Hank Williams… you’re fucked up on drinks, pills
and a broken heart. You’ll die young and wild,
but influence more people than you could ever
imagine. If it wasn’t for you, rock n roll
would be nothing more than benign and insipid.
Which fucked-up genius composer are you?

Meh nothing much has been going on, I got my stitches out yesterday as I beleive I mentioned, much better now since they aren’t poking through my shirts and getting tugged on. I still can’t eat much, I ate some mushroom soup earlier it was tasty, had some rice not too long ago but that did not work well.
I got Bastok mission 8-1 done yesterday with Ozy and Lestat and some other folks. I watched the movie Hitch last night too, it was ok. Watched Queen of the Damned today, not bad either.
I have drank so much apple/cranberry/whatever juice lately that I am honestly sick of it, can’t stand much more >.< Gah thats pretty much it, just sitting around, not really much to do anyways. I guess I am gonna go to sleep now, really sleepy.
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

Well I’m still around.. somewhat, not really able to get on laptop to chat cause cant really use it with the stomach in repair.
Mary and them were up this weekend so Kim was on my computers so no ffxi or aol or anything fer me. I’ve managed to feel a tad bit better though, I can’t eat though! I am supposed to eat very small bites and portions of meals but if the bites I get arent small enough I guess I have to eat atom sized stuff. So anyway I’ve been on my jello diet but yesterday seems the jello wasn’t being nice to me and I puked it and whatever else was in my stomach up several times. >.<
I layed down and napped.. well slept all day, woke up a few times in the night but that’s just because I rolled onto my stomach and was in more pain ARG!
Apparently while Iwas asleep the LS I was in broke up since the LS owner quit :-\ Not many of us has a home now, Buk and Laurenn both made new lses so gotta find them and then get everyone back togeather.
Haven’t got to talk to Gina yet either which sucks, Just been hard to use my laptop while the visitors were here plus rude of me, mainly I sat around and visited or slept.
Picked up Kingdom Hearts and have been wanting to play it some but just haven’t had a chance, I need to find a semi comfortable chair I can sit in as my computer chairs hurt my back and all ugh ugh
Guess that’s all my complaining for now, I upgraded wordpress to the latest version when I got home from the hospital and all. Hmm thats about it.

Well suprisingly I found out last thursday that the next day (friday the 12th) of august I was to check in at indian path for surgery, this left me little time to get the message out to the few who cared or were curious. Got there layed around fora bit, got taken down, drugged out with Versed (took 2 large needles of it to get me woot like) then they gave me the sodium pentathol since I can’t have diprivan due to my egg allergy arg! So anyway woke up a few hours later with the little pain scale of 10 on my face, I started out getting IV shots of morphene then it later went to IM shots then went to oral pills of hydrocodones
evil hydrocodone. I was stuck with a fricking huge tube ran down my nose into my throat to pump all the nasty stomach secretions out, the tube slid loose a few times and had to be repositioned (which does hurt mind you) then the doctor finally yanked it out few days ago much to my relief! yay. My IVs kept coming out too, my hands arms and wrists are all bruised from all the ivs I had, then the cathether I had wasnt too fun but at least it kept me from having to get up and make an effort to pee, at least for a day or two.
I have uploaded some pictures of the incision and stufff from the surgery HERE, may have somemore depending on how interesting I find them.
Other than that Iam tired and need to lay back down, getting up to get a drink and to type this has worn me out already.

hmmm…
today was uh I would say eventful but the events wern’t all that fun. I woke up around 08:15 and turned off my alarm then went back to sleep
I woke up around 09:05 or so and thought oh shit I missed my appointment with the surgeon so I hopped up and threw on some clothes and looked at the paper for when I was supposed to be there and it said 09:30 which was good, so I drove down the road to the office and checked in got back there and waited (no shirt mind you, one of the few doctors I know who make you have it off before seeing you.
Anyway the surgeon came in and read my chart and talked some, to sum it all up, he doesn’t do the laprascopic procedure only the slice you open kind cause of his old time training which is fine either way, then he basically said I was “fat”, “overweight”, and “obese”… well no shit! I know I’m fat but he made a big issue out of it, do this exercise this way eat that. If I wanted diet counseling I would have went to one, I was here about surgery. Well he goes on to say he doesn’t like to operate on fat people (oh joy) because it involves more work (what are you being paid for?) but there are more risks with heavier people which I know about. blah blah so I have to go and still have that Esophageal motility test done in the morning (07:30) and have them fax the info to him as well as my GI doctor (suprisingly Dr. Sullivan has never pressed on anything about my weight other than complimenting me and telling me I was losing too much sometimes) THEN I have to go back Thursday and if my motility test is ok we get the surgery scheduled. I honestly would get an appointment with a different surgeon and all but I really don’t have that much time to get all this stuff done before tenncare boots me and the transition to Blue Cross Blue Shield TN will take a bit.
So anyway went home steaming and then grabbed my living will/power of attorney and went to the bank to get it notarized, waited in line then got sent to another part of bank, waited then got told the bank doesn’t notarize those documents anymore due to the legal risk and the bank doesn’t want to take that risk associated with it. Tried to contact a few other notaries but they didn’t want to do it cause of the “risk”. Piss on them, I’ll go to city hall and find one or find a lawyer to do it.
Came home, worked on some stuff then took a nap. Got up around 18:00 or so and got on FFXI and watched the Family Guy movie then went and got my mom some grub and such and came home and got on FFXI and helped out a few people. Now I’m talking to Gina and can’t really sleep (or couldn’t get to sleep earlier might be able to soon but seems like a waste to just sleep for so few hours).
Updated the gallery yet again, moved some albums into one album to organize the main listing then added a new pic to My Setup gallery and added some pictures of Chris and Alice to the Friends gallery.
