soooo...
so- shirley went in for surgery- had a TAH. I was with her before and after pretty much all day tuesday. She went with her grandma, friend lisa and her husband craig (yep). I sort of stayed out of the way and in the background. while she was in surgery i went and saw xmen 2 near bye and later came back and sat with her when craig took her grandma (jenny) to go pick up her suitcase and stuff so jenny could stay the night.
yes I am a glutton for punishment... i know this =\
I just sat near her and read a magazine.
Lots of bleeding occurs from this surgery- not bleeding out persay- more like aunt flow is in town- much more so than EVER. but I was there for her- got the nurses to help her change out bed pads and other stuff. Got her comfortable and then sat back down and read. I held her hand when she was in pain- moving or just momentary unbearable points- she even said "I love you nick- I'm glad you're in my life..." To which i took with a grain of salt and said nothing in return, but I continued to hold her hand for a little while longer until I purposely put it down and under her covers (while she was awake).
Later I went by work- picked up a card I bought for her - so people could sign it. I returned the next morning before work to give it to her.
later, after work I called her- to get permission this time to visit- and she had company..... so I thought, "thats good enough- I don't need to be there." I don't think I'll go visit her again. I really want too but i really want a lot of things =)
wish I could have done this in november-december and stuck with it. =\ =)
I'm doing good though- went and had blood drawn like my doc told me to do. i guess they're looking at thyroid something or other... the lady asked if I had been fasting ebcause they needed a fasting lipid (insert various testing name here)- I said no- but I figure with as little as I've been eating recently it'll be good enough.
and no I don't not eat - when I'm hungry I do- just haven't felt hungry recently. =) good little side effect though- I've lost weight haha... so when I do start having more of an appetite soon- I'll be walking or joggin so as not to add back weight.
stupid american food- =P
but yey new stresses about to be added to my life- and no roommate (hes in dallas for a week or so)... so I get to be a little more alone than usual... weird- I used to be good at being alone (I usually liked or didn't mind alone time)- guess something changed and I just don't want to be alone as much anymore.
bah =)
nap time perhaps...
