JULIA AGAIN – LONG DAY ON SATURDAY, November 24, 11:30pm

Hello again.  I am writing late today because I have been busy.  I started my day with breakfast and then had therapy.  I walked around the seventh floor the entire way with my walker.  That is the farthest I have walked so far.  I watched a Peter Pan movie after lunch and then went to the teen playroom with my dad and brother Nicholas.  Dad was practicing basketball shots and then he played Nicholas in air hockey.  I just watched and kept score.  We left the playroom and went to Wendy’s for lunch.  I ate some french fries but I was not hungry.  I went back to my room and walked some more in my room.  Nicholas played with a boy who is on my floor for a long time.  My mom left at 2pm and drove to Charlotte to help get John and Christina ready for school and then she drove back tonight.  She just got back around 11 tonight.

I watched football games with dad tonight.  We were not happy that Clemson beat South Carolina.  We are big fans of the Gamecocks.  Right now we are watching the Tarheels basketball team and they are playing BYU.  I hope they win.  The Tarheels’ guard named Ty Lawson got hurt and is not playing.  He is one of their best players.

I am feeling a little better now but I have nausea a lot.  My back hurts a lot but they give me pain medication every 4 hours to help the pain slow down.  My left knee feels funny too and the doctors are checking that.  I did have some of my favorite pizza today for the first time from my favorite restaurant Franklin Street Pizza.  I could only eat half of one slice.  It is really good pizza so if you ever come to Chapel Hill you should go eat there.

I spoke on the phone with my Yiayia and Gampi (my granddad) and Mr. Chagaris who is one of my dad’s good friends.  Some friends of my dad sent me a new PSP, Playstation Portable, game.  I played it for a little while but got tired.  I miss Charlotte, my dog Buddy and my friends.  I am hoping I get out of the hospital on Monday but we have to wait for the doctor to tell us.  I will write on my blog again tomorrow.  Sorry I wrote late today but my dad and I were busy all day.  Thank you again for thinking about me and writing such nice things.

Good night.     Julia
