An auction posting FOOL, I AM!

Hello everybody, wow, I've been under the radar for a bit, haven't I!

As many of you know (if you read this blog you do), I had surgery a couple of weeks ago. It went perfectly, although I wasn't feeling as good as I wanted to as quickly as I wanted to. Nevertheless, I had my follow up appt this past Wed., and got the "all clear." :) YAY!

The part that really sucks, as soon as I started feeling good again, I got hit with a terrible cold. I was NOT happy! I'm still sniffly, but I feel a gazillion times better than I did days ago. Add the stress of starting school, and geesh..it feels like I've been barely surviving each day.

Yesterday though, I was a picturing fool! I listed many auctions, in multiple categories - (and there are more coming today). The big one is on the front page of Ebanned - its a super hot set...a must see! So check it out, christmas is coming, and I have a prescription (Nexium) I need loot for too (and don't have).

Hope all is well with all of you!

Much love....

I hate sniffles...

So I had a pretty good weekend, minus the hangover yesterday. I had a bit of a sore throat, but didn't think anything of it.

Woke up today with a full fledged COLD. Son of a bitch! This sucks. I have a 14 hour day tomorrow between work and school. No way am I going to get on top of this one :( Being phlegm-y and sniffly and sneezy so isn't hot....nor fun.

Vitamin C, please do your thing quick, there's no time to be under the gun again, hell I'm still getting over surgery! Shoo cold, shoo!!!!

Today, I am HUMAN AGAIN!

Wow, I actually feel like a human being again today...first time since Tuesday. YAY!

Still sore, but best yet thus far. I think I'll go feed the ducks in a bit - I miss them, along with my bike rides (soooo not up to that though). The fresh air and a short walk will do me great, I do believe.

Ta ta for now (TTFN)

I've attached a few pics- flowers from one of my best customers, thank you!

Ick - Warning Gross Medical Stuff ahead !

So its my first post since I had surgery.

The past several days have not been fun. I have to admit, this has been way more gross and uncomfortable than I ever imagined.

I was supposed to go back to work today, but I just couldn't do it.

Let's start with the day of the surgery - It was "moved up" by an hour or so..what a joke! I went to the pavillion early, and then the actual surgery ended up being several hours later. I couldnt eat/drink after midnight, so by 2 pm the next day, I was a wreck. I had a migraine from the stress and no caffeine, and I was STARVING. I knew it was only going to go downhill from there. God bless my mom, for sitting there with me the entire time and never complaining. She is awesome.

Ultimately, Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty much a blur. General anesthesia always makes me throw up, so I addressed this with the doctor. He said he'd give me something in my IV to take care of it. I wake up, no nausea..yay! Well that didnt last long..when I woke up at home after a few hours of sleep, I felt horrific...between the headache and the drugs...it wasn't pretty. I ended up barfing pretty hard, multiple times..nothing but water, of course...which I surely needed to keep in my body - I was and still am, worried about dehydration (oh yeah, I had to drink a bottle of mag citrate the day before surgery, so I shot water out of my ass for 24 hours which isnt good for fluid retention either!)

Mom got my drugs for me (Vicadin), and my sis was and did stay with me for a few days..yay! I was sad when she went home last night. Anyhoo, the weirdest side effect was not being able to sleep lying down! I still can't. I think its from the gas they inflate your tummy with - its like when I lay down it tries to settle and lets face it, there isnt a lot of extra room in your abdomen - so it turns out being unbearable until I sit up. It seems to "settle" after a while though, and then I can lay down..but still = it doesnt equal quality sleep which is a must for me.

I also woke up after surgery with a maxi pad stuck in my crotch. I didnt know I might bleed afterwards until the nurse told me - and I of course, didnt have any panties on because of surgery so that was weird. Mom had to buy me pads at the pharmacy - I havent even seen one in person for 20 years! I hate them! But guess what, I'm not allowed to put anything in my vagina for 2 weeks...WAAAAAAAAAH! I guess that wont be a problem though, the plumber is on the shit list again. He doesnt deserve me in any way, shape or form so he certainly isnt sticking his dick in any part of me anytime soon, if ever again.

At least the bleeding was very minor, almost non-existent. I didnt realize how "non-maxi pad friendly" my panty wardrobe is however, as well as most of the clothes and pajamas I own. I cant stand to wear anything that puts any pressure on my tummy, so I havent gotten dressed since Tuesday. I havent looked at my belly button (where the incision is), because every time I think about it I want to pass out - and if I actually look, I will pass out. That would be bad, ya think?

Well, I'm feeling lightheaded again, so this is it for now.

Thanks for everyone that wished me well.... :)

Getting NERVOUS...

The butterflies are kicking in. Surgery is tomorrow.

I'm surprised nobody has asked me what I'm having done - probably because it was about a year ago when my mystery ailment started giving me fits. Well folks, I am not having my gallbladder removed. This procedure is elective - and I am looking forward to it. ( I have been taking Nexium for months now, and it's really been a lifesaver - because it WASNT my gallbladder!)

I am having a tubal ligation - yes, I am being voluntarily sterilized.

I am in my 30's, and I have never, ever wanted children. There is NOTHING about it that appeals to me. NOTHING. Its time to stop fooling around with birth control that makes me sick, fat, grouchy, and the list goes on and on. I need/want a permanent solution, and this is it. (although it is only 99.9 % effective as well for some reason).

I thought about doing this a few years ago, but someone told me that you could only be "fixed" if you had a mental condition or some shit like that. I am not the most sane person around (LOL), but I dont think that's what they meant, ha! Well, times have changed. My insurance is awesome, and they pay for it 100% (except for a small copay). I was surprised how easy this was. I simply made an appt with my gyno, told her I wanted the procedure,and the following week I met with the surgeon (that was on 10/3). I didnt have to "consult" with anybody, go through any counseling to be sure this was the right decision for me, nothing. Meet the surgeon, schedule the procedure, and that's that. I'm grossed out - they will go in through my belly button, and then BURN my tubes. Gag.

Friday I had blood drawn - I am such a freak about needles. I was proud of myself, I didnt even come close to passing out. YAY! Today, I have to go get a bottle of magnesium citrate. That's the nice, chemically correct term for what it really is = POOP JUICE. So I'll get to spend my entire day in the bathroom once it hits. BLECH. Nothing to eat/drink after midnight tonight - but my procedure isn't until 12 noon tomorrow. I am going to be STARVING.

Breakfast is a MUST for me. My brain is always in fog until I feed it with coffee and some sort of sustenance. I'm sure once you throw in the drugs, I'll be a real treat by late afternoon! Ha! Oh well, maybe I'll lose a few pounds..that would be sweet.

I'm kinda excited, my sister is gonna stay with me for a day or two..I miss having her around. She doesn't have cable, so I know she'll be thoroughly enjoying the chance to watch HGTV undisturbed with Gus on her lap :)

So wish me luck, I heart all of you!
