It's been a while

It’s been a long time since last post. I feel better now. Yay!

So here’s what happened: I slept a lot. But seriously, TMH was great from what I remember. Everyone was really nice. They gave me something to “relax” that promptly made me fall asleep. I woke up once in recovery to throw up on myself. The nurse said something and shoved a towel on my shoulder. I fell back asleep. The second time however, I was aware enough to tell the nurse and she gave me a cup. The towel I think had disappeared by then. By the third time, I was pretty awake and got a new cup and they decided to give me something else to combat the nausea. Which almost immediately made me fall back to sleep. Andrew said it took a lot longer to wake up than they had told us.

We stopped to eat on the way home. My throat was really sore from the breathing tube I guess. I had to take a sip of water with every bite to get it to swallow. I didn’t eat much and I was falling asleep again. That’s pretty much how it went for a few days. They gave me Percocet, but it is more of an uncomfortable thing than a hurt thing, so I only ended up using a few. They didn’t help. I hate sleeping on my sides. I think I’m over the sleeping-on-my-side thing because Andrew said I was sleeping on my back snoring a few days ago.

We went to Ruby Tuesday for some “roughage” because all I had eaten in as few days was fries. When Andrew left to use the bathroom I began arguing with a song on the radio just as the waiter stopped by. I might be embarrassed the next time we go if I could remember who the guy was. Silly anesthesia.

Andrew’s family came over for pizza on Monday. It was the most that I was able to sit up without being dizzy. I think everyone had a good time.

I have one more appointment to get the stitches out and then I’ll be golden!

On a completely unrelated note, it was so cold this morning that all the grass had frost on it. I hope I didn’t kill my spider plants. We went to get coffee and there was such a layer of ice on the car that the cup kept sliding off the roof. Silly ice. Temperatures in the teens are too cold.

Surgery

So the doctor finally called me back (it only took two days). It seriously took 3 minutes of the scheduler’s time. Surgery is Thursady. Woot >:( Pre-op is on Monday.

More of my time these last few days was spent creating this look. So I don’t have a lot of content today.

I think I’m sick. I’m supposed to be taking antibiotics. I hope that clears up the cough.

Xmas Eve!

Happy Xmas Eve! I’m so excited!

Last night almost all the Watkins’ got together for dinner at Morallia’s (sp?). Man did that waiter work! 20+ people and he was all by himself. But I don’t think he got any orders wrong. It was nice to talk to Carly and Aunt Shelly. It was nice to see everyone else too; we were just sitting next to them. At the end of the table. Near the wall. lol

Tonight is dinner with “the in-laws” and presents I think. I’m making Andrew wait until Xmas morning to open his from me. I don’t really know what’s going on though with stockings and such on Xmas. I guess it really doesn’t matter :)

I had to go get a blood test today. So I figured it might be busy. I forgot it was Xmas Eve. It took like 15 minutes. I got there at 6:30 and was walking slowly to the car since I don’t know where my office keys are. The lady was wonderful. He roped off my arm and patted and patted and patted. I told her that you can at least see the vein on top of my hand. So she flipped my hand and was like “Woah, that’s much different from your arm. I’ll make a note of that.” She hit it the very first time. Yay! And luckily the office was open. I think someone forgot to lock it last night though because I did a walkthrough and didn’t see anyone. I have a Dr. appointment later this morning too. I have a big ol’ band-aid on my hand though because she didn’t want the cotton ball normal thing to come off.

Woohoo! It’s Xmas Eve! At 7:45am, Santa is in Khabarovsk, Russia *<]:{D}}}

Doctors and Tallahassee

So this time the doctor was much less traumatic. I got a referral to go consult with a surgeon, and the referral lady made the appointment for Xmas eve. I was like “seriously?”. She hadn’t realized it was Xmas eve though. Whatever. So she was trying to tell me where the doctor is, and she’s like “near the manatees” and I was like “what?” and she was all “if you go see the manatees and look confused like you do now, someone will come help you. There are elevators somewhere.” Thanks. That’s helpful. My boss told me where I’m going this morning. I think his wife works there. Apparently it’s a fountain. Like the dolphin statue fountain thing downtown.

I love Tallahassee. Downtown is so pretty, especially now that it’s Xmas. They put lights in the trees and it’s just so pretty. I love it here. I like to walk downtown. We usually go when there are craptons of people though. It’s nice to walk during the day when it’s cool outside. It’s really pretty in spring too when all the parks are blooming. But I seriously need to go to the top of the capitol building. I’ve never been. I want to see Tallahassee from above. Maybe we’ll go sometime. I’ll have to find out if it is open on Saturdays. I know the old capitol is, but I don’t know about the observation deck.
