10:40 pm - application is finally in...
|
been working 12 hour days all week...so today was the day to get shit done.
went to doctor to get my light duty lifted...finally
he is not very thrilled with me when I mentioned I was jogging saying "the 2 month window is the most critical point in your healing...it is weaker than a month ago...blah blah blah"...so he said "Since you are so active, I am going to get you fitted with a knee brace. Wear it as much as possible until October, and then for any sport activities for at least a year"
left the clinic...saw I had a flat on my bike...so walked back up to the bike shop and bought a few tubes (and chain lube)...fixed tire and went back down to the orthopedic place by the clinic and got my knee brace...
THANK GOD FOR INSURANCE!!! When they showed me the price I started to take it off...then they said that insurance will probably cover all...if not, the max I have to pay is 200. Original price is 983 dollars!!!
http://www.breg.com/knee-bracing/ligament/x2k.html
Its pretty cool looking and light...shouldn't be too bad to wear it...but not under most of my jeans (too tight).
Turned in the application for the mortgage...he perused it and said it will not be a problem...and another place opened up...next door...1100 square feet...2 bedroom...for the same price!!!
the outside looks the same...just 250 square feet bigger...and still has a garage.
This one is bank owned...not a short sale or someone trying to make a few bucks...so I might be able to get a better bargin on this one.
Going to look at it on Sunday...so we will see if it is as nice as the 1 bedroom that I want
well...staying in tonight...might go see the Rev. Horton Heat tomorrow...still debating that...have too much to do around here though

7:58 pm - Shit...
|
I got ripped off again!
But this one was really weird...they went in both cars...dug through the glove compartments (nothing there)...pulled the locking cap off the mercedes wheel...laid it on the front seat of the car...stole the mercedes manual I had on the floorboard...disconnected the battery in the camaro and put it on the floorboard???
The only thing I can think of is that they were making it easier to get them later.
Well...now the cars are locked up like ft. knox!!
I fixed the rear door on the mercedes, so it is all locked up now...
I fixed the hood enough on the camaro...and bent everything out enough to put the battery back in...and lock the hood (I could have swore that the doors were locked on that car)
I think they took one of my new headlights...not exactly sure just yet...have to dig through a few boxes to see if I left it inside for some reason.
They did not take anyting of serious value...like when they took my air compressor and battery charger (that damn thing was 200 bucks)...but it still pisses me off to no end that they fucked with me again. (the lousiville slugger is now by the door instead of in the closet).
Since I was on a roll and working on all my shit...I decided to put tags on the mercedes (it is now legal to drive even though...nevermind)...and while I was at it...I had an idea I wanted to try...
Why not see if I could get tags for the camaro. I have it titled in Washington...but since it had a boo-boo...I never took it to get a smog check.
Well...I don't know if it is my pretty face or charming demeanor (yeaa riiiight)...I guess she forgot to look up that the car has never been smogged...so now I have tags that do not expire until next july on the camaro...hehehehe...im sneaky like that
I think I have a clue on at least what the guy(s) who fucked with the car are...when I was waiting for the bus to go to the courthouse for my tags...a brown mercedes (maybe diesel...its a smaller late 70's-early 80's 124 chassis) stopped in front of the house...but left when i was about to cross the street to check it out. They would be one who needed the manual (I only needed it for checking out the wiring...since I am a super genius about the car and all). the 16" rims with brand new tires would fit on that turd brown piece of crap...but too bad...THEY AINT GETTING MY FUCKING RIMS!
well...work tomorrow...and finally..I feel like I have accomplished a shitload today (paid tons of bills also)...even went for a jog (short one...knee feels a lot better...but still not gonna run a marathon anytime soon)...went to bike shop...won't be ready until Friday (they promised this time...only had it for a month and a half...backordered parts...LOL)
so now I am kicked back with 2 cheezeburgerz and a root beer watching movies till I fall asleep

10:45 pm - I decided...

On this one...
http://www.johnlscott.com/propertydetail.aspx?GroupID=200542785&ListingID=300172494&Sort=0
I am going to the real estate office tomorrow to fill out all the stuff for the bid...then get everything ready for the mortgage company...
I am really excited...this is what I need (big space...garage...big kitchen...my own washer and dryer...hehe)...but...
I am trying not to get my hopes up too much...because we all know what happens when I do that (it all turns to shit)
I still want to leave this city...but it would really not be possible during this time...with the job market and everything...so if I am going to live here...it might as well be someplace nice...LOL

8:53 pm - Condo's, condo's, and moooore condo's
|
Well...I went and saw about a dozen today...and have the list narrowed down to 2...maybe 4...LOL
The shitbox is out of the question...the reason they did not list if it was VA approved was because they hoped if someone saw it, they would just try to make a cash offer...LOL
The whole building is rentals...section 8...or slumlords trying to make a buck...it was worse than I thought.
Sooooo...I looked at a few more places...and went out of my price range...not by much...but it seems like there was an invisible wall separating 10 thousand dollars...LOL
I wanted to live on the super cheap...and with buying a place...that is not an option...with renting...It would be about the same as now...maybe a bit bigger and a washer and dryer.
but the places I have seen today...I was suprised and Impressed.
Here are the 2 that are in a dead heat with each other...and happen to be nearly across the street...LOL
http://www.johnlscott.com/propertydetail.aspx?GroupID=200542785&ListingID=300172494&Sort=0
http://www.johnlscott.com/propertydetail.aspx?GroupID=200542881&ListingID=300005255&Sort=0
(i am using john l. scott because they have the easiest interface...Preview Properties is the agency I am using)
both would cost about the same after mortgage and housing fees...more (a lot more) than I wanted to spend...but...wow...you should check them out!
the first one has the obvious advantages...it is 867 square feet (HUGE for a 1 bedroom)...plus a garage. The appliances are OK...the paint is pretty nice...the garage is the selling point for me...I can hide the crashed car until I save the bones to get it fixed...
the second one...well...DID YOU SEE ALL THAT FUCKING GRANITE!!! it has about 10k worth of stone work...hardwood floors (which I like)...all brand new appliances that are unsullied by human hands...stainless steel with the water thingy on the fridge I might add...and has a 5 thousand buyers bonus...which means I could fix the car so it would look normal AND pay off one bill I have that would make the payment a bit less stressful. And...everything has been done less than a year ago...so it is pretty much a brand new building. Also...DID YOU SEE ALL THAT FUCKING GRANITE?!?!?!?!?!?!
A few things...the place with the garage has only been on the market for a month and a half...so the price would not be very flexible (the granite one has been on the market for 7 months)...its on Casino...which is ummm..."interesting" to say the least...LOL...good for people watching if you want to see nutcases, hookers, and dope deals (that was my friday night walking to work)...but...its farther west, next to the golf course...pretty nice area actually (except for that gang related drive by last year)
Both places are close to work...and fred meyer (Kroger/Ralphs for all you non washington types) is about half to 3/4 miles away
The other places that are a bit farther down the list...
http://www.johnlscott.com/propertydetail.aspx?GroupID=200546232&ListingID=300120545&Sort=0
http://www.johnlscott.com/propertydetail.aspx?GroupID=200546319&ListingID=300122610&Sort=0
These 2 places...well...the first one is kinda cool because I can put "Mukilteo" on my return address (it sounds cool)...its a few blocks away from Boeing...less than a 5 minute walk from the beach and the ferry...and...if Paine field gets the commercial flight thing...the area would be worth a mint (or end up like Sea-Tac...haha). My real estate agent said it had a "good" area code...whatever that means...the price is pretty good...but did not really do anything for me...and being on the second floor with my work schedule...might piss off neighbors (or my hot sweaty headboard bumping sessions...hahahahaha...too bad I am alone when that happens most of the time). the price is pretty good also
the second one...price is good...location is pretty easy (next to the albertsons on 112th by I-5)...but really did not do a thing for me.
After going through them again...i think its between the garage one and the granite one...(you should see me right now...I have about 20 pages of real estate printouts laying around me...copying down the listing numbers)
So I guess my big question is...a garage...or some sweet granite and hardwood floors?? LOL
Me having beers to help me decide

2:38 am - grrr...can't sleep...and have to leave for work in 3 1/2 hours
|
So I am just goofing off on myspace and channel surfing...and looking at condos...
I found a few that I like...and in the price range I want.
A house is out of the question...because I cannot find a VA approved one for under 200k in this area...and I thought about something else...I want to live on the cheap :)
I am going to look at a few more on friday...and have a few choices that I am interested in right now...
Choice 1 is a 950 sq. ft. 2 bedroom for 115k...great shape...but...real estate agent is trying to figure out why it is FHA approved..but not VA (not supposed to be like that)
Choice 2 is a 1 bedroom townhouse on the south-east side (by the albertsons next to I-5 for those that know the neighborhood) for 105k...looks nice in the pics...going to see it on friday.
Choice 3 is a tough one...550sq ft 1 bedroom that is a total shit box...but, I could get it for about 70k. Which means a sub 400 a month mortgage payment with 150 housing dues...means lots of money saved...and I think it would be REALLY fucking cool to turn the place on the inside into a complete dream condo...stainless steel...granite...top of the line everything inside. I have had ideas popping in my head for a few days on this one (saw it last friday...smells like old people and cat pee)...but all the basics are there right now...washer/dryer...big water heater...fireplace...and...it has the coolest view of the small lake off of 75th (beverly lake I think)
I am actually leaning toward the shit box because of the cost...and it would be kind of fun to make it look like a million bucks on the inside while the outside is still pretty plain.
the other reason...is because (as with anything I buy this year)...I get 8000 back next year from that 1st time home buyers rebate thing...so that would pay off my "big" bills...and all that extra money left at the end of the month would really be good because I want to travel some more :)
the other reason...I could probably double my money in a few years when I sell it (I am going to grill the real estate dude on that one)...which would give me the $$ (and then some) to finally move out of town (lately I have been leaning towards Las Vegas). It really is small (smaller than my apartment)...but the possibilities are endless (did I mention the amazing view? hehe)
there were a few others that I liked...but they were all "short sales" and my real estate guy said its a pretty bad idea because banks will screw me on that one.
Well...I am still wide awake...and have 12 hours of work tomorrow...thank god I have a buttload of energy drinks to bring with me and a few 5 hour energy shots)

11:44 pm - Its kind of strange...
|
A few years ago, I had a guy on my crew that I trained to work the roll mill...20 year old kid from Bosnia.
He only stayed on my crew for a few weeks before they moved him (as per usual with the company)
Nice enough guy...worked hard...showed up on time...until he turned 21.
He went out...got his own apartment...but with the freedom from moving away from his parents...he started fucking up.
got fired soon after for attendance.
Well...cut to now...the other morning (memorial day) when I got off work, I saw him walking down the road (Casino Rd when I got off work in the morning)
Last night, I found out that he got out of jail that morning for beating the crap out of someone that lived in his apartment complex.
he got out of jail after 2 weeks and decided it would be a good idea to see the guy.
twenty something stab wounds later, the guy died...and now the bosnian kid is in jail...and soon to be in prison...or...since it will probably be capital murder...I am sure you can figure out the rest.
I barely knew the guy...so I don't know how his head works...but damn...how can someone be that pissed off?
As many of you know, I am usually pissed off at the world...but to resort to something like that? I can't even comprehend.
I have been trying to find the newspaper article on it...but no luck yet.
gotta love everett...LOL

9:20 am - I HATE THE DENTIST!!!
|
Had a toothache...so I finally scheduled an appointment to get a broken filling fixed after the 5th toothache in 3 months...
found out I need a ROOT CANAL!!!
My medical insurance totally rocks...but my dental...not so much.
the root canal is going to cost about 300...and the crown I need about 600!
they did all the grinding in the middle of the root and put a temporary filling in it for now...and gave me a buttload of vicodin...so yes...more of my fucked up dreams for a few days *shit*
I really can't stand going to the dentist...I have had broken numerous bones...knee surgery...sliced off fingertips...concussions...stabbed...broken noses (I even straightened my own nose on break number 10 or 11)
but when I have a toothache? I am like a 10 year old girl with a skinned knee...I am in pain...tears...complaining...the whole works
I hate the dentist so bad that a loooong time ago a toothache turned into an ear ache...that turned into arm pain...
found out it was so infected that they could not pull it because of the "poison" in an infected tooth...so I lived on hardcore antibiotics and vicodin for 7 days before the extraction could take place.
I was going to pull it myself (yes...it WAS that bad)...the tooth was "poisoned"...and if 1 drop of that was in my blood stream (close to the brain)...well...I don't have to explain further. One or two of you might remember when I had that issue...I could not more my right arm hardly...and I happened to wreck that old honda scooter at the same time (my old townhouse by scrappers...damn that was way back when)
Me thinks I will visit the dentist more often now...then I won't need more root canals...LOL
I brush my teeth twice a day...don't floss much...but...I like my sody pop which is like battery acid on tooth enamel...
well...need to get to sleep...long night at work...
oh yea...I am nekkid right now if anyone cares...hehehehe

12:35 pm - when it rains it pours...LOL
|
Well...earlier this week...me thinks my laptop 'sploded...so that means I was computerless.
I tried my restore discs...but they were corrupted...so that was a total fail.
I have a guy at work who is going to let me borrow a copy of XP to see if its just a software error...hard drive...or I smoked the motherboard.
Anyway...since I do all my bill paying and such on the computer. I HAD to get another one (mhy laptop was kind of outdated anyway)
Well...I remember best buy has some kind of no interest special...so I whipped down there to see if I would qualify...
I DID!!!!!
I guess my credit is better than I thought...18 months interest free and a 3300 dollar in store credit limit!!!!!
I did not go apeshit on a new laptop...but I did get a pretty nice one.
I got an HP Pavilion dv4 limited series (it has a midnight blue top with some freaky design on it...2.1 AMD turion X2 Ultra 64 bit processor...4 gigs RAM...400 gig hard drive...ATI video card (can play games)...lightscribe dvd burner...and 64 bit windows vista...for 700 bucks!
this works out pretty good with best buy...if I can buy a condo...I have enough of store credit to buy a fridge, washer/dryer if needed...or a big ass tv for a living room...hehe
speaking of that...I need to run because I am going to a real estate agent this afternoon.

2:50 pm - I was right...
|
and it only took them 3 hours to change my schedule...haha
I am off today and tomorrow...and Saturday and Sunday night...I work 7 to 7 in the morning...and monday's and tuesdays 7 to 5 a.m.
I knew I would get screwed...and I did...no weekends off for me for a while...
But...I do get time and a half plus 8 hours for the work on monday...which comes to about a 700 dollar day...so I will not complain too much (god knows I need the money...still haven't seen a dime of the temporary disability)
There are other things also why I need time off during the week...but I am still a little pissed it messes with my weekends.

9:41 pm - Back to work on monday *sigh*
|
Well...actually, I am glad to go back to work...I am going nuts doing nothing.
I guess I will be on a normal 8 to 4:30 shift for a while...or until they change it up as usual (they just love screwing with my work schedule)
I talked to the mortgage guy today...and with the VA loan, I can't consolidate my credit card and loan debt into my mortgage...so the most I can afford is something around what I pay in rent right now (800 at the most)...which pretty much limits me to a condo...which I don't want to do...I want a garage and such...LOL
I am qualified for enough to buy a few of the houses I looked at online...could go even more if needed...but I really don't want to strain myself.
One thing about the condo's...I found a few online where my payment would be next to nothing...which does appeal to me...especially if I knock my credit cards out...hmmm...something to think about.
It will take me a while to get my bills knocked down...or if the money fairy comes and drops about 15k into my lap...LOL...but I am not holding my breath.
I guess I will just get the camaro finished and start looking into an apartment (found a few with only a 6 month lease)...
or...break down and get my resume out there again and find something and somewhere different.

8:16 pm - Whoops...
|
Well...my blue scooter has been sitting for nearly 3 years...never bothered to start it...ride it...or pretty much do anything with it. I thought it was just kind of hopeless and really really needed a garage to work on it so I could keep track of the parts and such...
Well...it was on craigslist for about a week...and a guy came by this afternoon to look at it after a bazillion e-mails from other people bitching about how I wanted too much (which I diddn't)...
Anyway...we were tinkering with it and he asked "will it start?" I said "I don't know, its been a long time since I tried"
THE STUPID THINK STARTED UP IN ABOUT 5 KICKS!!!
I could not believe it...LOL...I nearly decided not to sell it.
I took it for a spin myself (not fun with the leg brace on)...and while it does need some minor adjustments to the clutch and shifter...it ran like a champ. (front brakes felt a little odd...but thats probably just a bit of rust on the inside of the drum)
I should have asked for more money...LOL...the guy jumped on and drove it home...hahaha
Oh well...I am looking for a vintage anyway.

11:07 pm - I am going nuts!!!
|
I wanted to go out soooo much tonight...but with the crutches and everything...I would just be in the way...
The weather is beautiful...and I want to ride my bike...but that is impossible for at least 2 more months (hopefully less)...
I am losing weight...muscle tone...my left leg is looking kinda wrinkly...instead of the monster quads that I had before...I have bruises on the top of my ribs and the inside of my arms from the crutches...I have a nasty looking rash on my leg...well...its also on my arm and chest...so that might be something different...
I am not eating as much...since I have been so lazy, I have not been hungry. Food with me is strange...I never rely on "breakfast, lunch, dinner"...if I am hungry, I eat, if not...I don't. Some days I will eat 5 full meals a day...some days, I have to force myself to make a sandwich...if I even eat at all. I know its not the healthiest thing...but so far it works for me.
I stopped taking the vitamins I take...they are made for extreme amounts of exercise and was told that if i took them while laying in bed...they could fuck things up for me...shoving massive amounts of amino acids and the other stuff into a lazy fuck makes it worse than better...
It is so hard for me...I am used to being on my feet busting my balls for 12 hours a day...riding my bike to and from work...
and now...i think its a fucking accomplishment that I went to the movies yesterday or went out and paid a few bills on thursday...that is just pathetic! (BTW...Star Trek was awsome)
I have to get my shit together and make this surgery a minor inconvenience like I thought it would be...remember...I am RYAN THE MOTHERFUCKING RHINO!!!!
but at the same time...I have to remember that there are 2 tiny screws holding all of my shit toghether inside of my leg...and 1 wrong turn or bend...and I ruined 15k+ worth of surgery (that is from what I read...I have not seen the bill yet *gulp*)
That is another thing that has my balls in a bunch right now...a standard ACL replacement surgery is "approx. 15,000"...but...I also ripped my miniscus to shit because I walked on my bad knee for nearly 4 years...so no telling what the final outcome is. I really really REALLY hope that my medical insurance is as good as it seems so far (they paid 100% of the MRI's and such)
I am also kind of nervous because I don't know how the "temporary disability" with my insurance works...I used a weeks worth of vacation time to cover 1 week...but I have 2 weeks that I have to cover also.
Apparently I will get paid...but how much?? I was told 75% of my salary...but do I get taxed?...If I do...I am royaly fucked...I pay damn near 30% as it is...I have no idea on how it works, because I have not taken more than a few hours off because of an injury...in over 20 years of working. Shit...when I fucked my knee up in the first place, I showed up on my crutches (but they sent me home for a few days...thank god for the holiday)...I pushed through and did not do 1 minute of light duty.
I should not really bitch about money...some how...I always seem to bounce back when my finances get fucked up...I don't know how...but I always manage to survive...now matter how bad I screwed it up...LOL
Well...its a Saturday night/Sunday morning...I should get back to drinking myself stupid and feeling sorry for myself for staying in yet again...even though my upper body says "lets raise some hell" and my lower body says "are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!"
jeez...just looking at my left leg makes me sick to my stomach

9:41 pm - bored out of my skull!!
|
Comcast cable went full digital earlier this week...and since I don't have a cable box in my bedroom, I went from 70 channels to about 20!!
That lasted 3 days until I had enough...LOL...I went out and bought a Vizio 22" LCD 1080p screen...wayyyy niiice but the channels are confusing...there are 3 channel 5's...9 channel 34's (listed as 5, 5-1, 5-2)...so I am going through making a list of all the channels so I can remember where my favorite channels are (history, travel, spike)...and a few of the channels repeat themselves...
I will get it figured out...the screen is amazing...sounds great...and it was only 300 bucks
I thought I would clear something up...I made jokes about the Percoset...but in reality...I really don't like them much.
The good things...they REALLY do help with the pain...which is what I really needed because it hurt so much...and the tingly feeling in my nether reigons was pretty cool...hehe
but...the itching...nausea...fucked up dreams...I can do without all of that...LOL
I really cant understand why people are robbing drug stores just for these stupid pills...I don't see what the big deal is...if they want to rob the stores...go for something good at least...LOL
So...I stopped taking them...I have 4 left in case I do something stupid and make it hurt again...should have taken a couple today...had to go out and pay bills...and walking about a mile on crutches was not very much fun...I got home and pretty much collapsed
well...back to my channel list (im at 35-10 which is VH1)

5:42 pm - Finally went grocery shopping...
|
Well...enough food that can fit into my backpack...its not that I was totally out...but I am getting really tired of the ham I have in my freezer (i bought about 20 pounds a while back...down to 11 pounds I think). Red Baron french bread pizzas were on sale for 2 bucks a box...so I bought a few of those and a few tv dinners and bagels with cream cheese...
not the healthiest things...but I need easy food at least for a few more days.
I loaded up on advil, aspirin, and pain pills before my shower to make sure it all kicked in by the time I went to the store...and its kind of funny...it only seems to hurt when I am laying around in bed doing nothing...granted...its not the best feeling walking aorund, but its not as bad as it was a few days ago. I still have to make a trip to the drug store for some cold frosty cerveza for later...and ummm..Drano.
As some of you know (which I just found out), Percoset constipates you...I did not think anything about it for the first few days, but after a week of not...ummm...and no stomach pains...I started to get concerned...I looked up the pills online...saw what it said about that...and stopped taking them all day yesterday.
well...FINALLY went this afternoon...and well...now need some Drano...LOL
I am actually quite proud of it...but at the same time...kinda pissed because I have to see if the drano will help loosen it up so to speak.
ok..too much information.
Well...I need to get my leg brace and shoes back on and run to Rite-Aid now...

I am getting fed up with the pills...but when I cut myself off...I realize how much pain I am in...all of this shit really really hurts!
I did it a few days ago...I just stopped taking the pills...and my leg was in soooooo much pain!
I know I am pretty weak in my leg right now....but I thought just weak...not a pain that seems to be in the middle of my calf to midway up my thigh...so yes...I jumped back on the percoset wagon...LOL
The percoset does not seem to be the best thing for me...it helps the pain...but when I sleep/pass out/nod off...the dreams I have are super-realistic..and super violent.
As in I have to blink a few times when I wake up to make sure the dream was not real...even though it usually involves an insane amount of gun play and/or bats with nails in them.
One seemed to last so long...it had a plot that would impress/disgust Quentin Tarantino...kinda scary...and I was only asleep for about 2 hours.
I was actually able to go out today and run a few errands in a few blocks from me...took pics of the car, scooter, me, and actually dragged my bike outside to wash it (kinda) and take pics to put on craigslist (just the road bike...not the mountain bike).
I got home...and it felt like someone hit me in the back of the leg with a bat!!
I am hating this!! I know I have to take another 2 weeks off work..but I hate being this helpless.
I try to rely on not a single person...but if I knew one person that would help me with basic things like grocery shopping...I would totally admit that I need help.
It really does suck not having friends...but at the same time...I would never ask for help.
got into a conversation about that earlier with someone...will make a friends only post about that.
taking too many stuffs right now...the percoset for the pain...400mg of advil every 8 hours for the swelling and fever in my leg...and 2 plain aspirin a day so I don't get blood clots that form...and the hydroxyzine to help with the itching from the percoset (which does not help much I think).
I have a rash also on my leg...but I think that is from the leg brace...it seems to go away if I don't wear it for a few hours.
the doc or the nurse was not too concerned about that...so I am not hasseled either.
looks like its going to be a small/invisible scar...due to some new stitches or something...its stitched from the inside...and it just dissolves under the skin i guess...still have tape on it so I have not been able to look too close.
well...back to channel surfing and playing around on here...see if I get loaded enough for the friends only post...LOL

5:32 pm - back from the doctors...
|
And it looks like 2 more weeks out of work...I hope the insurance stuff they faxed to work will cover my pay...if not...i am royally fucked...(well...maybe...I can take an emergency loan on my 401k)
I am going to go through the house and craigs list the stuff I don't really need that might be worth a few bucks...and going to look into a house starting next week...which would let me pay off all my credit cards...and probably save me a few bucks a month on rent.
well...have to run back to rite aid for my perscription...they gave me even more percosets...haha
the main reason the doc kept me out of work because I told him I had a few blocks to walk after I got off the bus...so he filled out the other paperwork instead because he is not comfortable letting me walk that far (thank god i did not tell him how far I REALLY have to walk...LOL).
I can't believe how weak my leg actually is right now...its less strong now than it was when I had the accident...even though I am taking the pain meds...I know it would have to kill me because I start sweating right away...the kind of cold sweat you get when you are really hurting...LOL
well...time to run back to the store and get my druuuuuugs...hehehe
current mood: bored
current music: nothing...just hobbled in the door

3:43 am - all done...
|
I guess it went well...and only took about 3 hours.
The pain is not that bad...but the nerve block on my leg is still going on (it feels like novacaine from the dentist)
When I got home though...I felt like I had a cross between the flu and a hangover...not too much fun...but a couple of percosets and a nap helped that.
the one thing though...I have a brace on from my giggleberries to my ankle...and bent at a 5 degree angle...really irritating...and kind of tight too...
I think that is what the percoset is for...because its bugging the shit out of me...but if im a bit loaded...I don't care much...haha
oh yea...and it itches really bad right behind my knee...but I am not supposed to take it off until I see the doctor on wed.
I can see why they want someone to stay with you for 24 hours...not because you can die or anything like that (if that is the case...im in deep shit...LOL)...but...even though I hate to admit it...I am having a helluva time trying to get around. I cooked a couple of hot dogs...which involved falling down trying to get to the kitchen...and 2 very balanced trips back to my bedroom for my hot dogs and cokes. And, if I have to pee...i better get there on the first thought...if I hesitate...well...I diddn't piss my pants...but it was really really close..LOL
In truth though, I am not wearing any pants...hehe...too much of a hassle to put them back on...so I am just wearing my stretchy boxer briefs (im looking sexy as hell..haha)
I could have gotten more pills...they gave me the perscription AGAIN, but I turned it down because I already have them (wish I wasn't so groggy when I finished...it would be good to have some extras in the house...hehe)
something about the pills...I don't know how it works for women...but for a guy...its a bit tingly down there...half a chubby and I really want to rub one out...but with the thing on my leg...it makes it uncomfortable...LOL (another reason I wish I had someone staying with me...hehe)
I got a suprising gift when I got home...work sent me a gift basket with flowers and plants...its really nice...I will take a pic when I can actually make it to the living room without busting my ass.
I hate to say it...because I always say I don't need help with anything...but at this moment...it would be kind of nice to have a friend/girlfriend who could help me out with this kind of thing...im kind of frustrated because i am having such a hard time doing things.
well...back to channel surfing...nothing on TV right now and I am wide awake
current mood: bored
current music: nothing yet
