Shiny Updateness!
Howdy doody yall! Greetings from 2007! Well, I'm just here to wish that you all had a safe and happy holiday season, and to fill you in with a 'readers digest' version of my life.
So, here we go. Mom has gotten better, and was out of the hospital well before Xmas. She still has no regrets about her actions, which is a little weird, but I've accepted it. And she also is back on good terms with Bec and Rach, so to speak. I mean, both were over my house for the first time last night since 'the incident'...... so...... *shrug* Mom is still in pain, and her bones are still not healing. All we can do is hope and pray for June to come around, when Mom will be off the Prednozone for good, and all the nasty physical side effects go away.
As for me, I got LOTS of presents this year. Freaking LOTS. Why, you ask? Well, remember that protected entry where I said my mom went on that prednozone induced shopping spree on QVC/HSN? Well...... guess who got the lot of em? Yeah. I mean, I love the gifts, so don't think I'm appreciative. I just got a lot of stuff.... that... I didn't need. Like a battery powered Feng Shui fountain to put in my apartment. I don't NEED it... but it's nice. But.... did my mom have to buy me a smaller, SECOND fountain for my bedroom too? '-_- Yeah... see what I mean about the prednozone? I got lots of board games I never heard of before, I got one of my posters framed from my trip out west.... now, this poster I got was really big, and it cost about 6 dollars.... my mother framed it for....... 200 dollars. -_- eh.... Well at least it looks pretty. *shrug* I thought about arguing with my mom on this, but then again, while she's on the drugs, it's basically like talking to a wall, so..... *shrugs again* The good news? We ARE taking a lot of stuff back, so we will have some inflow of cash coming in soon to help pay for this credit card nightmare.
And.... on the 28th, I got my tosils out, my adnoids out, and tissues inside my nose 'resized', or made smaller. HOLY SHIT!!!!!! God DAMN my folks for never making me get them out when I was young! It's now Jan 1st, and I feel just as shitty as when I left the hospital. NO LIE. The doctor explained why: When you're 8, and have them removed, it's just a tiny little snip here, and a snip there. Maybe a stitch or two, and the kid is done, and is back to being insane within the week. Well, since my tonsils were 70% larger than what they should be, mine wasn't so much a 'snip' as it was a 'cut... cut..... saw saw saw.... cut'... then a 'cauterize', then a 'stitch stitch stitch'.... then the same for the OTHER tonsil. The doctor was so happy to hear that I had 2 weeks to be home before going back to school, because he said I would need every single day of that for recovery. I'm going to be sore for a long ass time, he said. -_- And he's right. I'm still gingerly eating jellow through a spoon, and my portions are so ridiculously small. The only good news? I've lost 7 pounds through this ordeal. Woo-fucking-hoo. As far as my adnoids and nose... I was able to breath through my nose after 2 days. I'm fine with that now.
So New Years Eve.... kind of 'meh'. I sat on the couch with my grape juice (no alcohol while I'm on the drugs for my tonsilectomy)... which the grape juice tore the SHIT out of my throat... oh lord it hurt. I sat on the couch in severe pain while Dick Clark (bless his heart) drolled and slurred through another new year (he's just not the same since his stroke. :( ) And now, here I am. I'm on the 'upswing' right now. Meaning... I take a high powered pain killer every four hours. 20 minutes after taking this drug, I am on cloud nine. My throat still hurts, but I can at least choke down food then... and I also have energy. Now, after 2 hours of this 'nice period', I'm on the 'downswing'... where the pain becomes intense, I start hacking, and am bedridden till I take the medicine again. Yeah.... So I'm feeling good right now. But only for another 20 minutes before I go on the 'downswing' again.
Blah. That's all right now. I tried to make it as short as possible. Sorry for the long entry.
Happy New Year Everyone!
EDIT
Oh, and forgive any english errors here... I don't give a shit right now. I'm on drugs, and I can't type as well as I could before. Deal with it. ^_^
