1. I was stuck at home for over three weeks recovering from brain surgery
And had limited excursions for the four weeks after that. Plus the week in the hospital. I had major cabin fever.

10. It's alright. Things are better.
The memories aren't there around every corner. I wrote it last night because of a post I read that ripped me up-a casual flip post that scared a lot of people. :hug:

11. Oh, yeah... I caught that too
People don't know how you have to take these things seriously... just in case. :hug

In fact, last night was so hard on me, I really (mentally) need to back away from DU for awhile. :hug:

5. Probably the week after having Bella.
I about went crazy. I can't stay in my house for too long. I have to get out.

14. Even after surgery...
I couldn't stay in the house more than a week. I hear you. That's why I'm rather surprised I've been in this house, without going out, for 8 days now.

15. You seem pretty active...
can't imagine you sitting still for more than 5 minutes! (I mean that as a compliment)

13. I'd say its when my job went under, my car was in the shop for a month,
and I had to do all my job-hunting via the internet because my phone company made a 200 dollar mistake on my bill and cut off my phone rather than admit their mistake. And I'd just moved far enough away from most of the jobs within walking distance, and my bike had broken.

I think I ended up staying home for up to 5 day stretches at a time that month or so.

The real irony of the situation... the mistake was on my internet portion of the bill, not the phone portion. Yet they cut off my phone right away, and then forgot to cut off my internet for another couple months. :P

19. Yep, that's how I ended up finding the next job...
and that job had free health insurance, so after it finally kicked in I was able to get the ingrown toenails that I'd been dealing with for several months taken care of. So in the end it actually kinda helped. If I hadn't been so limited and desperate in my job search, I don't think I would have found that job. :P

18. After I had surgery when I was five, I was house bound for about a week.
:shrug:

Otherwise, probably not more than three days.
