Hi!
Yep- another result of boredom... a post from Lauren Beth! I've been home in Cleveland for more than week- and I have just opened a new chapter in my life. Just underwent a cochlear implant surgery on the 26th... I am glad to inform y'all that I'm MUCH better. It was quite the experience and will continue to be an experience throughout the summer and the upcoming year.
Tylenol with codeine has been my best friend throughout the tedious weekend. :-D Thanks TyCo!
Well, to sum it up- the operation was scheduled for 11 45 am- they gave me Versed to calm my nerves but to tell ya the truth- I was not that nervous. I think I was nervous enough the week before so that when the big day came- I was all "nerved" out. BUT I had to wait soooooo long- didn't go into the operation room until 1 30ish. It was really scary- there were so many big scary machines- but I was out before I could count 1. Tee-hee. Before I knew it- I was woken up- but couldn't stay awake for a good five minutes. It was not until 9 30 pm that evening when I could stay awake for more than 10 minutes... I stayed overnight because insurance covered a 23 hour, yes- a 23 hr, not 24 hr stay at the clinic. :) We were kicked out at 6 am (Mommy and me) and I arrived home on Friday at 7 am.
The weekend was good- the pain was awful but... looking back- it could have been worse. I wasn't dizzy or anything. *sigh of relief* Evan came in town Wednesday night and stayed til Monday- he was such a sweetheart. Truly. Everyone deserves an Evan. And- here I am- almost a week later and I'm just dandy. Only thing is the nerves in my ear are reallllllllllllly sensitive- it's annoying. And my jaw is stiff- it's hard to open it... *giggles*
I finally went out today! Went to the mall- so many cuttttttttte clothes... Put everything on hold- hopefully Mommy will go back with me later on tonight. I wanna work out- haven't gotten the chance.. so once I feel ALL BETTER- the gym better watch out...
On a different note- I miss everyone! Just wanted to thank everyone for their consideration throughout the weekend- each message from each one of you really brightened my day! :-D Thank you!
On another different note- I'm once again, confused. The opposite sex is really confusing. I dislike it. :-P I need to meet with Sabra!!! Alrighty- rant is over. Who knows when another post will be made. Cherish this! ;) MWUAH!
