May 29 ....I want you not to matter to me any more. I want your actions to no longer matter to me. And for once, I want to be wrong about you and I want to not be disappointed in what you do. May 24 OUCH!The doctor mentioned I would really be sore 3-4 days after surgery. Wowsers, he wasn't kiddin'. Owwie, owie, owie. Sleeping hurts, eatting is not happening, drinking is pure torture. Oh woe is me, oh woe, oh woe! May 19 Ah the tasty drugs....The tonsillectomy appears to be a success. I'm sore and talking is a burden as is eatting mushy foods. Only one day post op and I'm already sick of soup and pudding pops. The up side is the weather is very nice and we haven't had to turn on the AC. I did look down my throat and it quite clearly looks like I'm missing a huge portion of my flesh. No wonder its ouchy. I do wish I could've seen my tonsils they removed. The surgeon told the mom they were super fibrous due to my many infections and took more time to get out. I hear I will be wonderfully surprised how much I DON't get sick. Yippee! May 16 Pre-op out of the way, now to soft foodMy tonsils are due to be excised this Friday. Last fall during the snow storm of ought-six, I had my SECOND tonsillar abscess. Which landed me in the ER three times in as many days. I was pretty bad off and have since decided to have the offenders torched out o' my mouth. Monday I went for my preop visit and blood drain. I'm scheduled for 6 AM, which is painful, but I do get to come in my jammies, always a bonus. My mom is coming for the weekend to take care of me, the pie and the zoo. She is here to mostly make sure I DON'T BLEED TO DEATH. For the first 24 hours I get pain medications and ice cold liquids. Then two weeks of SOFT foods. I have to figure out what sorts of soft foods I'll be interested in. What is a soft non-sweet food? Mostly complex carbs that's what, ie. oatmeal, mashed potatoes. Anyone have any other ideas? something with a bit of protein? May 11 I feel like I've been ridden....hard and put away wet. I just finished my last final of the semester and boy was is it a whopper. Physics II. My last physics class. All I need is about 20 points from the 200 point final to pass this pain in my tail class. I have dis-enjoyed every portion of this lousy class and can't wait to see the door hit it on the backside on the way out. Only 2.5 semesters to go and I'm a workin' gal. Can't wait... as for now, I think I need a lot of drinks. May 01 I miss conversations...I need a talk. Not about what you did or what I did, but about who you are and who I am. About thoughts on events, beliefs and ideas. I read a quote once (no clue who is was, but it certainly wasn't me) about how small minded people talked about people, average minded people talked of events and intelligent people discussed ideas. I miss talking about ideas. Where has all of the good conversation gone? I'm not talking about touchy feely "what are you thinking?" type things, but genuine interest in something other than what the next test is going to be! Am I asking too much? I hope not. I found an old friend yesterday. He was my best friend in high school. He was even briefly at the same college, but then he disappeared and so did I. He's married with 2 1/2 kids living down under. I'm excited to get to know him again. Yippee for the internet! Other celebrations: last week of classes for the winter semester! |
