mom is going in for surgery in a little over an hour and a half. She's probably at the hospital already. I'll be taking care of "security" for the OR, but that's really the only thing I can do from over here besides pray. I can't seem to find out how much time a hysterectomy takes online, but she's basically having half of one because she can't have hormone therapy, but she has a large ovarian cyst on one ovary. I imagine it shouldn't take more than 3 hours though. well, here's hoping..
feeling better for the most part. not sick or dizzy any more. however, I have realized that a) my throat is starting to get a bit tight the past couple of days. I think it's mostly nerves, but I know some of it is thyroid.. probably more than I want to admit. b) I have taken headache medicine EVERY day except last friday since last wednesday. that is January 23rd - February 1st.. 9 days of medicine. some times twice. no wonder I haven't gotten anything done. On top of that, I keep having random aches along bloodlines, which worry me somewhat. I'm glad I found out that the one case of aneurysm in my family bloodline was caused by alcoholism and not genetics, or I'd be freaked out. I mostly just tell it in my brain to blast anything apart if it's a blood clot, and go on.. but I don't like random pains.
so meh. I need to get to a doctor. I don't think that the "I don't have money to" excuse is holding up any longer. I read in my horoscope the other day (yes, I do check it some times out of curiosity) that I was willing to go to extremes to avoid dealing with negative things. which is, sadly, true. and really rather unlike me. I'm just so worried. I think the hospital would help us.. I really just need a swift kick in the pants to go, and (fortunately) nothing extreme enough has happened, but (unfortunately) nobody has really given me the kick. and I feel stupid for needing it. But, I'm not made of Phoenix Downs, so I have to go. It just seems that every time we say we're going to go talk to someone about it, we don't.. and I know that's my fault. *sigh*
I also really need to get more imitrex. I get the feeling this is just another wonderful prolonged migrane. I held on to my last pill until about a month ago (for two years.. not migrane free, but I was holding onto it for a doozy), and now I don't have any and can't afford to get any more. I need to remember to see if it's on walmarts awesome 4$ prescription plan. I have never been a great proponent of Walmart.. they're fairly sloppy with their stores and all, but damn, that is probably the best thing to happen to health care in this country in the history of ever.
and now Gary has sent me http://www.deaconessmc.com/ms_first_care_urgent.html from work, so I'm going to check them out and try to get myself to call them, or if not, have Gary call when he gets home.
*sniff*
wish me luck,,
Hm. Not sure if I've gotten a bug or not at this point. I am Definitely Dizzy, but that could be the lack of food. Tummy is vaguely unhappy with me. Trying to figure out what I can eat that won't provoke said tummy to action. nature valley bars seem to work okay, but I need something with protein. again, not sure why I'm blogging this. I feel silly =P I guess this is a braindump sort of thing anyway, though, so that's what I'm doing. anyway, off to go find food and then fall back in bed again. I feel so terribly unproductive, so my brain will probably guilt me into consciousness soon enough.
I think I may have gotten a bug. >.<
started feeling really sick when Carl was over playing metroid. had to leave and throw up. thought it was just motion sickness, but now I'm feeling icky again now that I've put some tasties in my tummy again. not sure why I'm even blogging this.. but I guess I HAVE done a good job of updating this thing so far, at least. anyway, I'm gonna go play Prince of Qin and try to eat some more without chucking it up. wheee.
