Two surgical procedures within weeks of one another? Ooo wee! First was getting my wisdom teeth cut out the first week of December and I have to say that was an insufferable hell to live in. Just when things had started to get better, last weekend I began to get intense stomach pains which I thought was from dehydration. Now because it’s been irritating to me that people constantly ask “Do you have to take a shit?” every time I say my stomach hurts I will explain that it wasn’t pains in the sense of: “OMG! I ate something bad diarrhea’s a’comin”, but more like “OMG I DON’T CARE IF GOING TO THE HOSPITAL UNINSURED IS GOING TO COST ME A MILLION DOLLARS I THINK I’M GOING TO DIE OF THIS PAIN! PLEASE HELP ME SWEET BABY JESUS ASLEEP ON THE HAY!” pain. And uncontrollable vomiting of any and everything that hit the stomach for more than 20 seconds.

By Sunday night I was hospitalized and it turned out I my appendix was about to explode, plus I had an ovarian cyst so I had to get those bad boys removed. All my life I dreaded surgery but I guess with modern technology it’s not that bad. I have two unnoticeable stomach incisions and one c-section incision. I’ve been healing without pain meds. I was released Christmas Eve and spent time over my moms with my son. Christmas was just us 3 being snowed in her cozy apartment. I have to say that she drove me absolutely batshit insane after living with her a month and my son was picking up too many bad habits such staying up until midnight, wanting to be held at all times, throwing a fit when he doesn’t get his way .. all of which my mom catered to. No ma’am Miss Pam! so I pleaded to come home and here we are.

It’s so nice be home again, just the two of us. It’s still a little difficult to take care of him and he’s such a big crier and whiner now, but hopefully we can both be back to normal within a week or so.
