Whoa Nellie

Holy shit, I am cranky right now. Actually, I've been cranky since about 4:30 pm, where a couple of conversations (not the Princess Bride one, lol) torpedoed my generally positive outlook on life and humanity. But I haven't been able to regain my good mood since. *sigh* whatever, it will pass.

But yeah. Things I am Cranky About:

my ankles. I'm not being vain, they are swollen so stiff that it hurts to walk on them cause my skin feels like it's gonna split.

My scar. I'm far less gingery about it now, enough to be annoyed by the fact that everyday general activity now pulls at the sutures and gets ouchy around the staples.

The antibiotics. I'm tired of tasting them for hours, tired of smelling like them, just tired of TAKING them. I swear, I'm half expecting to explode in thrush or black hairy tongue or something, especially since if I get dehydrated or something my tongue just turns white and tastes funny for hours on end.

My nose, where the oxygen tube was. Shredded the skin right under it, and now it's all scabbing and nasty looking and I look like I have the worlds biggest cold sore.

My wind still isn't where it needs to be. I'm still coughing and damn it my voice has really gone to ground.I really have to wonder if I picked up the household chest cold after I got out cause this shouldn't have lasted this long. Of course people keep calling me and expecting me to talk to them so I'm sure that's not helping the vocal problem either.

I'm just so arfing sick of this whole thing tonight. I'm sure I'll be back to my usual bounce tomorrow, but tonight, I really kinda just want to hide in my room, stab things, and sleep.

Ms. Browne...you are suffering from IWTBTOM Syndrome (I want to be the old me). Symptoms are as follow;
I want to be able to do what I did before I got hurt NOW!
I don't understand if I am not in the hospital why I can not do the above.
I am tired of dealing with meds period, side effects, taste, remembering to take them.

I am tired of any physical reminders of my incarceration stay in the hospital.

as a former sufferer of said syndrome I can only tell you to take it slowly and have more patience with your body right now. I mean if you bust a staple your screwed dear. Also you do know that thing they told you to do...four letters starts with an R ends with a T....yea R-E-S-T, you should do it. don't answer the phone..this is what IM and TM is for.

BTW the white tongue thing, try scraping your tongue two or three times a day. Our bodies have so many ways of pushing things out.

oh trust, scraping is the first thing I try when my mouth goes icky.

Better now, I think I just needed to go the hell to bed.
