TGIF.  Except I have to study all weekend.

My brother was clinically dead last Friday, almost 1 week exactly from when I am writing this.  They brought him back, broken neck and back to boot.

He’s lucky he didn’t stay dead.  He’s lucky he can move his arms and legs.  He can stand.  They did surgery on his back…and he should be fine, despite scars galore, and two rods shoved in his spine, and pins in his neck.

He was on a respirator until Tuesday, and Wednesday morning I was allowed to call him and talk to him for the first time.  I couldn’t fly back to see him because I have a midterm coming up this Tuesday, I had a speech to say this past Wednesday, and I had a JAVA program and a large Physics II homework due Thursday (yesterday).  So I couldn’t do it if I wanted to stay in school.

Wednesday morning I talked to him.  Remember Wednesday I had a speech due?  Later on I would be standing up in front of a class giving my long-awaited speech on my friend Amy.  Wednesday morning, my brother asked where "we" were. 

He thought I was home, with my parents, and coming up to visit him.  I had to explain to him I was in Colorado, and because I was in school, I had to stay in Colorado, that I’ve been here the whole time.

I cried after I got off the phone with him.  It was so sad.  Then I went and was upset throughout all my classes, and I said my speech.  I practically read it, and didn’t do as well as I thought I would…but I did ok.

***And thank goodness (I’m in the computer lab on campus writing this) that the boyfriend of the girl beside me just left.  They were like making out the whole time I wrote this epic.  I was ready to ream them out if they didn’t stop.  Next time I’m in public with Elan, I’m going to find this couple, and get all over Elan right beside them sometime to get back at them, I swear.***

Anyway, after I get home from saying my speech, my mom says how Josh asked why I wasn’t there with her, was I still in Kane?  SHE then had to explain to him I’m in Colorado, and I couldn’t make it out.

I couldn’t call him yesterday.  I tried this morning, and no answer.  This whole situation sucks, and it sucks I can’t be there.
