One More Day

Owwww my staples hurt like hell today. They aren't infected but they're irritated. They're red and... I'm not going to go into graphic detail but believe me it's gross. But anyway the drugs haven't seemed to work well today.

I can't TELL you how much I'm looking forward to having the staples out tomorrow afternoon. Because of the "issues" I called to push my appointment up but I only got one day sooner. I should hear back on pathology too. I'm ready for the response-- I think.

Well, I just ate a cookie. Idiot. It seemed like a good idea. It wasn't. :( I'm amazed at how my eating has changed. A bowl of rice krispees was "too much food" today. I had 2 pieces of cheese for breakfast and a shot-size bowl of jello, but somehow the rice krispees 4 hours later put me over the edge. My pre-lunch has been so evil lately it has ended up BEING my lunch.

Speaking of evil that commerical for "Exorcism of Emily Rose" scares the crap out of me, can someone please petition for it to go away?

Food has begun to betray me. Like a little bowl of fried rice. How bad can that be? As I learned yesterday, very bad actually. And I'd rather just not eat anymore. I'm a big fan of gatorade now, which I wasn't before. Maybe the blood donor was a gatorade fan! I think I saw that on TV; where you take on characteristics of people who donated organs to you. It probably doesn't work with blood, though, right? CREEPY!! :)

But it's been only two weeks since surgery. I'm pushing myself awfully hard to be "normal" again. Some things work... some things don't. And maybe once these f%*&ing staples come out I can get a good night's sleep!!!
