Surgery, it's more unpleasant than I thought.

5:15 AM: Alarm Clock Rings.
5:20 - 5:35 AM: Shower/Dressed.
5:45 AM: Driving to South Nassau Hospital in Oceanside.
6:15 AM: Clothed in nightgown.

6:30 AM: I meet my snobby nurse and she runs through what she will generally be doing before my procedure. Not so fond of her at first, she is way too pushy. I am petrified of needles as it is and now I had to have one inserted into my hand/wrist. Ok, well I sucked that up, squeezed the handrail of my chair as tight as I could as she puts it in, fantastic. My doctor/surgeon hits traffic so I anxiously wait for him to arrive tardy to the hospital.
7:00 AM: I meet my anesthesiologist, he talks about the light general anesthesia that I'm getting in order to do the surgery.
8:00 AM: My doctor finally arrives, he comes over and explains the procedure and marks and initials my right knee with his marker. Since I can't wear my contacts or glasses I give them to my mom and hop into my wheelchair.
8:15 AM: My nurse wheels me over to the operating room, I have no idea where I'm going since I have no vision. I get wheeled into the room, I meet three other nurses and my anesthesiologist. I hop up onto the operating table and he hooks me up then asks me what college I go to and what my major is. I wake up in the recovery room.

Holy crap was I confused. I wake up with an oxygen mask on and I'm in this big room with a whole bunch of other tables around me and a baby crying. Another nurse walks over to me and asks me if I'm in pain - yes I am. I ask her what time it was and she says 9:30. She walks away and come backs with 2 syringes. Morphine is now going through my I.V and I pass out again. I have a long realistic dream that I'm actually up and active, I get wheeled out of the recovery room and wheeled into another room where I wait for my mom.

I have never felt that hungover in my life. The nausea and the headache took over. My mom and grandmother enter surprisingly with my brother, sister and best friend behind. I am not hungover I realized, I was still "drunk"/"high". Horrible feeling, I was slurring my words and falling asleep mid-sentence. I realize now its 11:00. I'm in this state eating ice, drinking tea and sleeping occasionally until 1:00pm. I never felt more of a confusion before, I had no control over the feeling sadly.

I didn't leave until 2:30 or so and I finally get home to find no power. They were working on the power lines at the end of my block Nothing to entertain me until 5:00. Pain and rest is all I have to look forward to. Until now, where I can share my day with everyone.

TWITTER

Eh it's ok. I don't often use it but i try to. I only "TWEET" when I remember to or if I get reminded to. It's more of a place for me to B!+©H than anything else. I don't follow anyone, I don't really want to. It may sound rude, but I don't care what the rest of the world is up to. Wow that really is rude. I don't mean to be but I have too much going on with myself that I really don't have time to wonder what Justin Beiber or Kim Kardashian (sp?) is doing. I'll keep it going though, i'm hoping I get more into it for the sake of this class lol. I think i'm just more of an occasional facebooker than anything else though. Anyway, i'll be late to class if I don't get going. I'll post more soon.

NO MUSIC!!!

Ok so music is a HUGE part of my every day routine. I listen to the radio in the shower, my computer as i'm getting dressed and the radio to and from school, work and out. So this past weekend (March 4th to March 7th) I did not listen to anything! I only made exceptions to music in movies and TV but I did not physically put any on to listen to. WOW did that suck. I felt alone?! No iPod at the gym was even weirder. The music at the gym wasn't "motivational" to keep me going at all. Going back to it starting on Monday was such a relief. I didn't feel "alone". I was so bored without it. I guess when i say i'm not really addicted to media, i lie. I kind of need the music to get that "security". Right now as I'm writing this blog I have Jay Sean on haha. It's weird, I guess it keeps me occupied and makes everything from being so bland.

...I'm really tired of limping

Ok, work wasn't too much fun tonight. Limping around like a weirdo is starting to get to me. It's painful and annoying. I decided to be nice today and help out in the other departments (i work in cameras). I decided to help out computers. I was laser lining an isle and I notice there is an entire 12-16 feet dedicated to online gamers. There were different mice, keyboards, joy sticks, graphic cards and cooling systems to prevent overheating. It reminded me of that article/video about the children of Japan who are too addicted to video games and needed a rehab center. I personally am not a gamer and have no interest in them. I own an XBOX 360 and haven't played a game in year(s). I feel that I'm too preoccupied with school and work and trying to maintain somewhat of a(n) (offline) social life. Everyone I work with rants about the newest game that's coming out and I just smile and nod... smile and nod. Maybe the week and half I'll be out because of my knee I'll pick up a controller, probably not though.

Oh and I'll start blogging about the stuff I have to soon... when I figure out what they are.

My First Blog

So this is my first blog. Like I've mentioned on Moodle, i'm not into this but i'll definitely give it a try. I always thought that blogs were all online diaries but I guess it's a good way to express yourself and compare your thoughts to others? IDK i'll update dailyy.
