Oh, Livejournal, I've missed you. The fact that I can't remember my livejournal password is proof that facebook and myspace really do take over lives. Before those two websites, I was addicted to LJ. Well, I haven't been on myspace for probably a year so I think I can multitask fb and LJ now. Especially since I am going to have a lot of free time in the near future.
The ankle surgery was on Monday. We got to Union Memorial at 8 and only had to wait until like 8:30 until I went back and had to get into a robe and everything. The hospital was so nice. They, like, give you a fabric robe that opens in front to go over the paper thing that shows everyone your ass. And while I was waiting and getting hooked up to the IV, I was in a recliner. I was so comfortable haha. OMG and they took my temperature with this forehead thermometer that they use now cause it doesnt get the same amount of germs on it as a tongue thermometer so its easier to clean it. But it felt so weird; I felt like a robot lol. And of course they stuck me 3 times until they found a vein that the IV could actually go through. I wasn't even dehydrated like I was at the FBLA blood drive, my veins are just like invisible.
So I walk into the surgery room and lay on the table myself and everything because they didn't give me the anastesia until RIGHT before they cut me open. It was really weird being in the operating room. Haha it was so different from the rooms on Grey's Anatomy, but I'm not surprised about that. Ugh the nurse that was hooking me up to machines kept moving around my robe, and I flashed my surgeon's fellow. Lol, he was kind of cute. But that was really embarrasssing.
I don't know how long the surgery took or how long it took me to wake up afterwards, but we got home around 2 so it was probably a while. My parents said I was singing the radio jingle in the recovery room and I sang really loudly the whole way home. But I sang the wrong words. Haha, oh what drugs can do to a girl. This time around they have me on percocet instead of oxycodone. But percocet makes a lot of people nauseous so I have to take an anti-nausea pill along with it. Not that it helped much.
They always say the first 24 hours is the worst, and it was true for me last year; but this time it wasn't too bad. It might be because I was sleeping the whole time except for going to the bathroom. But the first time I got up to go to the bathroom and wash up, I got insanely dizzy from doing too much too fast. So I ended up in the bathroom for a while hanging over the toilet. Luckily, nothing came up lol. This happened again the next 2 times I got out of bed. So yesterday I pretty much stayed in bed. But right now I'm in the family room. It seemed like a good idea, but now I don't know how I'm going to be able to scoot up the stairs on this dosage of drugs. And I'm gonna have to do it before I can sleep or anything.
I haven't exactly been up for visitors yet, unfortunately. Julie stopped by yesterday on her way to gymnastics to bring by some feel better gifts. She brought me some balloons and lent me the first season of Brothers & Sisters. It's funny because I knew that she was going to bring it over, and the day before my parents were like, "we have a present" and bought me the first season. I wasn't even polite, I was just like "I don't want that I just want to borrow it from Julie. Buy me Will & Grace" haha. But they always do that, buying me DVDs of shows I don't even watch. My dad bought me Friday Night Lights for my birthday and I hadn't even ever seen an episode of it. But he really liked it, and thought I would. After a while he didn't even pretend that he wholley bought it for me. He wanted it.
But right now I started the first season of What About Brian? that I got my mom for Christmas. I really like it. The actor that plays Brian is gorgeous. He's that guy from Catch and Release and was on 7th Heaven...I think he was Matt? There are too many characters on that show to keep straight. Well I need to eat and take drugs and go to bed.
I'm glad to have livejournal back :-)
I think I might have to go through and delete some of these really dumb entries though...
