Two and half hours later, I have a slip of paper

I got my permit today!

Heck yes!

So I spent two and half hour in line at the DMV. It was really crowded. They should have what the Alaskan DMV has....a webcam so you can see how crowded it is. Anyway, took the test, and I got my permit! yay! Let's hope the 4th times a charm. (I've let my permits expire in the past...three times)

Oh, so I fell...again. This time I was walking to the gym after my coming back from my dentist appointment (#2 of 4). I took a bit of a shortcut to get there, that was a mistake. There was a bit of a ledge on this parking lot. I stepped up (one and half - two feet) and then I was on the ground. Since last summer, I have no balance.

Anyway I got a road rash that covers most of my left shin/calf and a bit on the knee. It hurt like a bitch. So this is the second time I have fallen totally, this time I barely caught myself. The guy at the front desk of the gym gave me a few bandaids to get the bleeding portions so I didn't bleed all over the gym. I wrapped in Neosporin last night and most of the redness went away. Now it looke like I have been attacked by a pack of rabid cats with the 5 million 1-3 inches scratches on my leg.

I reinjured my elbow a few days ago too when I nearly took a header getting out of the shower and caught myself on my left elbow. owchies.

Now I feel like a total clutz. I was born with barely any depth preception and my balance vanished a year ago. I am so fucked.

I may have to get another MRI because I am falling so much but on the plus side it means I have to get a silver ring for my ear so I don't risk getting zapped by the machine this time.

Anyway Dad and I are making the car look and run even better tomorrow, oil change, wax, clean the interior, fix the exaust, etc. And then some practice driving. So that'll all be fun.

Current Mood: Bit of pain, but good otherwise.
