Hospital update and Fringe.

Andrew came out of hospital this weekend. Kinda surprised how quickly it happened, as it was only the day after they'd let him have food for the first time, and I saw him the day before that and he was still out of it on morphine. *shrugs* Still, he's moved back in with his girlfriend which is a good thing and is taking it easy. I spoke to him yesterday and although he sounds tired, he sounds okay too. He has crutches as he still can't weight-bear on his leg very well, but will be getting some physio help with that, and will be getting his staples removed at the health centre tomorrow. I'll go round and see him one day this week when he's had a bit more rest, but it's all looking good - and thank you all once again for all the support you've given and offered over the last week or so, it's meant a great deal to me =) *hugs you all*

I've watched the first two episodes of Fringe cos 1) it's got Pacey in it and 2) quite a few of you are talking about it and the premise sounded interesting and 3)... it's got Pacey in it. *sighs* I am so easily led astray... and clearly quite shallow. I enjoyed them - not loving it yet as I'm not quite sure some of the time if I should find it as ridiculously amusing as I do - but I'll certainly be watching some more =)

And that's it really. Feel sort of weird the last couple of days, just sort of not quite bleh but like I can't be bothered all that much. *sighs* I think I'm tired. Hope you're all doing well and had good weekends =)

*hugs flist*

It's good to hear Andrew's doing better *hugs you*

Thank you =) *hugs back*

Btw - are there any road trip pictures yet? =) Also, don't know if you saw as you were away at the time but we went with your name suggestion for the comm: [livejournal.com profile] spn_sceneit - so thank you very much!

*hugs you heffa tight*

I hope that your brother will keep doing better, honey.

Btw, did you receive my email of updates? I know that my email has its wonky moments.

I didn't check Fringe so far, been quite busy, but should do so one of those days hihi.

*hugs you tight and clings*

I'm getting a UK cellphone today normally, so I'll let you know about it as well ;)

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs hard*

Yeah, go tthe email, sorry I've not replied yet, I've been ridiculously busy this weekend and when I have been home I've just felt a bit bleh so not done anything I should have. I'll reply tonight, I promise =)

If Fringe turns out to be any good, we can add it to our list of things to watch if/when you come =)

x♥x

That's wonderful that your brother is back home. I really hope that he will continue to get better and physio really can do wonders. I have seen it with friends of mine.

as for Fringe, I did download it, but I haven't watched it yet. I think I will continue downloading, til I get around to watch it, and if I like it, then I will continue watching it. Pacey is a good reason to watch it though. ;) at least for now.

*hugs*

Pacey is reason enough for me =)

Eeek - that does sound rather quick, but he's probably far safer at home away from all the sick folk eh? Still, it must be real hard doing anything with staples up your middle.. ::shudder:: ..that's plain nasty. We're thinking of him anyway and wishing him all the best for a speedy recovery which I'm sure he'll have, have to agree physiotherapy and time works miracles.

So, I'm not surprised to hear you're feeling a bit - blech - it's been a hell of a time for you and you'll be a while before you get back to normal. Give yourself a break, take an hour or so and treat yourself to something you love doing but rarely have time for, even if it's just a shopping trip with a friend or a walk - take it, for yourself, you've earned it.

**BIG HUGS** honey and all the best. :))

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
I couldn't believe they'd let him out so early, but I guess that's jsut the way things are with hospitals mostly nowadays, getting people out as quickly as possible. Plus he's young and strong so I'm not too worried, and I know he's being well taken care of - as long as he takes care of himself too =)

Thanks for everything hon, it's very much appreciated, and I'm sure you're right in that I'm just tired as it's been a helluva week - just need to properly get back in the swing of things again - at least I have still managed to keep up with most of the important website stuff so I've not got loads to catch up on =)

How about you, how are things there?

*hugs*

Good to hear Andrew is better.

And I'm sorry that you're not (really) *hugs*
Just remember I'm here.

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
Andrew's doing okay and that's a relief, for sure =)

I'm doing okay really, not meh or anything, just tired I think, been pretty busy the last few days and stuff, need to just re-focus or something =)

Hope you're feeling better now you've rested a bit

*hugs*

Sos glad to hear your brother is out of hospital. It does seem so fast that it has all happened! But if they sent him home that is such a good sign he is recovering! *hugs you*

And yup I agree about Fringe. It's all about PAcey *innocent* and yes I do find it amusing in its ridiculousness lol (apart from the times I want to slap Agent Dunham that is!)

I have some Pacey Peter icons I need to upload...

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he's young and strong, though it does annoy me a little how quickly they like to get people out of hospital over here. I'm sure he'll be fine though - and thank you for everything *hugs*

I'm glad it's not just me that finds Fringe just a little ridiculous *lol* as all I knew before I watched it was that some of my flist were squeeing over how good it - and it had pacey in, which tbh is reason enough for me to watch it =)

[identity profile] thandie.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so happy to hear he's doing okay...god, having a brother myself I was putting myself in your shoes a lot there, and for me it's the worst thing it could ever happen, my bro getting hurt.
So, yay! I guess he's a fast healer too!
*hugs*

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
He's young and strong so yeah, guess he's a fast healer - plus over here they do tend to get you out of hospital as fast as humnly possible - still, he's doing okay and that's really all that matters - thank you for everything =)

*hugs* x

PS Lovely icon!

[identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh that's wonderful news about Andrew! That's really quite amazing that he's up already. *hugs*

Re: The Fringe. I never watched Dawson's Creek, but I find the lead actor absolutely gorgeous! :) The show is insanely stupid though. And yet, they're streaming it direct here (ie. at almost the same time as the US gets it) so I will no doubt be tuning in every week to watch the cute lead guy! *joins you in the shallow* :)

Oh I'm so glad to hear that he's at home so he can relax and recuperate. That's such good news!

*hugs you tight*

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much hon, for everything *hugs you tight* Hope your mum is home too now and feeling much better =)

Been meaning to email you all weekend - just general pokey stuff, see how you're doing, talk about the movie vids comm, keep in touch sort of stuff - sorry I haven't. I will.

Really glad that your brother is doing okay.*hugs*

Heard a lot about Fringe as well but haven't gotten around to watching it. But saw the premier of Supernatural, it was awesome.:)

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks so much =)

Well I had some time this weekend so thought I'd check it out - cracktastically silly science and a hot guy = entertaining! =D

Supernatural premiere was fantastic! Watched it in the evening when I got home - then watched it again in bed!

Aw, your icon reminds me it's still ages till Numb3rs is back... well maybe not ages, but it's the last of the shows I watch to start re-airing, and I miss Colby =)

*hand over daisies* SO glad to hear he's home already. Wow. That really was fast. I'm sure now everything will be alright. *hugs*

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
*loves daisies*

It is fast, much faster than any of us thought, and yeah, hopefully all will be okay now - thanks for everything hon =)

It's a shame how quickly hospitals release patients anymore, that's mainly do to insurance usually. I'm glad he's doing well though :)

**HUGS**

lol i love fringe myself :) and i also adore Joshua Jackson :)

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-23 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was surprised, but he's doing okay. Lovely icon again - hope everything is still going well with hubby =)

I'm looking forward to more JJ goodness in the next episode =)

*HUGS*

[identity profile] theashgirl.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad to hear Andrew is doing better.

And I don't know if you're *supposed* to find Fringe all that amusing, but I do. A whole lot. But some stuff I've read says that's kind of the point of having Joshua Jackson, because the sarcasm keeps it from being *too* dramatic and lightens it up a bit.

Which, when melting faces are involved, is usually a good idea.

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-23 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you =)

Well, I was a little worried that I was snickering far too much - I hadn't read anyone on my flist saying how funny it was, just how great it was - but maybe that's what they meant! And I can see what you mean about JJ - his snark certainly does tone down the ridiculousness a bit, plus of course you're too busy watching him to notice everything that's wacky =)

I think the highlight of ridiculousness for me so far has been the eyeball trick - there are no words to describe the crazy.

That's great news about your brother! It's amazing he's doing so well, considering what he's been through.

*hugs for the bleh* I know what that's like :) Hope you feel better soon!

*hugs*

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-23 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he's young and strong which has clearly helped - he just needs to remember to take it easy for a while now and rest and get better properly =)

*hugs back for the bleh*

I guess your hella long summer now seems really short now it's almost over - maybe it'll help though to be back in a routine? Anyway, you know where I am if you want to chat, or even if you want to escape for a weekend =)

*hugs*

Andrew update

[identity profile] ms-3m.livejournal.com 2008-09-23 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Glad to read that Andrew is out and doing much better. : )

I have Fringe on my Tivo to watch. Along with a bazillion other shows stacking up on the harddrive. *sheesh*

Onward through the fog!

*hugs*

Re: Andrew update

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-23 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
He is, thank you - and thanks for everything, all your support is, as always, more appreciated than you know =)

I'm trying really, really hard not to get sucked into lots of other new shows that I'll never be able to keep up with - Fringe is the only one so far, and it's pretty cracky so certainly entertaining =)

*HUGS*

[identity profile] psycho-warbaby.livejournal.com 2008-09-24 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs* I seems that he went through a lot, and no doubt he's gald to have people supporting him. It's good to hear he's doing better

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-24 08:12 am (UTC)(link)

Awww...well I'm glad he's out of the hospital right now. How are YOU sweetie? I hope everything is good on your end and I hope you're not stressed out or anything too much right now.
*mwah*

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad he's homne too - and thank you x

I'm not doing so great right now, thinking of just disappearing for a while actually - we'll see how the rest of this week pans out, but right now one crap thing after another keeps happening and I don't think I can really handle much more right now.
