I was in extreme pain and groggy yesterday and this morning.  I weighed myself this morning and Im at 143.7!  I am taking on water weight. I feel like Im filling up like a water balloon.  Im to my official heaviest weight of my life. I took my bandages off and there is a significant amount of bruiesing and bleeding.  I will go check on my work and then take some pain pills. 

 

 

 Here is a photo in Salem Massachusetts with Samantha on Bewitched.  Can you believe, the townspeople actually were angered when they put this bronze statue up of her because she is considered a fake witch.

Thanks Dave. I took my bandages off today and it looks like I got hit by a baseball bat! I cant wait for the running to resume!

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 03, 2008 at 22:29:18

Hey, we weigh the same almost!! You are FAT! Oh, wait, you are a ton taller, so just I am fat! You are FINE----it is just water.

Hope you are healing well, take care of yourself and do not overdo it!!!!

From walter on Mon, Nov 03, 2008 at 22:38:46

Yea, well, Ive never took on weight this fast before in my life! My wife thinks its great now I can see what its like to have toxemia. I tried working and it made things worse for me! I came home and crashed on the bed. Im dizzy as hell without the pain pills. I got reading the Ibuprofen 800 bottle and it says it may cause dizziness and drowsiness. I want to not turn my computer on at all because im so jealous of you and whats his name yes, scott. Well, tell him nows his time to take my spot on the team. If Im not making sense good! Ive got to go find that chicken that keeps running by my bed! Hey, you remember the big labowski when hes running from the scissors? thats how I feel right now.

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 03, 2008 at 23:43:07

No more drugs for you!! Oh, and I HATED that movie. Scott LOVES it and watches it all of the time.

From Lucia on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 10:31:14

I haven't seen that movie but hear it's good - Kelli, why don't you like it?

Wally, wally, wally! Don't worry about the weight, it'll come off fast! Sorry you're still in pain, is that normal? Man, I feel for you...

From walter on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 12:34:42

Sorry Kelli, I was definitely tripin'! I still am light headed from all ive been through.

Lucia, If you watch the movie, he has scenes where he is on drugs and I swear I am feeling what he is. I had a hard nights sleep last night. I hope I dont have that much pain that I need to have to take any more of those pills. uggh.

From Kelli on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 12:53:12

Lucia, I have no sense of humor. That is all. I just thought it was DUMB.

From Matt on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 14:08:54

I am feeling for you Walt! Hope things improve soon. THe picture of the Fam is awesome. I don't know how you post such a clear picture. Any time I have tried to do high quality it never takes.

From walter on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 14:15:38

Kelli, you do to have a sense of humor. Its just not as reaching as ours is for stupid humor.

Matt, Thanks, I wish I could say I was the one taking the photo. But since im in it, no such luck.

From Camille on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:26:14

I don't think you should be aloud to talk about your weight on this blog. You are just going to get us women folk upset with you... and you don't want to have to admit that you were beat up by a bunch of women, do you? This is probably the only time I'll ever be able to say I can catch you! (and that's with me limping)

From walter on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:32:27

I could use a good butt kicking by woman!lol

From Camille on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:35:37

Hilarious!

From walter on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:39:19

But not right now because of my fragile state.

From camille on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:47:26

I won't be able to catch you when you have healed.

From walter on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:49:20

Ok then do what you must! lol
