Monday Night CrapBall
Wow, what a totally and utterly crappy football last night. I was really hoping that the Colts would show up to play. The defense did a commendable job but the offense just stunk. You can't really win if you can't score. I cooked some chili before the game, it was pretty good, the game not so much.
I woke up this morning and was dead tired. I'm feeling better now as the morning coffee is starting to work it's magic. I'm also really hungry, but it's a little late to eat some oatmeal.
This weekend is drill again....
I just have nothing exciting and interesting to say...I'll try to think of something by the end of the day to share.

I thought the Colts were going to pull that game out. But then I'm a Packer fan so ...
I know you and Amanda are watching past episodes of House. Are you also watching the current new episodes every week? Something crazy happened in this last episode and i wondered if you had seen it. Also, i just started watching House in the middle of last year. I know House has a limp and uses a cane and is addicted to pain killers. What i can't figure out is how he got that way. What happened to his leg? I remember one episode where he tried physical therapy and tried to come off the pain meds and it didn't work. Just wondering if you knew the story. Thanks!
@ShamrockLover - Nope, haven't watched this season yet.
His leg injury was explained in season 1. For this story on it visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_House
About ten years before the series began, House entered into a relationship with Stacy Warner (Sela Ward), a constitutional lawyer, after she shot him during a "Lawyer vs. Doctors" paintball match. Five years later, during a game of golf, he suffered an infarction
in his right leg, which went misdiagnosed for three days due to
doctors' concerns that he was exhibiting drug seeking behavior (House
eventually diagnosed the infarction himself). An aneurysm in his thigh had clotted, leading to an infarction and causing his quadriceps muscles to become necrotic.
House had the dead muscle bypassed in order to restore circulation to
the remainder of his leg, risking organ failure and cardiac arrest. He
was willing to endure excruciating post operative pain to retain the
use of his leg. After House was put into a chemically-induced coma
to sleep through the worst of the pain, Stacy, House's medical proxy,
acted against his wishes and authorized a safer surgical middle-ground
procedure between amputation
and a bypass by removing just the dead muscle. This resulted in the
partial loss of use in his leg, and left House with a lesser, but still
serious, level of pain for the rest of his life. House could not
forgive Stacy for making the decision, so she left him.

House now suffers chronic pain in his leg, and uses a cane to aid his walking and takes Vicodin frequently to relieve his pain.
Thanks!! I hope you like this season....i'm hooked! I love all the side stories about the characters.
