(no subject)
so i did pretty bad as far as that whole "im gonna update at least a few times a week" thing..
lets see.
my dad turned 63 a few weeks ago. i got him high plains drifter and we watched it together. good good movie it is.
chris still doesnt have a car because after his was sold he got PRK surgery. (similar to lasik but a slightly different procedure and slower recovery time) he opted for this over lasik because the doctor told him he would be unable to see or have blurred vision for about 3-7 days and would need to take vicodin for the pain.
which = to chris "i get to stay home from work and be pampered by heather and get to be on vicodin!"
unfortunately hes been in quite a bit of pain, more than what vicodin can remedy and its been 2 weeks plus a weekend since surgery and hes still not doing better.
he can see, but he's still uncomfortable and his eyes are still very sensitive to light. which means he cant really watch tv for more than maybe 20 minutes or so, and cant handle the computer. since all he can do at work is on the computer hes also been out of work for the past 2 weeks. that means no moneys for chris.
needless to say its pretty depressing for both of us; i do my best to cope with it but it is hard to spend so much time with someone you love and have to commiserate with them because theres nothing else i can really do. we spend lots of time just laying in the dark, we dont really go out anywhere because the light will bother his eyes. sometimes we get to listen to music though.
basically we are limited to sex and sleeping. youd think id be in heaven with those as my only options but even i get sick of doing nothing but those..
every once in awhile i get tired of it and make him roll over so i can watch tv but its kinda lonely and rude.
hes definitely at the end of the road with his recovery and although we've said this three weekends in a row, this should be the last one like this and hopefully he will be able to get a new car this week and he can take me to disneyland and make it all up to me. ^_^ (HINT HINT IF YOURE READING DARLING..)
i had a big day friday. i woke up at 8am to get bloodwork done
i got 5 different tests which means 5 vials of blood.
once we got to the lab my mom realized she left my other doctors lab order for me at home somewhere so we had to wait about an hour for him to fax over a new one
by that time i hadnt eaten in about 14 hours and then once they DID take all that blood i felt sooooo wooozy!
my mom took me out to breakfast afterwards and i have a big glass of orange juice and felt a little better.
then we had to take manchester to the vet but they couldnt get any urine so we have to bring him back and leave him there tomorrow so they can get a sample.
by the time we got home from picking up chris and dealing with manchester and going to the store and the lab i was so exhausted. chris and i both got in bed and just passed out. then i finally woke up around midnite, realized it had been ANOTHER 14 hours since i ate again but i was still too exhausted to drag myself outta bed and into the kitchen for food. luckily chris had half an energy bar for me.
i ate it and it didnt work- i passed out again about an hour later.
on saturday we went over to rachels house for a small party. i started to feel sick towards the end of the nite and had an ultimate embarrassing moment.
everyone was smoking outside and i started to feel sick so i went back in and sat down. then i decided to wander to the back bathroom "just to be safe"
I DIDNT MAKE IT!!!!!!
puke started coming out when i entered the hallway (bathrooms at the end) so i put my hands over my mouth and ran down the hall but the time i got to the toilet there was no puke left.
to make matters worse i somehow managed to spray it on both walls and a painting that was pretty high up on the wall.. i almost made it on the jesus painting on the other wall.. too bad i missed. hah.
im just glad it happened there and not on carpet. and since i hadnt eaten in awhile there were no food chunks to clean!
on that nasty note i think ill close.
chris goes home today and may try to put in some time in work tomorrow. it has been nice to spend so much time with him even if we couldnt really do much. but i am definitely looking forward to things getting back to how they were.
