Happy Birthday to me

Well this week, I had sinus surgery and to be honest I am still recovering. My nose still hurts and I guess there is no relief right now until it has completely healed. So for my birthday I ordered a cake (Black Forest) last week for this weekend so that I would have it here for tomorrow.Since my dear hubby has to work and of course my brother is working as well. Ok, so maybe because I am going to be at home (ALONE) for my birthday, I should be relaxing in the blissful peace and quiet (and sleeping as late as I want) but gee, I wanted to have a little more fun than being by myself. Luckily my brother came up during the Alabama/Auburn Game tonight (I already had a hunch Auburn was going to win so I still won) so I was able to spend the time with him and my husband. Ok, I am off to bed. Got to get my feet warm and toasty....Nite all!!!!!!!!!!
The sinus (Septoplasty)surgery is set for Monday. I am ok, just been wondering why this has to happen. I mean sure my dad underwent the sinus surgery 11 years ago, and I remember how he looked, and all the horror stories I have heard have not made this any easier to deal with. Ok so maybe the paranoia has hit me. Who knows. I won't go back to work (I am taking the 11th - 24th off) until the day before my birthday, and I want to feel so much better than I do at the moment. so any unpleasant feelings I have are being put in the back of my mind because I am going to be better by my birthday.
I am going to just blog this since I figure this is the easiest way to explain more things.. I ended up going to the E.R. on Monday for nausea and headaches. Well, let's see, I had a CT scan done to rule out my hydrocephalus (Water on the brain is the term) and to make sure that my shunt was functioning properly (nurse said ventricles were constricted so the Neurosurgeon I had was called) and he did a shunt tap to confirm that the shunt was working. Good news is that I still have my shunt and won't need brain surgery again anytime soon, bad news is that I still have to deal with nausea and headaches for a while longer...
Ok, I am all for this to make sense, but I am sick of being treated like I have no mind...Thanks to my "brother" Bill, I have made a decision about several things that I feel I have to do, if not to save whatever is left of my sanity.. I have a friend who is completely jealous of my friendship with Bill (all because he is not into her) and because he calls me and does come out to the house to see me and she can't stand that.. I just feel like there is no way around that anymore. Time to cut the apron strings. I think it's funny right now, tbat she is acting like a child and doesn't see that she is destroying a friendship over a guy. Well, in any case, I am not playing the game. If I have to choose, it's going to be a 20 year friendship over a five year...
Ok, I know, I have been neglecting my friends on here butthis has been about the best reason, and the weirdest thing to have to deal with for once... Now, most of my friends on here know that when I get sick, its normally a touch and go sort of thing. Well, I am saying that my sinuses are going to be on strike, and don't want to come back. I have been in so much pain from the pressure and drainage of my sinuses, that I finally convinced my family doctor on Monday SOMETHING'S WRONG....he saw that from the x-rays he did, and so needless to say I am now on round 2 of antibiotics and not one but two nasal sprays. I almost had to argue about the fact I was NOT taking flonase again, until he agreed wtih me. So now I am still on two nasal sprays and antibiotics (for 21 days on antibiotics) to see if we can get the pressure/pain to stop. If not, then we are looking at having the sinuses cat scanned then not sure what to think next. SO, I am not ignoring my friends on here, I have just literally been in a lot of pain lately to even really have time to do much of anything. We know I am sick if I can not even help my 17 year old niece work on her family history project that I have most information on....Update more on Monday night.

Family

Now, I am all for family get-togethers, and all but I have to admit that even I KNOW this was as far-fetched as they come. Sunday is when we had to do the barbecue for my sister's homecoming which means we had to rush to do what we wanted all because my sister had a hair appointment on Saturday (She was done and home by 3) which I admit we still could have done the cookout on Saturday but let's not incovience my sister. So, let's just say that was part of the issue. I had to find ways to amuse myself (lord knows I could have been in Tunnel Hill Georgia this past weekend with the re-enactors that were up there including my favorite colonel, Bill.) But I showed Bill (who graduated with my sister) a new picture of her, and OMG, I thought he was going to die. It wasn't a good picture. Believe me. I won't say the whole response to her picture, but at least I know my friend and my husband made me feel skinny....:)

I did something different

Last weekend, over Labor Day weekend, I along with my husband went to a civil re-enactment that my dearest best friend that I have known over 20 years was in, and my dearest best friend (Colonel_Deckard) got my husband out there on the battlefield!! That was a blast! No, I didn't dress up, but there is always next time mind you.. And I won't tell you that I am fully blistered on my arms either. And that was last weekend too! But I will post some pictures of Bill and my husband on here. Not sure what you'll think but just know that I had to have SOME fun...
Well, I am beginning to wonder if I am really wanting to stay on here now or not. First, I have loved this site and the MANY friends I have on here. That is the downside about whether I want to leave or not. I would be afraid that if I left I would lose a lot of my friends on here. Most of you have kept me on my toes, kept me laughing when I needed it, listened to my gripes without a condescending word, and even just listened when I needed to talk. I have been busy with work, and checking out other things online and working on the family tree, but nothing has taken shape on that part lately. Ok, I will keep everyone posted. If you want to know the truth, I am not sure about what I am going to do at this point. Later Gators!
I normally can keep my emotions in check when I need to. But this week, as I have noticed each year at this time, I tend to get VERY emotional over stupid senseless things. This has been no exception. I think Monday was just a day I should have stayed in the bed. Monday was the anniversary of my grandmother's death and that is what I knew. She had been gone for 18 yrs now. I miss her, especially when my life gets complicated and I knew she could be there to give me the greatest advice I could ever have. But then as the day progressed, I had my niece over here, and she gets to me, especially when she starts being nosy. She has been known to snoop in my car (Seen her do it and stopped her) and she was about 12 I think at the time. She learned from her mother. Doesn't surprise me. Anyway, To top that off, after she left I still had company. Glad to know that I had a friend here to keep me and my husband out of each other's hair. lol Tuesday was something that I just couldn't deal with. Here is an explanation, which I have to admit really breaks my heart even as I write this. Child Abuse is something that we shouldn't ignore. I agree. But what gets me, and I am sorry if this offends anyone, is the parents who can beat a child (or kick them) to death. THERE IS NO REASON to beat a child. There are couples who want to have kids in the world that Can't have them for some reason or another then you get those who have kids right and left that beat their kids to death. I think it just broke my heart after viewing the video about the little angel. She didn't deserve to die like that, much less die. She was a beautiful little girl, and my heart goes out to her family and her father who came home from war only to bury his little girl. Sorry, but I had to deal with being emotional after viewing the video and I am still not completely over that yet.
I know that when Bill says something I have to definitely read between the lines. Ok, I take that back. He has been pretty straight and up-front about things and when he and his cousin Kevin (Gotta love boys and their toys I guess) decided to play "guess which guy your talking to on the phone" with me, I was not informed that there was going to be some sort of game out of this. The whole time I am thinking I am talking to my best friend, I was actually talking to his cousin (who I might add I haven't seen in over thirteen years) and yet he and Bill still sounded just the same! Got to definitely get over this one and fast. lol As I went back to work on Monday I knew something was going to be way off. Somehow I just knew it. There are times that I can't explain how I feel about things but then again it's just me. I never can be open about HOW I feel for the fact that it seems like I have to explain it in very little detail so that it can be understood. But that is the one thing about Bill and his cousin. They both have a great sense of humor and that comes in handy when they talk to me I guess. Oh well. We'll see which one makes it out of Six Flags first on Sunday. Wonder if Kevin is going to have to drag Bill out by his toes???
