hospitals 'n such
sorry for the delay ;( you know how you've got all this time between work and sleep and somehow it disappears between the parking lot and the driveway? anyway, i never seem to get into the office...mostly because it's little bro's room now and he likes to keep the flarging door locked. not to mention that the two gremmies are always on line...stupid myspace
but i digress...my test came back kind of positive, i don't have colitis but i'm not far from it, and i've got bleeding ulcers in my colon. i've been put on meds called, i kid you not, anusall, and i'm on a total high fiber diet. caffeine has also been taken off the menu, but i can't live without my morning coffee, and i need a coke every now and then, so i know i'm not helping myself but seriously, you try living without your sugar crutch cold turkey, not easy. i'm also supposed to de-stress myself as ye olde ibs is the primary cause for all my woes. i've cleaned my room and car and they've stayed clean for two weeks now, so that's helping. i'm also trying very hard not to get all worked up over everything *my bro's have accused me of being overly sensitive about everything, and they do have a teeny weeny point, but i'll never admit that, they have enough ammo*. i've also started to work on my pile of ideas. zoning out on my art helps so much when i feel like pulling out my hair. i made my boy this awesome hemp bracelet for his birthday, and just now realized i could've posted a pic as we have a scanner, second best to a digi cam, best thing i've got anyhow. so yeah, that's how it goes with my health atm.
daddy had his right knee replaced tuesday...not helping my stress. i went to see him that night and he was as white as his sheet. i also had a mini freak out, i kissed him goodnight, and since he's lost all the weight, he looks just like my grandpa bill. which makes sense that he looks like his dad, but as i bent over him and he lifted his head up to me i got the exact picture of when i kissed my grandpa goodbye. i pushed it away and then kinda lost it when i was having dinner with trav, and i still can't get that picture out of my head. he's had 5 transfusions between then and today, and his blood pressure has been so low that they've not given him any pain meds, so he's been in agony and very sick. the doc removed bone chips and all sorts of other things, he said it's the worst knee he's ever worked on and is shocked that my dad could walk at all. he's coming home tomorrow, and i think once he's outta the hospital i'm gonna feel better. i've never liked hospitals anyway, spent way too much time in them between my issues and my daddy's.
i can't wait for my sailor moon model to arrive, i'm pissed it's taking so long. yes, japan is far away, but airmail shouldn't take so friggin long imo. i'm working on my gundams in the interim...remember, the ones i bought the last time we were at sdcc? good times, missing them so much. am coming to visit in the winter, i can't wait much longer than that i don't think. should get back to work, my inbox is about to overflow ;P
