Now that I'm all rested and have my thoughts all sorted, I can write about yesterday. I had my trach change appointment and the whole day went smoothly. I actually woke up in a good mood. It has been a rough few weeks, but I think I'm getting better.
Anyway, I wanted to feel cool and spiffy so I wore my cute Day of the Dead skull top that Barb's best friend, Rene sent to me, just because she thought I'd like to have it in my life. SO SWEET!!! I paired it with jeans and of course, I had to accessorize the hell out of myself lol I wore my matching ring and bracelet set from the boyfriend and my charm bracelet from Nelson. Barb put my hair up in a messy bun and I loved it! I'm really into the messy hair look lately.
Ok, I'm going to skip right to the hospital. We got my favorite driver and I was so happy about that. We got to the hospital a bit early, encountered a crazy lady on the bench as we got out of the van. She asked Barb, "Can she walk?" and "are you her mommy"...Yeah, I can walk, I just felt like sitting in a wheelchair that day lol Barb and I laughed when we got into the lobby. It was a good thing we got there early because I GOT TO SEE MAGGIE!!!! She was one of the nurses that took care of me in the ICU about 6 years ago. I was so excited when I spotted her that I yelled "MAGGIE!!!" lol She ran over and kissed me on the cheek. We chatted for a bit and I told her that I was going to see Dr. Cable and she said, Omg I love him." and I told her "Me too and hes so cute too!!" She told me that he asked her to work in the ENT Clinic and I was like, "You should!!! I'll get to see you more." She agreed I hope she takes the job. She's the only one out of the ICU Crew that's still here. Everyone else got stationed on the mainland....Military husbands and sch lol Maggie had to leave, but she wanted me to pass on a message to Dr. Cable..."Tell him I love him and that he's hot" lol I told her I would. I really didn't know how I was going to do it or go about it at the right moment.
Dr. Cable walked into the exam room right at 1:00pm and he was really pleased with himself lol He asked me the usual questions:
"How are you?"
"I'm good"
"Any problems with the trach...no bleeding?"
"Nope, no bleeding."
"That's good. Your voice sounds great. How are your ears doing?"
Of course, I had to be a smart ass and go, "HUH?" really loud like I couldn't hear him and he started laughing and apologized on the lae reaction lol
I saw that as my moment to tell him.
"Oh, I saw Maggie downstairs and she wanted me to tell you she loves you and you're hot."
He laughed and turned away a bit because e started blushing!! It was frickin adorable!! He changed the subject a bit and said that he thinks she's an awesome nurse and he offered her a job to work in his clinic. He also said that he has known her probably as long as I have. I told him that she mentioned the job to me and that I hope she takes it.
He really likes looking at my jewelry hehe. He was like, "I'm trying to see your cool jewelry...may I?" and he lifted my hand...ahhhh it's bad that all I could think was, "he's touching my hand!!" while he looked at the ring that my boyfriend gave me lol SORRY DANNY <3333
Anyway, he cleaned out my ears while they got a new trach tube for me. The clinic didn't have any in stock so he had one of the nurses go down to the OR and get one for me. Man, I can hear so much better that I could probably hear an ant fart. Awww I should've said that to him when he asked if it was better, but instead I gave him a "Yeah, totally" boo!! That was so lame lol
While Barb and I waited for the trach tube to arrive, we were giggling at the fact that I passed on Maggie's message and made him blush lol I started being silly and acted like I was sleeping, snoring noises and all lol I thought about keeping it up and have Dr Cable come back to a passed out Jeni. I had to stop because I really started to fall asleep. Narcolepsy much? lol
I'm not gonna go into detail on the trach change because it's the same every time and my hand is getting tired lol I got all the fun important things down though!
I shall end it here. I'll write soon.
