here's a day for the journal... though come to think of it: everyday i write in here would be a day for the journal, huh? in any case if you still read this then you must give a shit and i thank you. much love!
so anyway... first day off since last wednesday and it was action packed. woop woop. slept in. then got up and went to easton for the dreaded doctor appointment. he was nice. very friendly and told me every little detail i might want to know.. or not... about this surgery. first off he said on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 is tonsils that can stay, 5 being ones that need to come out) mine were a 4. no biggie, think i'll hang on to them as they're the only size 4 anywhere on me... so he said "look, it's gonna hurt. it'll hurt bad (gee, thanks doc). you'll go on these pills 4 days before the surgery. then, day of surgery you go to the hospital. it would be general anesthesia (great... who doesn't want to throw up after having someone put a whole in the back of your throat). after i woke up they would keep me for at least 4 hours. i have to be holding down liquids and soft foods before they will send me home. after i get home i am supposed to eat often and drink all the time. firstly this will hurt like a bitch; secondly, because of the size of my tonsils the pallet in the back of my throat that prevents stuff from coming out my nose when i swallow won't be used to closing all the way... it usually hits resistance and therefore has no need to close completely. but the blocking done by my tonsils will now be wide open... meaning that for the first 48 hours after surgery there is a 50% chance everything i try to swallow will come (rather forcefully) through my nose. oh joy. so, two weeks. no work. if i eat and drink like I’m supposed to, despite the pain, i shouldn't notice when the SCABS in the back of my throat heal up and fall off. nice, huh? so who wants a tonsillectomy now? anyone? anyone?
but he was nice. and honestly i could live with all that. two weeks and just be done with it. with the exception of being out of commission (and loosing my freaking mind) for two weeks i've had worse, so it's alright.. let's do it. but the timing sucks. if i'm gonna get this done now alot of stuff is gonna have to magically change and fast.
but after that my lovely sister took us all out to dairy queen. how was that for a surprise? and the ice cream felt so good on my now aching throat. ah the irony of it all.
so after that we came home. and for the first time in far too long i got to talk to my boyfriend again. WOOP WOOP! talked about everything from the fun to the serious to what the cake tasted like.. it was good. i miss him soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. just 6 days.. just 6 days. i'm so excited... and i just can't hide it... i'm about to lose control and i think i like it... ok, no more random lyrics in this one, promise. :)
but we got alot of stuff worked out and brought up to be worked out and what not. things are gonna be alright. he's got the planning down. i've got the worries covered. between the two of us all will work out.
after dinner i decided to ride out and see a friend of mine. check up on her, fill her in on my day and all. had a blast. we chatted for a bit then her, i and another friend of ours went riding around. gotta love her behind the wheel of a manual. hahahaha.... anyhow it was great fun.
but i gotta be heading to bed now i suppose. again, thanks for giving a shit. wish me luck in a few of the new adventures i am about to embark upon. much love and i'll see you again soon!
