My wife's back in the hospital for an overnight stay undergoing a trial for Meditronic morphine pump.


I fucking hate this thing. Even if it helps it can kill her if it kinks up or pulls out the catheter from any strenuous activity...it's got to be replaced every 5-7 years also through another surgery.

Now I will have to fight her, the doctor, and her pain med addiction for this her 9th and it will be her 10th surgery to implant it. I wanted to try one more round of getting her off or lower the pain meds but the resort type rehab I wanted to send her to didn't take my insurance, which is good insurance although ridiculously expensive...$2400 deductible and 11,600 or so maximum for family...it has a shitty mental health sub program though that no one takes. As soon as she got the implant test she started asking for anti-nausea meds again and saying the dosage probably needed to be upped...endless cycle of damnation for us...even if she's out of pain on the meds it's covering up something gastro...or maybe the pain meds themselves are fucking with her motility.

She's been backsliding all last week leading up to this surgery also, demanding I take her to the liquor store and finding hidden cigs that should have been gone years ago. So that's where she'll be at if I block this pump surgery.

I need a drink or ten and I'm at work.

*hugs Otaking and everyone*, as usual. Be strong.

Sorry for the short response, was faux-PMSing. -__-* Alanis Morissette helps, though.

*yes, almost impossible, that's why there's the faux-- the symptoms was... most concurrent (sic?) with PMS; low energy, heightened irritability, heightened defense.. minus the stomach cramps. *hugs the ladies*

I don't know what's wrong with me. Right now, I can't seem to feel much of anything. It isn't even that I'm feeling depressed. I'm feeling numb. I don't know if this will sound 'normal', but I seem to go through spells like this every month. I just can't feel anything and don't want to be around people. Heck, I end up just not wanting to do anything either.

I'm starting to get irrationally angry at all the people who spell Jamie's name as Jaime over at Khaos Komix. HIS NAME IS JAMIE GUYS SPELL IT RIGHT PLEASE. I know it shouldn't bother me but uh. It kinda does.

Every name spelled wrong in, er, Khaos
Another, er, tentacle monster gets its... tentacles.

Doesn't quite work, BUT YOU GET MY POINT.

I really hope someone gets that joke.

Woke up feeling alright if not a bit later than I wanted. No horrible winds today.

Got to work and I open my wallet to find someone had stolen 20 bucks from me. :evil: I can't believe anyone in my own home stole my money. DX Cuz yeah...yeah that's enough of a bad day for me. DX

Given what you've said about your brother...actually I can.

Yeah I'm sorta trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but...I'm bettin' it probably was him.

Well my mom gave me 20 bucks to make up for it so he now owes her 3,429 bucks. :/ Not a smart move for him.

So you guys know how I was planning to go up to Macon with my friend tomorrow, to celebrate the end of the semester/buy the Luna + Spike set/see whatever that movie she'd wanted to see was?

She just had to cancel on me. :( So now I have to either wait till next week, or find some other way of getting the set, and I don't get to spend the day with my friend or see a movie or anything. .__.

This isn't as much bad day as this is a problem I have to cross, but;
Apparently in here to have PayPal I need to have a credit card.

SIGH.

I'm not sure about the application and I'm not sure if I'm qualified to apply....without asking my father / family for help. And if I were to do so... SIGH. the potential "WHAT'S IT FOR"...I need to either lie, or be honest and face scrutiny.

On a slightly lesser note, this might mean my previous move was somewhat beneficial after all, if not at least protective in nature. Not sure what it says about my pride, but since when pride's important?

Auuuuuugh. I just cleaned out another bin of doom. I was right, I did have another copy of The Brothers War (one of my favorites, also, without it, much of the following history of Dominaria would have been very different) and it survived. Unfortunately, the next three books of the four book Artifacts Cycle didn't fare nearly so well, with two of the three being badly warped. :'(

Ugh...I know I haven't been commenting very well lately. My G/I appointment got moved back to July. Today I started bleeding again after two weeks without bleeding. I spent last week in a state of near panic.

I just want to know what the hell is going on with my body.

Oh yes, and I had to fight Google about my ads, but they finally got their butt kicked by my tech guy who told them that the complaints were homophobic in nature and had nothing to do with the content of the article in question- which I wrote four years ago about Sappho of Lesbos!

G quit, which is why I'm getting overtime. I'll be covering what would have been her shift tomorrow. Now that store is down to two front-of-house people and two back-of-house people.

Also, I have to fill the truck with debris again tonight/in the morning before I go to work. My feet are so pissed off at me. D: I bought some new insole thingies. I'll install those before I start, I think.

Just think of the money and the kitchen, Val.

I also have some drawings to do for Listia. Which is fine, but makes my weekend busier. I can probably work on those tomorrow while I'm covering G's shift. That store is so slow it's ridiculous.

I took a nap after work and just woke up a bit ago. So I should probably make some coffee or something to wake myself up. Bleh.
