Well, it has been a while since I posted last.
I am currently posting from Cincinnati.
On Nov. 4 I had my tonsils taken out here and have been staying with mom and dad during my recovery. Since I dont have a job yet I am still using their insurance, so it was much easier insurance wise to get it done in cinci. Plus I had already consulted with a doctor so all I had to do was schedule the surgery. Anyways, the surgery was kind of a last minute thing. I had met with the doctor a few months back and he recommended I get them out but it wasnt urgent. I was too anxious to move to Charlotte to do it then, so I just put it off, figuring I would do it in Charlotte at some point. Well, it then ended up that I had to come to Cinci on Nov 11th anyways for a depostion for the law suits with my accident (yes, the one 2 1/2 years ago. yes, its still going on). Since I dont have a job and therefore really have no commitments, I decided to come home a week early and have the tonsils cut out.
I am no stranger to surgery. I have had my fair share and then some. However, I very much underestimated the recovery from this thing. I was thinking a few days of real pain then you turn the corner and its heals quickly. WRONG. I was on pain killer for a whole week until I finally forced myself off of it. Then it was advil or tylenol every few hours and still alot of pain. I couldnt really eat anything and drinking was painful too. I am still having some pain on day 12. Eating normal foods is difficult but doable in small amounts as long as its not super hard or crunchy.
My underestimation has also caused me to be in Cincinnati muchh longer than expected. Orginally i was planning on staying only a week and going home the day after my deposition. That plan went out the window and departure was moved to Friday in order to get back in time to go down to Clemson for the weekend. Thursday night I got 2 1/2 hours of sleep and woke up the next morning feeling exhausted, woozy, and kind of sickly. I tearfully called my boyfriend who i miss soo soo much and told him I wasnt going to be able to make the drive. The goal then became Sunday, tomorrow. Seemed like a good plan until I came down with a stomach bug today and am sitting here with a fever, sore neck, and very upset stomach. Guess Monday is the new objective. The whole thing has been very frustrating and I am sick of feeling bad.
Other than my medical news, things have been going okay. I have had a few job interviews but nothing has come from them I have another next week and hopefully will get a second one set up soon. I am trying to stay positive, trusting in my Heavenly Father that he has something picked out for me. Sometimes his timing can be hard to understand and really test the patience.
I should go to bed so this update will have to end here.
