So Much Ado About Shura (Health-wise)
So...it's probably about time I posted about everything, huh?
Okay, well to start with, I am now 21-years old. Yes, I am finally legally able to drink. "Congrats" to me, I suppose.
Anyway, the week of my birthday (thankfully after I saw The Dark Knight (which if you have seen it yet, shame on you--go do so!)), I got sick. So sick in fact that the doctors first thought I had hepatitis. It turns out that I had a gall stone get stuck in my pancreas, and it caused me to have pancreatitis, or however you spell it.
In other words, I had to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, it was really last-minute and really sudden and with non-tech-savvy parents, I wasn't able to tell anyone really. I had my gall bladder removed, and the surgery went fine. I came home two weeks ago, and I'm just about fully recovered. All the bandages have come off, and I have a slight infection with one of the incisions (but the doctor says that's normal and she gave me an antibiotic that I'm on), but I'm fine.
Sadly, being the "graceful" person that I am, I have injured myself yet again. Last night, Clyde decided to be nice and take me to Turner Field to see the Cubs play the Braves. We got great seats, I was finally going to see my Cubbies play...and I hurt my knee. I went up to get Clyde a beer and me some food (since Arby's screwed up my order), and I got lightheaded (a wonderful side effect to me having low blood pressure since surgery), misstepped, and my knee popped really badly. So badly in fact that I could hardly stand, let alone walk, so we had to go home. Don't worry, I'm better now--I can actually walk again. Hopefully, it'll be all taken care of by Monday so I won't have to miss my first day of class.
So yeah, this concludes part one of my update. Stay tuned for more (if you want to hear it lol).
