Sofa Life

For the past 2 weeks, I've been living on my sofa for an average of 23 hours each day. I was supposed to be moved out of my house, and on an away rotation in Sacramento, but with this broken ankle, things had to change. So someone had already moved into my old room, so now I live in the living room. I have to keep my foot elevated, so the whole day I'm lying on the sofa. Activities consist of on average:

9 hrs sleeping
4 hrs movies (Including Arrested Development seasons 1 and 2, starting the Lost series now.
3 hrs Ebaying, emailing, and surfing internet
2 hrs reading magazines
1 hr talking and eating with girlfriend, roomates, and family
1 hr napping
1 hr reading books
1 hr watching educational dvds (History of European Art)
1 hr daydreaming
1 hr up on my crutches doing things around the house and bathroom

Today was my first day on my Radiology rotation. I pretty much sit in my wheelchair at the hospital watching the attending and the resident talk about what they see in the computerized images. I hope they don't mind me leaving early every day. My foot and butt get very uncomfortable. I managed to stay there for 3 hours today, so maybe I can last longer tomorrow.
