I tried my best. I would have been better off going to Point Pleasant/Gallipolis but it's January cold out there. (it was 25F when I left at 11). I like the cold mind you but the tibia they pounded those spikes into aches when the weather changes. And if I'm honest I've been doing the local shops for the last month. So today I did go to the donut ( Read more... )

and I had no nice fire. So I walk out the door (without the clothes I wanted to donate to the veterans) and get hopeful. There's no rain but it's grey. I'm about 20 miles out of town when a blinding ice storm hits. It is so bad even 18 wheelers are doing 45 mph ( Read more... )

ever since the surgery I'm struggling to sleep. Oh I fall asleep fine but I don't stay that way. I fell asleep last night getting my book, woke up an hour later wondering why it was so bright, how had I slept til morning? Oh right it was only a 50 minute nap and that's the bedside light... Also woke up an hour before the alarm. whee ( Read more... )

So tired when I tried to signal a left turn onto my road, I put down the window instead. When I rolled into the parking lot, I couldn't figure out why the car wouldn't shut off. I was pushing the fan knob instead of the off button. Probably a good thing I was getting out of the car ( Read more... )

it ended up being a 10 1/2 hour day which was hella long for my first day back. Honest the worst of it is how tired I am. The belly feels like...ever have a GI 'flu' and have 24 hours of diarrhea, that dull ache after that? Yeah that's what it's like ( Read more... )

It was a smooth easy drive if you ignore my parents had to drive me here, turn around and go straight home. That was their choice in part. Mom wanted to come alone again and stay until monday. I think I mentioned tomorrow ANY of my friends here could have met them in Marietta to pick me up. Today no one could make it. And it's supposed to rain/snow ( Read more... )

Major accomplishments: dyeing my hair and realizing for 2 weeks I've forgotten the write up on both my sabbatical proposal and the conference I went to. Stellar ( Read more... )

Mom's like can you make the thanksgiving soup tomorrow. I wanted to make it today but she's making ahead a stupid amount of food so I said yes. Now I have to do that early on. Oh well. Also this is why I don't like coming home for Thanksgiving too much food for too little people. (not to mention I'm done at work in 2 weeks ( Read more... )

I decided today since we're 8 days out I could cut away that dermabond around each incision. I'm allergic to glue on bandages so I only put it over the worst of the incisions and steri strips on the two other port incisions. I think I should have sucked up the itch because that one is completely healed. The one on the right is healing but the one ( Read more... )

So it's been a week since the surgery. I think that I'm doing pretty darned well. Honestly the only pain I have is when I have to compress my abdomen (so the bathroom isn't much fun) I'm not particularly tired then again I'm not exactly doing much other than sitting around. (so bored) Making the choice to look at that report helped ( Read more... )
