It wasn’t an easy decision, as writing about it would mean to let people into a very personal situation that was and is still unfolding. I don’t mind people being on the periphery of my private life, but I am quite choosy about who gets full access. When I decided to write about it, I did it for a few reasons.

I decided I wouldn’t go to the beach and instead I started writing the blog from yesterday.

The doctors weren’t keen on telling me due to the added stress issue involved, but I had asked to be released. It seemed that all that I did there was take an endless amount of pills, get my vitals checked and have two or three IV’s.

And it is almost impossible not to look down, especially when you have a numb leg and a foot on the other leg that seems to only have partial feeling and sometimes decides it is not going anywhere. There is a need to look in on them and make sure they are doing what they are supposed to be doing, taking turns being in http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EternalRamblingsOfAConfusedMind/~3/XgbHOttPZLM/dont-look-down.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Robb)2<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/EternalRamblingsOfAConfusedMind?a=XgbHOttPZLM:9bZx8fHFkpc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/EternalRamblingsOfAConfusedMind?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/EternalRamblingsOfAConfusedMind?a=XgbHOttPZLM:9bZx8fHFkpc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/EternalRamblingsOfAConfusedMind?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EternalRamblingsOfAConfusedMind/~4/XgbHOttPZLM" height="1" width="1"/>http://rselander.blogspot.com/2012/01/dont-look-down.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18416819.post-1456576257622767354Mon, 16 Jan 2012 07:38:00 +00002012-01-16T12:09:21.341+04:30 I am so glad the weekend is over. It started out ok, I woke up on Saturday feeling good and motivated. I got up, had my normally breakfast and then decided it was time to go out and walk. I decided not to count the rounds, but rather grab my headphones and put on the latest mix by Geo and just walk until I felt I was done.

I was in class, trying to teach English to a group of people who, for the most part, aren’t that interested. They go because they have to. Universities require students to pass grammar exams, and a lot of companies require some level of English.
