It's a miracle . . . . I can walk! I get to ditch the crutches!!! . . . . if I feel comfortable and/or my leg can handle it. The last part is a little tricky, I went food shopping/ I mean wine shopping at Fred Meyers and after just a half an hour my leg is DEAD!!!!! I'm walking with a huge limp but I think I"m going to try and make it a pimp limp!!
Currently drinking "Menage a trois Red" just awesome especially if you decanter it for about an hour before drinking, I would give it over 90points!!!!
Peace out, or better yet, pimp out!

Status Post surgery 2days, since I'm also status post shower 2days, I wont be posting any photos. Anyways just a quick update, I'm feeling better today. Yesterday was very very painful, after calling the doctor I was let in on a little secret that if I re-wrap my brace and let some of the pressure off my bandage it wouldn't hurt as bad, and a few minutes a miracle happened, the pain for relieved! Yeah, ok that is enough of my perocet and wine rambling! Signing off-AO

It's unfournately offical

It's unfortunately official, I have a torn ACL with a pretty big bone bruise. Surgery will be scheduled for sometime in the fall. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/Anterior-cruciate-ligament-ACL-surgery So in the next few months, looking to finish up my "moving" projects and am starting to line up "sedentary" projects.

MCATs are done! A review on "Energy Drinks!"

So after many 13hour days of studying, my test is done. As some might know, I am very close to being narcoleptic when I'm not running around. So as seen by the picture to the left, during those hours of studying I tried multiple different kinds of energy drinks.
1. My favorite is Starbucks Double Shot Light drink, with 130mg of Caffeine, 70 calories and a nice taste it is a clear winner.
2. Enviga- a close second choice comes in many flavors, i perfer the berry one, only 5calories and 100mg of caffeine, tastes more like a snapple then an engery drink.
3. JetSet- also comes in many flavors, i tried the ginger ale, tastes just like a regular ginger ale but with 125mg of caffeine but has a hefty 130 calories per can.
4. Tab- tastes more like a typical energy drink, but has more of a cherry taste with only 5 calories isn't too bad.

Next time you are in need of some caffeine and had enough coffee try an energy drink listed above, just beware http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/ergot_ad.htm
