That totally sucks!! Let’s play. I’ll come to cheer/distract you for a few hours that weekend. We’ll play the “No, my life is worse” game.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this for you. Back pain is the worst, it is painful no matter what position you are in or how you move. what are they giving you for it?

Thinking of you.

Flip flops are eaiest when you can’t bend over to tie shoes. Assuming you remember not to bend over to put on the flip flips.

At least we live where we can wear flip flops in February. If that commute was on ice and snow it would really suck. Hang in there.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Wouldn’t it be better to go half-time and for one more year? Wouldn’t it take some of the immediate pressure off you? If you don’t bend, will you break?

Oh, go to Nola with Dr. Slappy. Let the sweetness of the city help.

I have no words. And you are right, this does suck. Immensely. Here’s to figuring out what you need/want/must do to figure your way through this…

Okay, I am not going to give you one of my numerous meant-to-be-uplifting-let’s-win-one-for-the-gipper messages. I am going to tell you that this, in fact, does suck and that you should spend some time wallowing in the suckiness of it all.

And then I am going to say, screw it, go to New Orleans with Slappy (just don’t lift HIM while you’re there).

And then I’m going to say: When will you learn to stop wearing flip flops? This is not your first flip flop flub-up (a nice derivation on the that word, don’t you think?).

And then I’m going to say that you have one more wallow day and then you must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and re-acquaint yourself with the superwoman we all know you to be.

That’s all I’m gonna say.

First of all you are NOT defeated. Every day through blinding pain and towering disappointment you somehow manage the strength and courage to get up and keep facing this head on. You are doing so much more, and doing it better, than so many others would in your place. To someone, somewhere out there, you are an inspiration. Remember that.

I’m so glad you chose to only tell your professor/advisor the, um, “pertinent” restrictions. Those other ones would have been AWK-WARD.

I continue to be amazed by your strength during all of this, even if it’s showing through your tears.
