Never a dull moment..


Well I did survive my surgery this past Weds, although the day was full of drama.


I got up to several inches of snow on the ground and more falling.. It took my Mom almost an hour and a half to get to my apt from her house, which is much longer than usual. Finally we got on the road and had planned an hour to make it to Lebanon.. Even though it is more like 40 mins to get there.


We got 4 miles away from the exit we needed to get off on, and were backed up in stopped traffic. At that point it was 12 minutes before I was scheduled to be at the hospital. So I had to call outpatient surgery and let them know we were stopped in traffic. The Nurse that I talked to told me there had just been a huge accident with two semis and thats why we were stopped.


At that point Mom and I were pretty worried. My Specialist is at the Hospital there untill Noon and then in the office that afternoon. So if I didn't get in that morning I wasn't having the surgery.


We could see an exit sign on the other side of the road, so we called Grams to try and find out what it was and how we could get to Lebanon from there. We ended up driving through the median, which at that point was more like a ravine, it was very deep and larger than normal ones. Thank goodness for 4 wheel drive in the truck!! Thankfully we made it through in the snow and didn't get stopped by a policeman. I was ready to pull the heading to surgery card!!


We did make it to the hospital about 15 mins late. They were able to switch me with an inpatient so I went in at 11.. I had the rudest, stupidist nurses ever. Which for me is saying alot. I usually like my nurses, but the guy was an idiot who just keep blabbering on and not doing pre-op...


As you know I do not do well with needles or blood. I told him that before he put my IV in. Which btw hurt!!! The other nurse insisted he take a vial of blood to see if I was pregnant. (she didn't believe me and I was MAD) so he took about a half gallon of blood and then proceded to hold it right in front of my nose for her to take. She was off in some other world and not paying attention. So the blood is right in front of my face. I go. ooohh.. blooodd.... uuggghh.... And the dimwit is like oh does this bother you? And shakes the vial of blood! At that point I almost passed out. Moving blood bothers me even more. I think if I hadn't been laying down in the bed I would have hit the floor.


Back to the pregnancy test. The female nurse didn't believe me so not only did they draw half a galloon of blood, but after putting my IV in and hooking me up to various machines, they made me go pee in a cup! I had to put my saline bag on top of the towel dispenser, and they gave me a cup that wasn't even a test cup, it was like a cup cup!! Let me just tell you that was difficult!!! And then I come out of the bathroom cup o pee in one hand and saline in the other hand held above my head and there is no one to be found!! I didn't have my glasses on so I was blind as a bat.. Finally I started heading for the direction I thought my room was and finally found the female nurse..


Thankfully the actual surgery part went quite well... I have pictures of my stomach insides before and after that will help show exactly why I was so miserable.. And other than having a horrific headache Weds, I recovered quite well. Slept all day Thursday and took a nap friday and I'm back in town now. Thankfully we have Monday off from work so I'll be easing back into life! :)


Thanks to all who have prayed for me. I am definately ready to feel good again!! I was laying in bed Thursday night and started crying because I realized that for the first time in several months, I was not in any pain at all. I didn't realize how miserable I was untill I got fixed and now I feel so great!!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
