The wedding rings were bought today!



Mine has a row of diamonds on it for 1 and 1/6 carats. This means that between my engagement ring and my wedding ring, it's over 2.5 carats.



Can we say bling bling?

They say that ignorance is bliss. And I am here to tell you that yes, it is! If I had had ANY clue, WHATSOEVER, that my surgery would be as utterly painful as it was, I would have been scared shitless going in to it.



Are you saying Duh, Jennifer at this point? Yeah, I know. I should have known better. I should have known something was up when they blew 3 of my veins before they could get the IV in. LOL



I can honestly say that the surgery I went through was one of the most painful experiences of my entire life. And I have had 6 other ones. They gave me morphine, loritab elixure (sp?), toradol...



NOTHING and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING touched the pain. It put me to sleep so I didn't care. But it didn't take the pain away. It was horrible because after awhile, it didn't put me to sleep. Hell, I still hurt.



The Loritab they sent me home with started to make me sick 2 nights ago. Yesterday I was in bed all day being dizzy and nauseous.



I called the hospital and talked to the nurse. Walgreens didn't make the only other thing that I could have gotten prescribed to me. So they told me to start taking liquid Tylenol.



WTF?? Tylenol????



They don't want me taking pills because they could get stuck due to the surgery.



I said fuck that.



I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a couple of weeks ago and my Rheumatologist gave me this great medication called Tramadol. I can take that with 1 tylenol every 6 - 8 hours.



And let me tell you....after years of being in pain...literally.... I finally have a medication that makes me feel good. It feels like a miracle. And it makes my surgery areas feel a little better. (6 incisions around my stomach)



YAY!



You know what's strange though? I hate sweet things now. Cookies, dohnuts, chocolate...you name it. The doctor said it would last 4 - 6 weeks. In a way I think it's cool. Because I can't eat very much at 1 time, I've lost almost 20 lbs in the passed 9 days. I guess stomach surgery does SOMEthing. hehehe



Actually, I haven't had ANY acid reflux, no vomiting, NADA. I do get very full extremely easily. At this point 1 bowl of cereal really fills me up. Weird, huh?



I get to go to the doctor on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it. I'm supposed to be going to Florida next Saturday for Melissa's birthday. I'm praying that I am up to the traveling because as of right now, I'm not. It scares me because I know both kids can not WAIT until I get there. I don't think I can handle disappointing them so much. It would kill me.



So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying that I can go.

And I'm not allowed to fucking smoke!!!!!!!!





*cry*

Well, I'm having my gallbladder removed and my hiatal hernia fixed on Thursday.



Part of me is so excited!!!! The other part of me wonders how much pain I'll be in. LOL I should be in the hospital 1 - 2 nights and I'll be home for 3 weeks.



I went and did my second sleep study with the CPAP machine. That's the thing they strap on your face and force air in your nose.



CAN I TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT SUCKED ASS????





Well it did.





And on top of everything, my Synthroid doesn't work for shit. (Not that I was expecting it to, mind you) And I have yet to hear back from the Endocrinologist that I e-mailed on FRIDAY. Dumb bitch.



I want to go back on the other medication. At least I didn't fly into rages, forget how to write my signature, or get depressed on it. (Among many other things that I will not mention.)



That's it for now.......
