Well I am almost done with the whole surgical process. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll find out if I can get my stitches out on Wednesday. Man that would be nice. I think it has done some serious healing in the last two days. The incision has finally slowed down the oozing of oil (dead white blood cells I guess). That was quite annoying.
Geez, I haven’t even posted how I got to this point. So two thursdays ago, I went to Inland hospital and checked in. About an hour later, I was preped for surgery, given IV, and all the paperwork. Kinda a hassle. So I kindly requested the lanacane to dull my arm before they inserted the IV. And I didn’t feel a thing. Then I was almost fading off, and began to shake uncontrollably. That ceased and then I passed out. I wake up about an hour later. My throat wicked scratchy. Turns out I had a breathing tube in, cuz I had to be laying on my stomach for the procedure. I remember hearing a patient next to me getting prepped for his surgery. He sounded so damn familiar. Course I couldn’t see him well since I didn’t have my glasses on. I think the guy was an Airolink customer.
So I finally get to my room and I basically pass out for a few hours. I finally wake up and begin the realization on how much a tard my roommate was. The guy was like 80 and I guess had alzheimerz. He kept getting up without help from nurses and pulling IV out (did that twice) and setting his alarms off. Course that woke me up. So basically I got no fucking sleep for two days, till they moved him to another room and I had the room to myself. That was sooo nice. btw, hospital beds are so fkin uncomfortable.
Pain wise, I didn’t have much. For the whole thing, I didn’t have much pain. It hurts to sit down, like a dull pain, so I just don’t sit down. Lie down and watch tv, stuff like that.
So my surgeon comes in on the 3rd day to check in on me. Looks at the incision and says I’m ready to leave. The nurse immediately shuts off my IV pump and takes the hose off my IV. She then leaves the room to do what I dunno. So I’m sitting there waiting for her to show up, and I feel my right hand getting all wet. I was like, wtf, I look down and blood is all over my hand, the bed, and the nurse call button. So I’m waiting for a few mins waiting for the damn nurse to show up. Finally I hit the nurse call button, and one of the cnas comes in. I’m like get this fkin thing outta me. I’m bleeding all over the place. Finally the nurse comes back and takes the damn thing out. Fkin idiot.
My insurance company tried to pull a fast one on me by denying me access to the hospital stay for three days. Fuckers. My surgeon calls the insurance company’s review board and is like, are you a doctor? The guy says yes. Are you a surgeon? Guy says no. Do you think you wanna be released 3 hours after you had a 2″ incision in your back? Guy like fine fine, I’ll let your patient stay. And they allowed it. Fucking quality healthcare, but you pay for it up the ass royally.
So I’m out of work till the end of the month basically. Kinda sucks. Then again, not much happening during winter at Airolink. Not much happening other than customers cancelling at Airolink. (hence why I need a new job very badly) So I am making a concerted effort to find a job. I should quit being so damn picky about the “perfect” job. Not gunna find one in Central Maine, if in Maine at all. Sucks to be here, but I don’t have much of a choice till I get enough money to move out. I made all of ten grand last year. Not much money to live on. Especially when most of it goes into my truck (gas and the damage I had fixed).
Speaking of that truck, I think it is lemon. I’ve had so many little problems. I dunno. I love the truck, but the problems fking piss me off. I dunno if it is GM’s problem or the dealership or both. I have a feeeling both. I really should stop going to this dealership. They always work on my truck last since it is warranty work and they make next to no money on that. Fkin all the run arounds with those fags.
HOLY SHIT I UPDATED MY WEB SITE!!!!! :-O
