So, the good news is that when my Mom asked if we wanted a new laptop for Xmas we had the good sense to say yes. Ours was working fine at the time, though we've had it since the Spring of 2007.

The bad news is that yesterday the top half of the monitor decided to stop working. So, Rob and I spent last night trying to get important pictures and documents off of it before it totally died. My netbook that I use for writing works, but is super slow. Right now I'm on the laptop and have it working by putting a chip clip on the side of the monitor. This one just needs to last until Christmas or so when we get the new one. Please let it hold out!

In other news, I had my last physical therapy session today. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor next week. He'll then decide if I'm good, need more PT, need to be on a steroid, etc. To be honest, if it's the steroid I'm not taking it. I'd rather be in pain than gain 50-100 pounds in a month or two. The PT seemed to help a lot, so I'm hoping I'm good to get back to my normal activities and just be careful about re-injuring it.
