I feel pyrexic and hypoglycemic.
Neither are fun.
So far school is going well but I'm sure at some point during the semester I will be wicked stressed because of all the courses I am taking. Last semester was relatively easy with taking 15 hours but man...this semester they totally packed us down with all the hard courses. All of the following courses have an attached mandatory 3 hour lab:
Pharmacology
Parasitology
Clin(ical) Path(ology)
Lab Animal
Small Animal Medicine
Okay, just thought I'd write something to kill time before my 3 hours of Parasitology Lab....yippy....
I can barely type cause I'm shaking so bad but I stocked up on sugar earlier this morning so later on today I'll be hopped up on sugar. For now I'm off to eat my Cinnamon Life and study about parasites that'll make me never want to eat anything ever again. Late. |

Yesterday was my appointment with the surgeon and he says that I definitely need to have surgery to remove my gallbladder...
Wednesday 1-3-06 at 1:00 is when things are scheduled for. I as of yet am not freaking out but I'm sure the closer things get the more stressed out I will be. As for now I have a hot date with a phlembotomist at the hospital to do preop bloodwork and paperwork. |

It been far too long since I've written in my livejournal so I figure now is as good a time as any to update.
(reverse chronological)
Most recently I had to be taken to the ER on Christmas Eve. I had to sit in the waiting area a good 2 hours as is customary for any ER visit and the final diagnosis was that I have gallstones and the beginnings of cholecystitis. I don't know a lot about the medical field just yet but when the phlembotomist that was taking my blood didn't secure the cap on my IV thingy and I had blood running down my arm it wasn't the best time to say "well at least we know you bleed good." :/ The doctor obviously thought it was severe enough to want to admit me but I opted to go home. Just a heads up...demerol is not fun...but it was a hell of a lot better than the stuff that started with an r that they gave me prior to it. They prescribed me lortab which is almost like vicodin sorta but I really am not digging the loopiness that comes along with narcotics so much so as of yet I've only taken 2.
I totaled 1997 Toyota Carolla #2 on Halloween via hydroplaning into the back of a GMC van that had minimal to no damage. RIP POS car. Both I and the men in the van were okay so it's all good. I bought myself a sweet 2002 Civic that could only be more awesome if it were painted lime green. :)
I lost a crap load of weight in a really short time frame which isn't good but eh. With all of my recent internet research on gallbladder disease it seems that the loss of 40-50 pounds over the course of 2 months is most likely cause of it. Depression isn't fun, but things are good now.
I didn't get a chance to post before the semester started but most people already knew that I got accepted into the veterinary technician program WOO HOO! Out of the original 32 people in our class only 25 (or less) passed the semester and are eligible to enroll in the upcoming semester. I was one of the passing ones with all A's and B's. I look damn spiffy in scrubs too :)
Toby (my husky) was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy so I will have to give him phenobarb most likely for the rest of his life. At least I went into the right field.
No guys in the picture, thank G_d.
Grammy is her same self-centered self and I've honestly stopped caring when she's annoyed because it's become an everyday occurrence. She can't stop feeling sorry for herself long enough to be concerned for anyone else. The way my mom put it to her when she didn't think I was around was "you have a bum leg, she has a potentially life-threatening illness." The magnitude of that statement has yet to set in but I'm, trying not to freak out prematurely. We are going to try to set up an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow and they are hoping that I'll be able to get the surgery done sometime this week.
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and holidays.
For now I am off to bed. |

Oddly enough I'm fine.
Regardless of having my heart trampled on.
The aforementioned guy I talked about liking doesn't feel the same. In actuality it was love, and now it's nothing. I'd been in pain for so long that I had already come to terms with it before he finally got around to telling me. I told him that I think I'd be fine if he told me that he didn't feel the same for me anymore, just as long as he told me something...and I am.
I found out that even though Sal may not always want to hear something that he always cares. That meant a lot to me. We talked on the phone lastnight longer than we have in years...I miss that....just talking.
There's a new guy that I've been talking to that I have a lot in common with and I can be myself around. From the beginning I've been honest with him about everything as for there to be no misunderstandings, and he's still stayed around. He is a really nice guy but I'm going to take a good long while before I jump into anything. I'm at the point where I want a relationship but I don't think that I'm ready for one. I'm just going to let things pan out for themselves and not stress it.
I have a deal going with Matt to hit at least one art museum per month, so at least I can get some type of culture in me. I'm super excited because I just found out about one I want to go to.
Also, I'm going to Austin on Friday to visit Travis..........yeah...........I'm not so sure how that's going to go. I haven't seen him in 11 years, but even then he was kind of wierd.
I also need to get in touch with Nathan and Tura and see when we're gonna go fishing at Thunderbird. |

Reynaldo aka ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) searchers aka "Big Green Monkey" loves me.......AWWWWWWWW.
:)
Mental note: If he at any point ceases to make fun of me there's something wrong. :P
I haven't hung out with him in so long it's ridiculous. Fun times..... Tomorrow should be fun. |

Tonight was fun. I went out to dinner with some friends and we had a blast. I hadn't seen John in a really really long time and I forgot how cool he was. Reuben almost got in a fight with some overly sensitive redneck because John accidentally bumped into his chair. What's the good thing about being the only girl at a table full of guys?...being the only girl at a table full of guys...plus, if shit went down with the crazy guy, at least I wasn't in the aim of fire. We were loud and crazy and people kept looking at us but that's cool, we had fun.
After that I wasn't really in the mood to go home so I decided to take a little drive. Well, actually it was a long drive. I just decided to spontaneously drive out to the middle of nowhere to look at the stars (sound familiar Rey?) Where'd I go? I didn't really drive to anywhere, just until there were no lights and minimal cars. My tripometer registered something like 210 roundtrip. It's very refreshing...even though I only got out of the car and looked at the stars for 5 minutes.
I've got work tomorrow so I have to get to sleep. |

I know it's been entirely too long since I've updated but sooooo much shit has gone down that's not even worth the time spent chronicling in my LJ.
My life's pretty great fantastic right now. I'm still single but there are definite options for advancment. This is something that's been a long time coming. Honestly it was a bit unexpected but I guess that's the way things work. *sighs*
Work.....work.....I'm not even going to get into that topic.
School is going great.
Lately I've been meeting a lot of new people and getting to know people that I know casually a little better. People that I'd never imagine myself hanging out with I'm now spending time with. It's a nice change.
A lot of my friendships that I had origianlly thought were healthy are suffering because now I realize that those friendships were the one's that were poisoning me. (*this statement applies to no one who reads it) I've come to terms with my failed friendships/relationships and am thankful that I have true friends to fall back on.
I'm talking to Manuel more lately. He opened up an art gallery south of San Antonio that's amazing and has offered to paint me a "Manny Cantu original" for my newly painted room. Woo hoo. He's a great artist.
Speaking of paint, seeing as how I just mentioned my room....I painted my room. Ta da. For anyone that remembers my room from before (ack) it looks NOTHING like that anymore. The yellow furniture is now white with silver handles and the walls are light blue. It makes me happy. But I never want to see another can of paint for as long as I live.
Everything's balancing out nicely.
I haven't been to a Comedia show in longer than I can remember because of drama or bad timing but Manuel and I are steadfast on going. I'm pretty excited. |
