My Mom was over at my house on Sunday when I could catch the second half of the Lions game. Things were going pretty well but then I saw Saquon Barkley‘s run. He shed three guys for a first down. My Mom was in the kitchen but I called her to come see the replay because it was so amazing (Even though it was so not cool!).

I explained to my Mom about last year, the breakfast table naming him,”SaQUAD” because of this picture.

We scrolled through the images and also saw this one:

My Mom saw the pictures and asked me if he works on his legs. Well, YE-AH!!! I told Sean later in the day that she asked me that and then we both laughed.

I remember seeing him work out because he was injured a few weeks ago so they had footage of him working out on GMFB when I first saw the video, I wondered why he always wears spandex. Then, I thought about it more and those aren’t spandex! His quads are just HUGE!!!

So, GMFB had their #AngryRuns segment yesterday and I knew this run was going to be on it. What I didn’t know or expect was the unanimous vote!

I tweeted them after the segment was over:

I wanted to post about that segment yesterday but my Dad was on my mind pretty heavily! At the end of the segment, Kyle references Gnarls Barkley so, here you go:

Shaun O’Hara covered for Kyle today and he covered for Nate for the beginning of the week. He did a really good job! His eyes were so much more striking than when he would be in a suit for Total Access. He looked really at home today at the breakfast table:

They talked about Ron Rivera wearing his GMFB shirt and his presser and copied this picture from Twitter, I tweeted it out too:

I DEFINITELY will have to get one of those shirts! I think Shaun held his own and this song is playing over and over again in my head (It reminds me of my oldest brother) since he referenced it when talking about Aaron Donald:

I wasn’t up and in front of my TV until almost 8 o’clock this morning. So, I missed the first hour but I would catch that on the replay right after. I haven’t been feeling very well in the morning lately so I haven’t Tweeted the breakfast table much. I still was able to get out a few though. Kyle was talking with Kay he said, “Discombobulated” which made me laugh and I thought of young Sean and his deductive reasoning of a five-year-old and thinking that “Combobulated” was word. A follower of mine let me know that Kyle muted her a while ago.

I wondered about that because I annoy all of them with tweets constantly and wonder if I will ever be muted on Twitter. I did send a tweet to Kyle regarding Peter’s top-five underrated quarterbacks:

When Peter talked about #4, Kyle said that, “He moves in mysterious ways.“. Well, OF COURSE!!!:

Then the conversation switched to back up quarterbacks. Seeing that this is pretty much the year of the back up quarterback, Peter talked about replacements for Hollywood roles that I wasn’t aware of! He said that Chris Farley was supposed to be Shrek but due to his untimely death, Mike Myers filled in with his Scottish accent. Kyle said something about Smash Mouth which got me thinking about my senior year and this song played in my car when I was with my friends all the time!:

Lastly, I watched the beginning of the show after it ended at ten-o’clock. Shaun O’Jara (filling in for Nate) was talking about the Panthers and Cam not playing in the back of did you get into the rhythm and he talked about Janet Jackson’s, Rhythm Nation:

When I searched for information regarding this post on gmfb’s Twitter page, I saw this picture of Ron Rivera and I HAVE TO get that shirt!

After I saw my neurologist in September, my neurologist’s nurse arranged for me to receive physical therapy in my home. A woman named Sajada came over to see me a few weeks ago. She took my blood pressure and asked me a bunch of medical questions. She asked me what my pain was on the pain scale that I am very familiar with. She is a doctor of physical therapy and she told me I need to get an occupational therapist to come see me because she was not able to work with my legs. She had me work on a portable arm bike and put weights on my wrists to do certain exercises. She left Thera Bands for me to work with.

I was extremely familiar with all the exercises I completed with her and it made me miss Barwis a lot. I saw an occupational therapist named Guen last week and she watched how I navigate in through my home. She documented how I transfer with my Mom and wrote orders for an electric Hoyer lift. Sadly, it’s like that now. We talked about my pain level and the fact that I experience most of my pain in my right knee and I told her about my injury and subsequent surgery. She asked how the rest of my body feels and I told her that I have been in pain for so long that I can’t gauge what my pain level is.

She accepted my answer and it made me miss Barwis even more! It is my hope to get back there one day but I have some difficulty imagining that my knee will stop hurting so much. Given that both of my teams lost this weekend (Michigan and the Detroit Lions), everything hurts more. I’m not even finding solace in that Jewel song even though it’s in my head a lot.
