After two weeks or so of being away, I'm back and healthy as a horse! ^^
Well ok I'm still recovering and moving too much hurts the small incision (sp? :s ) on my stomach...that's nothing compared to the hospital, though XD
I have a new shunt in. The hospital visit was, naturally, a bitch. Lemme tell you, it's NO FUN having your head attached to an external drain (nearly said it's no fun being tied...then went back and changed the wording :lol ). Nurses had to come and re-arrange it EVERY TIME I wanted to bloody MOVE AN INCH -_- And some of them were really, reaaallly slow, so I had to wait five-fifteen minutes between the time I felt I had to pee and the time I peed. Which I don't always have >_<
And the fecking doctor wanted to widen my ventricals (sp? :s ) so he ramped the pressure up every few days. What that means is it took more CSF building up for ANYthing to drain out of my head--which meant headaches. Ten days of THAT and I was 'bout ready to say 'screw the surgery altogether and take me home' @.@ He did it for a good reason--bigger ventricals meant easier surgery--but it was NO FUN! *pouts*
Hospital food isn't as bad as it's cracked up to be, just as an aside. The salisbury steak was NOM XD
I missed my home, my pet turtle, my BED, my PRIVACY (my mom came up as well for a few days, meaning I had NO time to myself....though she still drank IN the hospital at night -_- Lucky damn thing she didn't get caught!!!), my SENSHI holy crap....tonight's our first "date" night since we got back day before yesterday.
Yeah, sorry it's taken me so long to reply, recovery's a bitch ><
Oh btw, I'm bald as a baby's ass XD I had a choice of letting them take HALF my hair or all of it, and I'd rather just start from scratch. All bald jokes are not only allowed but welcome x_x I'm SO HAPPY TO BE BACK!
*hugs everybody*
I wanna thank you guys again for being so supportive. I love you guys! Your prayers/thoughts obviously worked, thank you SO much. Every time I didn't wanna move or wanted to take the easy way out and just not get up and just pee myself (Hey, even I have my moments >.>) I just thought about you guys, how you believed in me, and I got the hell up! ^____^ Thank you SO much!
I'm gonna go, Senshi'll be home soon! 😉
Luv,
