We're seniors!!!!!!!!!!!
I've realized yet again how much I adore indie flicks. I love being able to watch a movie and have it actually mean something, have a purpose for its creation outside of just making it for lots of money. Don't get me wrong, I love Hollywood blockbusters but its nice to see that there are movies made that have substance and depth.
I've spent too much time in hospitals lately. :^/ Jim is still in the hospital and its not looking good for him. They've started giving him so much drugs that he's completely out of it and sedated the whole day, which doesn't have any other purpose than to allow the nurses not to have to look after him (isn't that why the nurses are there? to look after the patient?). When there isn't someone there to watch him, they restrain him so he can't move. So not only does he have to lie there in a completely strange place without being able to talk because he has a tube down his throat, can't move his legs because they've been amputated, now he can't move any part of his body because he's being restrained and he's so drugged up that it's probably really scary to him. I'm sorry but that makes me really mad. Why is it that so much in America is solved by taking the easy route instead of the better route? Why is the first solution to drug a person up? Oh, you have a paper cut? Let me give you this tube full of morphine so you won't feel it. Argh!
And poor Jacob had surgery yesterday on his lung and was in a lot of pain when I went to go see him (and already addicted to morhphine! if you ever hear of someone stealing morphine out of an ambulance it will probably be Jacob :^P). My poor little brother, his eyes were so droopy and he seemed so weak. I felt compelled to rip out his huge chest tube and just grab his bed and take him to Melanie. Which wouldn't have done him much good physically but I know he would have been happy to see her! It was funny though the second my mom and I got in there he was in EMT mode, showing my mom all the pictures of his surgery, the chest tube he was connected to, his breathing treatments, etc. And I met his father and grandfather who are both really nice. And I figured out that Jacob and Jon get their type (?sense?) of humor from their grandfather! I swear, Jacob and Jon have the same way of doing things and talking, although their personalities are completely different.
Oemgee, I've been working in the wrong hospital! Tomball Hospital is like a hotel. It's crazy. I walked in there and thought that I was in some four-star hotel instead of a hospital. Nothing like HNWMC which is chaotic and dirty. This place is so clean and quiet and looks exactly like a hotel! Have I said that it looks like a hotel? Ha ha, ks going to end my rave now! :^D
So yeah, that would be my hospital update.
Haven't been doing much else since summer began. I've been reading a lot, which got my mom mad because I'm beginning to sell out Barnes and Noble and should probably start getting my books from the library instead. ;^D I've been kickboxing with my two fabulous friends (;^D) which is amazing because I get to punch and kick stuff and is so much fun it's indescribable! And playing golf, lots of golfing! Klein has a chance to actually go to State next year because we have a good team (Jill, Liz, Audrey, Megan, and hopefully me)and Woodlands, I think, won't be as much of a problem so gotta get cracking on that and get to lowering my score so that I can help achieve that goal. It would be so amazing to go to State my senior year! Yaya! :^D
Which reminds me, I should go play golf now and then probably off to visit Jacob with Mel in his hotel-like hospital!
