Percocet for 7 days now. It did help the pain but the side effects weren't worth it. I'd rather have the pain.

I have experienced some of these side effects-
nausea, very itchy, racing heart, anxiety, flashing lights(almost hallucinogenic?), weird dreams, tiredness

I hope this information will be useful to others,
Monica Stone
