The Aftermath

Isn't that a beautiful bruise? That is my left jawbone. And if it looks like it hurts, you are right.

The oral surgeon told my mom, while I was still under general anethesia, that it was going to be harder for me to recover from this surgery because he was unable to give me the cortisone-steroids in the IV during the surgery, or orally afterwards. I had to go and be allergic to cortisone.

Friday, wasn't too bad which was a good thing because we ran around fixing my registration disaster for my calculus class. Saturday, I slept most of the day and was sorta getting tired of being in the house, a place I had been less than 24 hours.

Yesterday, I started feeling really bad. My mom thought it was because I wasn't eating enough to combat all of the medicine I have been taking. Although, it feels like I've eaten more since Friday than I have eaten in a month.

4 Advil every 6 hours staggered with the hydrocodone crap that I'm supposed to be taking every 6 hours (but it makes me sick to my stomach), plus an Amoxicillin. It basically feels like I should be eating 24-7 in order for the medicines to not make me feel all hot, sweaty and nauseous.

My mom started to leave yesterday and made it about 20 miles before the thunderstorms hit and she decided to turn around and come back. She really doesn't like driving in the rain. I'm glad she came back because I felt HORRIBLE last night. And if she had left last night, I wouldn't have been able to sleep with her "magic pillow."

My mom's "magic pillow" was her baby pillow that a family friend gave to her before she was even born. She sleeps with it every night unless my dad or I are sick. The "magic pillow" seems to make everything feel better.

I called in sick today and had planned on working from home. I got a little bit of work done, but not before the nausea set in. I spent most of the day sleeping or watching TV. Everytime I take another pill I get sick to my stomach, but if I don't take the pill my mouth hurts so bad that it makes me nauseous.

My quick little Waste Of Space Nominations

Barbara Walters. Today on The View she actually asked one of their guests... "What is a Credit Score?" That is just proof that that woman has had way too damn much money at her disposal for way too many years.

One of the questions on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" today was:

"Punch Buggy" is a road trip game where participants watch for which type of vehicle.

A Honda Accord
B Toyota Corolla
C Ford Taurus
D Volkwagon Beetle

This goober... uses a lifeline to get to 50/50 and then uses another one to ask the audience. UM? Yeah.

I guess I am going to try to get my act together and try to go to work in the morning. I have class tomorrow night and I still have to spend my lunch hour to go buy a graphing calculator. I hope I'm up to this.
