He called again. :]  We got to talk another 10 minutes.  Heehee.  He said Marlinspike is hilarious because of the way they make you do things.  He didn't get to participate 'cause he was on crutches. :(  He had fun yelling encouragement though.

OMGOMGOMGOMG

 

I got a call. :D  I'm sooo happy. :3  He said he'll see if he'll be able to call back again, but he probably won't be able to.  I told him he needed to call his mom though. :P  I'm so happy!!  nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  lol  I'm such a dork.

 

He told me I'm an inspiration to everyone, since he is the only one that gets mail every day.  Haha.  They also all love my letters, so I guess he shares the little pictures I draw on them.  The one they loved most was my Rick roll one, where I just wrote down the lyrics to "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, and drew his silhouette at the end.  There are apparently a lot of anime fans, so they all appreciate my silly drawings on the envelopes.  I think I'm exploding from happiness.  I'm nearly crying.

 

He said most of the fractures are stress fractures, but the worst one is a cluster fracture in his right leg. He's on crutches, but he said in a few weeks they'll probably have him stop using them.  He said the cluster fracture is going to take a long time to heal though.   He also has made up his mind that he's going to try and come home as quickly as possible.  He did a lot of reflecting and it is just not the life he wants.  He said his mind was already made up...  I told him it'll probably be really hard to get out though, since they do everything in their power to heal you up and get you back in basic training to graduate.

Awww.  I was really distracted the last few days having a slight fever. :(  I'm afraid I have a breast infection. :P  Dern breastfeeding.

 

As for my SR... still haven't heard from him today.  He said he'd get a call between 1pm-6pm, so I'm figuring it'll be 2pm-7pm my time.  I have a few hours left. Haha... it's murder waiting though!!!!

i miss having my son around the house on saturdays.  he was ALWAYS watching some kind of sports, and even though in the last couple of years he has been driving us crazy, we still miss him.  THAT'S why i am emotional today.

anybody else?

i need to stop "naval gazing" (no pun intended) and get busy and help somebody else today

Oh Cindy, a to-do list is a great idea. I always leave him one when I go on a trip. I'll call from the airport & say I'm on my way home and he'll say, "Oh s$*t, how long before you get here, cause I gotta finish the list."

OK Ladies, I am emotional today too. Don't know why, haven't watched any PIR videos or heard the National Anthem or grabbed a soldier at the rodeo. I guess I am not busy enough.

KC's mom
I'm sitting here at work suppose to be working. All of a sudden I start crying. I miss my son and I feel sad and pray for the Injured. I'm such a wimp. The guys probably think I'm crazy.
KC is in a great place to heal. He will be well taken care of and strong. Hang in there Momma :-)

KC's mom........sending a special prayer that you get a call this weekend!  I know what you mean......I get choked up about the littlest things!  On YouTube you can see PIR ceremonies, and I can't bear to watch them without bursting into tears!  The uncertaintyand the waiting is the hardest part....but they want him in top shape as much as you do!  So however long it takes, the goal is getting him back to 100%.  He'll get there before you know it.

Squeekers, I did read that the SR's get to call on w/e's AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT IN TROUBLE. hahaha. I hope they are all good. I will not leave my phone for even a second today. I can't wait. Last night was so emotional for me it was crazy. A mom that I met on FB RTC page told me she got a call from her son yesterday and he specifically told her that he misses 'KC'. I ran out of the karate ceremony crying. Then last night I was at a rodeo and as soon as they sang the national anthem at the beginning I started sobbing. Later, I saw a man in an army uniform and just grabbed him and started crying telling him about my son's ankle.   He looked like he was actually annoyed with me ( perhaps b/c he was in the middle of a conversation with somebody when i broke out and grabbed him). He told me my son is fine, he's being taken care of.  I tell you what.... I'm not usually like this. It's crazy!
