I'm Bored

So I had my shoulder operated on, on Tuesday Mar. 10th and it went pretty well. There was a small problem..... my bones are a little soft which isn't good but we are working on that. It was a labrum repair. That's a tendon in your shoulder. They fixed it and now I'm in a sling and have an ice machine. It's been such a pain in the ass. I hate being chained to a machine. I hate not being able to do things for myself. I haven't been able to drive and won't be able to drive for at least another couple of weeks. My mom is here helping us out b/c Tommy is out of town for the next two weeks over the weekend as well. It sucks! I'm in a bitching mood as I'm sure is obvious. I'm glad that my shoulder will be fixed and won't be popping out of it's socket anymore but it's a long recovery process. My mom has been great with all of us. I think it will be fine but I'm so bored right now. I have been reading a lot which I love to do. I've been reading to the kids and reading my book. I finished one and am starting another one. I slept all morning today with my kitten, daisy which I normally don't do. I'm bored. Someone who wants to come and sit with me and cheer me up, please call me. I'm really interested in something fun!

Helpful people.....

So I know that I am blessed to have my mom here to help me for weeks after my surgery. I am truly thankful for that too. She has been very helpful the last few days and I know she will continue to be. Unfortunately Tommy just found out that when he goes out of town this Monday it will be for two weeks straight through next weekend as well. It has to do with the Ga crew coming up to help with a job in Baltimore and if he is working with them he has to work like he is part of their crew which means working two weeks straight. The overtime will be great! The weekend away will suck! The just told them they were going to start working 4 days a week and 10 hour days and then they tell him he'll be out of town for two weeks straight! That means my mom needs to be at my house for two weeks straight. I feel bad for her. She can go home for a while during the day but she still needs to sleep here and be here with us to help me. And in all of this my brother has already started complaining about taking care of Sophie, my mom's mom. I guess she is my grandmother you could say. I never knew her growing up or anything. She came to live with my mom when she found out she had alzheimers a few years ago. But anyways she has a hard time remembering to go to the bathroom and whatnot and Steven has had to clean her up and he hates it. Well I need my mom right now more than he does so too bad it what I say. Well there's my rant for the day.

Surgery day came and went!!!!

So I was very nervous about my surgery this morning but they keep you talking and distracted long enough to not notice how long you are sitting there. So it's not too nerve wracking when you get into the back. That being said it was kind of quick. When they told me they were giving me a nerve block I kind of panicked. The nurse explained that they would stick a needle in my neck and that didn't make me happy. They gave me an iv which really hurt BTW. They always hurt more in the hand. Then they gave me anti-nausea drugs b/c I puke easy with anesthetic. And then they say they are putting something in my iv for sedation so they can do the block. When they put it in I immediately smell citrus. Weird, right? So I ask if that's normal and they say no not really. And then I say wow those drugs work fast. And I went out for a few minutes. At some point the Dr. and I marked my arm for surgery. When I woke up I was in the surgical room and they were giving me more drugs and taping my head to the headrest so it didn't fall during surgery. They said it was for safety. Then I realized just how "dead" my arm was. Then I was out again until the nurse woke me up.

Issues: The surgery went well. There was a labrum repair. The problem he ran into was that he didn't meet nearly the resistance he should have for a woman my age when he drilled into the bone. He said my bone is too soft. So now I can't start physical therapy for 3 weeks instead of 1. He wants to make sure his repair sticks and holds. I have a call in to my dr. to talk about it. And before I get helpful e-mails.... I take 1200 mgs of calcium a day and 4000 iu of D-3 a day amongst many other vitamins. So I shouldn't have this problem.

It's after 9pm and I am still blocked. It's gotten annoying now. It hurts to be numb so long. And my arm is "dead" and I can't move it. So I am typing this all with one hand! ugghh... it's getting old. If anyone wants to come around and sit with me.... I'm here.

My cat is a fuck!

So I love my new laptop.....A lot. And I have FIVE cats. All of which I love differently. But my Noah is a fuck. He really is. Ever since he was a baby he has chewed wires. But tonight he chewed a hole into my laptop wire. The cable that charges my laptop. I am so mad at him. He is such a meanie! He's been scratching my couch tonight too. It's like he's mad at us or something. Very odd behavior for him to get this bad all in one night though. Anyways, just had to bitch about it.

Tommy is going to fix it b/c to buy a new one is $65. I may just buy a new one anyways in a couple of months as a just in case if he tried this again. I can't afford to not be able to use my new pretty laptop. I like the webcam/microphone feature that I can use with Jess all the time. And I will take advantage of it after my surgery too!

Anyways, there's my rant.

New Laptop!!!

YAY! I Finally got my new laptop! And this time it was right and I didn't have to send it back! It was the "big" item that we got with the tax return this year. Including a PINK mini mouse, a 4GB flash drive, 25 light scribe dual layer writeable CD/DVDs AND a photosmart wireless printer. All for a great price too! I got about $240 off of it when it was all said and done.

So I had to go pick up both laptops from FedEx but it was worth it to have it right and have a great system. It's new and pretty and it has the alpha numeric keyboard on the side and I was hoping for that. I love it. Now I have to use my new flash drive which I got for FREE to get some pics of the kids onto this puter from my desktop. I'll get on that today.

This is my anniversary and birthday gift all wrapped up into one. I've been wanting one for so long and now it's finally here! YAY! Happy Day! It's so nice and has a 250 gig HD, 4GB of memory, 64 bit vista, 2.2MHz Processor.... it's just nice and new and pretty and MINE. All mine!

Anyways, that's my news.

Love and Hugs,
