Another Rivalry Game

These tents have been here since Monday night. Why? Because today is
the big BYU vs Utah mens basketball game. If you have an All Sports
Pass you get in for free. The catch is that they only save 6,000
student seats. The doors open at 5:30 so I guess I have 4 and a half
more hours of sitting on a blanket :)

A small Update

For those of you frequent blog checkers (Tim), this is for you. I'm in my fourth semester at the Y and this is our third week of school. I'm taking 15 credits and enjoying my class schedule so far. I have registered for the Disneyland Half Marathon on September 5. Kate and Tim and my friend Abby will also be participating. I would also like to go to the Jazz vs Lakers game on February 10 if anyone has a set of tickets.

Welcome to Finals Week

This sight is a common occurance here during finals week. Many times
students admit to having a date with "Harold" instead of going out and
doing something social. "Harold" is a reference to the Harold B Lee
Library (HBLL).

Rivalry Week

This is a statue of an Indian pretty near the heart of campus. You may
be asking yourself, "Why is it covered in Saran wrap?" The answer is
simple: Rivalry Week. Every year around this time the grounds crew
covers all the statues and decorations on campus with Saran wrap
because of the pesky Ute fans. They tend to enjoy using spray paint to
express their feelings about the dominant Cougars. I'm not sure if
they take more extreme measures because of the home field advantage
this week but last year things were well-managed. Tim 1, this was for
you.

Twilight!!!

In N Out

Say hello to In N Out in Provo. It opened today.

Happy Halloween From E-577

So I'm sitting in my hospital bed with nothing to do, so you get a blog update. I've got a blood clot in my left lung but I've started taking blood thinning medicine so it's only uphill from here. I got to the ER Thursday night/Friday morning around 12:30. I then went back for a CT scan around 2:30 and was informed of my Pulmonary Embolism (PE) around 2:50. I was admitted to the hospital at 4:30 am and hooked up to a heart monitor. Since then I've had my blood drawn 4 times that produced probably 10 tests. 5 of them are to see if there is an underlying condition that would have caused the clot. The others are to test my blood level and the thinness. I'm taking shots called Lovenox and a pill called coumadin to thin my blood. The shots are more temporary than the pill. 1 week vs 6 months. I've had lots of visitors and hoping for more. I will be here until Sunday. If you are unable to come visit, text messages and phone calls are more than appreciated. 801-652-5104.
