| Well folks, looks like it's time to put xanga to death. I believe I will be opening a wordpress account soon enough and I will start blogging there. Xanga is too old, methinks... When I think about and look back at old posts... man how young I was...but thanks to Xanga, a lot of reflection was possible and a lot of thoughts that couldn't be said were all jotted down here. Lots of growth happened in these blogs. Thanks for the memories. Farewell good friend. I shall show this entire blog to my kids if you're still around in a couple years. Please don't delete any of my posts or have a server crash. Thanks. Good times ahead folks.
With much love,
Rico

| It's been over a month since i've written in this... why?
cuz my old laptop sucked and everything was super slow..
but praise the Lord I got a new laptop and nothing lags... yes. i can watch youtube videos without missing frames. yes, i can write on xanga without the words appearing 5 seconds after i type it. yes!
windows 7 is great

| WOW i haven't written in this thing in more than a month... that just proves how busy life's been..
and on top of that... who the heck HAS time to write on blogs anyways?...... it's all about facebook and meetings nowadays right? hahaha. Anyways....
a little update on my shoulder since the last time... it hurt back then, and it still hurts now. except now I'm typing with two hands again.. and i'm doing physical therapy ( on my own at least till next week). What's heartbreaking is that all this nice cold weather outside is being wasted by NOT playing basketball cuz I can't lift my left arm at all =(. sigh.....................
someone go with me to the Lakers season opener.. buy ur own ticket!

| You know that pain when u sprain ur ankle on the basketball courts and there is that 20 min. of unbelievable pain sshooting down ur foot and bones?? well, that is seriously nothing compared to wat i've been through in the past 70 or so hours... the pain is to the point where it's working its way to every cell in my body causing me to make groaning noises all day and night. It just straight up hurts. ugh to make it worse, the Percocet that my dr. gave me gives me huge headache, bad tummy, dry mouth, and it makes me just crazy... sometimes i cant tell the diff btwn real life or if i'm dreaming. I can't even remember who I spoke with or what I did during the day.
But thx God the pain has subsided to the point where i can sit down and focus on writing an entry about this.. lol. I gotta say, having surgery for watever reason is not fun, Waking up from anesthesia was the worst feeling ever. When i was woken up from it, my body was non responsive, i couldnt speak, and theres tthis horrible taste in my mouth from the drugs. man wat a crappy experience... it took me a good hour or so to get myself off the gurney, to the wheelchair, and to my sister's car.
Well all in all, the surgery went well, took about 3-4 hours... I was so high on anesthesia when I came back home that my tummy couldn't take it and I threw up all this liquid. Somehow throwing up makes you feel absolutely better for some reason. Now i know why bulimics do it =) (I'm jk, bulimia is horrible, don't ever throw up ur food on purpose...) In the past 12 hours...sleeping is getting better. the pain is disappearing, but it def. still comes in bursts. I'm wearing this silly looking shoulder immobilizer, but I can take it off whenever my arm starts to get sore or it gets too hot inside. I'm looking forward to Sunday night because I can finally take off the bandages so I can see where they drilled a hole in me..
Now I've got a couple screws and anchors drilled to my shoulder bone and connected to some complex system of tissues. Technology is amazing. But pain and going to the bathroom are not. Okay so basically when it comes to toilet use or whatever, I'm a lefty, but since my left arm is immobilized, I have to start getting used to using my right arm/hands for stuff... and i gotta say it is the hardest thing ever. Try it. Wipe with your normal hand, then switch. Tell me if that didn't feel funny?!?!? The feel of the stroke is soooooooo different!!
Anyways.. you know it wouldn't be a real Rico xanga post without a toilet story. okay I think I wrote enough... there are more details I would love to share about, but this is just the overall story =) Thanks for everyone who were asking how it went and stuff...It means a lot through the pain.
P.S. Typing with one hand takes a long, long, time.
