Lord, forgive me, but I’m too vain for this injury...

I really don’t want to get fat.  I know that is a very vain statement considering what I’m going through but dang it, I really don’t want to get fat!!!  When you’re not only used to exercising daily, but  you're paid to exercise daily, how is that not a major concern? The thought of sitting on my butt for months is sooooo scary. I won’t have any problems eating or anything, I love food way too much.  But, this is definitely gonna be a test of my restraint.  I usually eat anything I want because I work out so much.  I mean as I've gotten older, I have paid more attention to what I put in my body.  How easy will it be to just sit around and eat all day.  Don’t get me wrong I would love to do it.  I’m just way too vain...lol! It would be great if I could lose weight during this process rather than gaining.  My appetite has been minimal anyway.  Sometimes I have to force myself to eat.  I’m just not hungry and that is not normal for me...lol! I love to eat. Seriously though, I have to be smart about this.  I’m already behind with this injury so, I need to make sure that I put myself in the healthiest situation to get back on the court.  I don’t want to add any extra work to my agenda.  So it will be important for me to maintain a healthy weight while I’m immobile.  I can’t wait to burn some calories.  I don’t care what I do...I just wanna burn some calories.  

Mr. Doctor, thank you so much for repairing my knee.  Question: What is up with this enormous scar?!?!  Doesn’t he know I’m a fashionista?  I can’t show my legs with what looks like a train track running down my knee.  I measured the scar, it’s a good 6 inches.    I have to show these beautiful legs.  My agent was joking with me saying that next on her to-do list is getting an endorsement deal with Neosporin. Excuse me if I don’t laugh.  Let’s go lady! Get to it!  She was joking, but I’m serious, you need to get on that!!! I don’t care who: Neosporin, cocoa butter, vitamin E, whatever will help the appearance of that fugly scar.  I don’t need the reminder, honey, I’ll remember.  People keep saying, “oh it will remind you of your perseverance and strength.”  I appreciate it yall, but I’m good.  I will always remember this.  I don’t need the scar to jog my memory...lol! The thought of sweats and sneakers for the next 6 months is unbearable.  Oh, how I adore preparing my summer and spring wardrobe!  I guess I’ll be saving some money this summer, which is always a plus.  I’ll tell u one thing, when this is all over.  I’m gonna buy myself an awesome gift! I guess I’ll be vicariously living through my Styles by M.E. clients.  When am I gonna be able to wear heels again?  I always wear heels.  They’re like my trademark--nothing less than 4 inches. My shoe game is bonkers by the way. But, that’s neither here nor there.  I wont be wearing them anytime soon... 

What is this nonsense my mother is talking about? No she did not just tell me to make sure that I move around and change positions in my bed so that don’t have skin breakdown.  What the french is skin breakdown? Bed sores? I’m gonna have bed sores?? This is ridic! I’ll definitely be actively sleeping...

Have you ever used a bed pan?? I would hope that everyone reading this will never, ever have to use a bed pan.  Oh, it’s disgusting! I had to spend the night at the hospital when I had surgery last friday.  When I woke up, I asked the nurse where the bathroom was?  She said that doctor wanted me to use a bed pan.  You’re joking, right?  She returned with what looked like a toddler’s potty training seat and a pee pad that my doggie, Prince Diva Delicious uses.  Uh, what do I do again?  I’ll spare you the details but what’s crazy is I felt bad for the nurse!  Omg! Who wants to collect used bed pans???  Yuck...

My butt is gonna be lopsided when this is all over.  Man, my left butt cheek is on fire from all of the overcompensation of my right leg.  I mean my whole left hip/butt burns!! Kinda funny...
