hydrocodone is my best friend.....

so i had my surgery a little while ago and i'm already making so much progress so i'm really excited about that. i was able to walk on the treadmill for the first day of rehab so hopefully i'll be running and jumping by thurs of this week, and then who knows maybe i'll be able to play full court by this sunday? JOKING of course, obviously the rehab process is pretty extensive and i'm definitely not rushing things, but i've had this injury twice before and the key is taking your time and working extremely hard in rehab. I have videos of my first day back on youtube so feel free to check those out.

There's nothing else really that intriguing or riveting about surgery except they give you a plethora of hydrocodone bitartrate and Acetaminophen (or vicodin lol) and i had to stop taking those pills earlier than i was supposed to because i was having the weirdest dreams...

However there is one amazing thing about surgery. When you're bed ridden you have the opportunity to watch a wide range of tv shows and movies all day long, and that's exactly what i did. I got in to 2 new tv shows that i highly recommend, Da Ali G Show and The Comeback, both distributed by HBO and sooo funny! Da Ali G Show features British actor Sascha Baron Cohen (the guy who plays Borat) and honestly its probably the wittiest and most entertaining show i have ever seen. And The Comeback stars Lisa Kudrow (from Friends, which is actually a show i never watched) as Valerie Cherish. I don't want to confuse you because it's kind of complicated, but i've attached the trailer of the show. I give it two very enthusiastic thumbs up...

until next time,

xoxo

	aww poor thing! hope your rehab goes smoothly. gotta get you back out on the court ballin! since you got some time on your hands, if you like witty tv shows may i suggest a short lived, little known but highly entertaining show called 'wonderfalls'. it's on dvd. don't be put off by the show's premise. it sounds weird, but its really well written and funny. i hear you googling now ;) check it out!

	Wonderfalls is brilliant! A talking souvenir...anything anthropomorphized is going to be a classic. You look very happy in that picture... the meds must not have worn off yet ;)

	I will have to check out these HBO shows, although I have recently discovered Entourage, and its got my attention pretty good right now.

	awww, thanks everyone for all your comments!! i need to check out this wonderfalls show...never heard of it, but i am a fan of anything that is well written. btw i am a HUGE entourage fan!! also i love sex and the city, gossip girl, and project runway too... so since some people brought up entourage, how about everyone say who their favorite character is? this has been a source of much debate among me and my friends....of course the obvious glamorous choice is vinnie chase, but he doesn't count, so with that said i choose..... eric. it was really hard and 2nd place goes to johnny drama (the guy is hilarious!! and so self absorbed) but i like e the most because i feel like he has such a great disposition on life, and i like how he doesn't allow himself to be pushed aside even tho he's not the star. he makes himself relevant, and i think there's something to be said about that....anyway, what do you guys think? who's your favorite entourage character...??

	ari gold! AHAH. i love jeremy piven and his role in Entourage is great!!!!! i also like turtle, he isnt the star either but hes just so laid back and hilarious with all his side comments lol. i LOVE sex and the city, and the movie was so good! i do recommend watching Friends. youll love it!

	I don't have HBO, so I can't watch Entourage regularly. But Gossip Girl is definitely my guilty pleasure!! :)

	Jeremy PIven rocks as Ari. That dude always has me cracking up. They all really handle their characters well though.That is just a great half an hour of life.

	1st of all I just want it to be known that I was the one filming the great video of the rehabilitation process that you see before you. Get well soon Candice!!!!!!

	Its really hard to decide who my favorite entourage character is. eric is to soft, johnny is such a loser although I agree that he is hilarious, turtle just takes orders and smokes weed alll day...(not terrible though). with that said my favorite character would have to be Ari Gold. He is smart, funny, a great liar and agent but at the same time he is loyal to his friends and family. PLUS he's paid

	20. bktruth32 , October 07, 2008 \| Reply	+2 pts \| \| \|
	Ari Gold is the best character for sure hands down.

	yes! agreed! and hes a jew! +1 lol

	ARI GOLD is my favorite followed by his assistant Lloyd. I think their relationship is hilarious, and they need each other equally. Plus Jeremy Piven is a great actor (Smokin' Aces!)

	sorry for a late post A lot of people shy a way from opiate pain killers because of the addiction stereotypes. True is pain management is an important part of PT rehab. I see your metaphor "hydrocodone is my best friend"

	Good luck with the rehab!
