So today was a busy ass day at work, all kinds of locomotives coming in that needed to be serviced and moved around in the yard. We had 4 hostlers but still were pretty darn booked up, but oh well it was my Friday so who gives a shit right.

It was a super size Friday for me as well because I go in for surgery on Thursday. I am going to have the rod removed from my Tibia, all stemming from a break I sustained last year when I was hit by a locomotive at work which shattered my tibia and broke my fibula. My bone has healed completely now so it is time to take the rod out and let the bone heal again. I will be on crutches for at least 6 weeks so I can't go to work, awwww, how heartbroke am I? I'm not. I have books, movies, comics, magazines, and video games all lined up, and over the 4th of July we are having a family get together at the lake so I won't even have to take time off for that as I will be convalescing. I can still enjoy the lake on crutches.

I don't know if I will have to prop my leg up much this time or not, but if I do then my time on the computer will be limited, so I might not be able to make my daily stops into SG land. Hopefully I will, as I am pretty addicted to this and other sites.

So if you read this and want to think of me Thursday morning then feel free as I am getting a little nervous the closer it gets. The good thing though is that with morning surgery I will get to come home that same day. I guess the surgery is straight forward enough that all they have to do is make a couple cuts, remove some screws, and then remove the rod itself. I get to keep all the hardware so maybe I will post some pictures of it after the fact.

So if I don't get to see you guys for a while, know that I will be hanging out in front of my big 'ol TV rocking the PS3 and keeping my mind busy. Oh yeah, and I will miss you all.
