I haven't been here in awhile. It's true. So, just to catch you all up this is what's been going on. I went to the ER on Sunday again because my leg wouldn't straighten out and other people couldn't get it to straighten out either. Finally, the doctor had to give me a shot of like really hard core pain killer (even harder than the stuff I've been taking) to make it behave. Then, they increased my dosage of pain killer. Every four hours without fail except when I'm sleeping. That's five pills a day sometimes and always four. That's more narcotics than I've ever been on in my whole life. I can't wait to see the orthopedist next week. For the past two days, I've been up and around pretty well and getting work done.

I've decided to try to enter this poetry contest from Pavement Saw Press. Now, my only job is to figure out what I want to send them. It's due by August 15th. I have two months. I really need to get some publication credits in before I apply for the Amy Lowell Fellowship in 2012 which I really feel could make my literary career if I got it. I'm also going to submit to this new radical political poetry magazine I was made aware of. I signed up for another paid to write site, and I'll let you know how it goes. They have a $5.00 signing bonus. The payout is $20.00. I finally made $3.00 here and that's a good thing. Only took me since October, but I haven't really paid as much attention to here as I should have.

In other news, all plans for the extraction of my friend from his house in Tennessee are going well. I guess I'll spend the first week of July in various offices with him getting him services. That's what I was really born to do. I'm just not as good at it as other people. However, as he says he doesn't know the other people but he knows me. I wonder if my friends went through this when they had to do the same thing with me. I really must thank them again if it was this difficult.

Goodnight all. I'll try to check in tomorrow.
