WTH!!!!!!!???? Yes- you did say you were having surgery etc- but Nik-OMG STILL in the hospital!? Did you expect to be there this long? Is this normal? OK- nothing is normal about what you are going through or what happened
Do you have any idea when you can go home? I am so sorry you have to go through all of this.
I am sending positive thoughts your way! I hope you have your iPod with you to keep you half way sane
My SIL, the one who had the botched hyster surgery about 2 months ago (I think I may have told you....) still can't pee on her own! She has to cath herself and who knows, she may have to do that for the rest of her life b/c a doc screwed up and sliced up her bladder and the tubes that lead from her kidneys to her bladder!
Actually she is going into surgery today to have the stents they put in the "tubes" removed. Hopefully things will function better after this.
eh- I don't know what set me off- I guess just one too many comments. Like you said- I feel like an outcast (not that that bothers me- it pisses me off more than anything) My DH tolerates the music- and he does go to all of my concerts and enjoys himself- but he does not have a LUV for it. I am pretty much a loner, I get excited about things all on my own.
Heck- when other people listen to THEIR music- I keep my mouth shut. (OK secretly I am saying WT%$$?
, but I keep it to myself b/c I know I hate when people do that to me) Why can't people do the same with us?
ACK! Whatever- honestly I feel "special" (in a
good way
) that I am who I am, and not just part of the herd.
Take care Nik! If you can, keep me up to date.
Well, if you count all of the surgeries I have had done for this, I think I'm up to 11 total right now. I'm still here in my hospital bed, not allowed to get up except to go to the bathroom. I'm supposed to get this tube out tomorrow. If I don't have any cerebrospinal fluid leaking out after they take the tube out, I'm going home. If it starts leaking again, I'm having yet another surgery. Keep your fingers crossed. I just want to go home, sleep in my own bed, and not have people waking me up every 15 minutes. And it would be nice to...well...ya know...
. I'm going through some major withdrawal there. Haven't gone this long without it since I started.
Oh, and I have no Ipod. Just have this crappy wireless internet access. Can't even get on YouTube to listen to anything cause they have it all blocked.
I had no idea your sister was going through all that. I certainly hope she's going to do something to get some kind of compensation from that doctor. I'm not normally one to say sue, but my god, the woman can't even pee! That doctor shouldn't even be practicing. I really hope all goes well for her.
I can usually say that I'm proud to be an outcast, if that's what people want to call me. I just prefer to not be a follower. Don't let it get ya down. There are lots of us that are the same way. As the saying goes...it is what it is. Don't let anybody change you, cause I think you're pretty damn cool. Screw everybody else. They're the weirdos, as far as I'm concerned anyway. I think that the reason people say things about us behind our backs is because we are intimidating to them. At least, that's what I like to believe.
Nik- just one more question..... I did not notice this before, but does your ticker say
8 years until your next trip??
yeah. I have some friends that got me to sign up for that Sunshine Rewards program. I did some surveys and made some money from it, but I just can't stick to it. I figured if I wanted to make enough money for it to pay for a trip, that's how long it would take. I'm afraid it will take even longer, since I never do anything with it. I was just being a weirdo when I made that ticker. I'm not good at making signatures, so a ticker is my only option. God, I'm babbling again. It's cause I just got shot up with fentanyl. Drugs make me babble.
I doubt any Country head has ever carved Toby Keith's name into their forearm LOL
This literally made me laugh out loud. I can just imagine it.
No offense but you sound like a Mortician album cover come to life
Seriously I hope that you recover sooner than later so you can get back to what is important head banging to Metal!!!
Yep, I'm hacked up for barbeque!
Thank you so much. I don't know that I will ever be able to headbang again. I mean, I watch those guys who just swing their hair around in circles and just looking at them makes my head hurt. But I am itching to go to a concert. I can't wait for something good to come withing driving distance.
I started liking KISS
rotfl2
Hey now, no laughing. I'm going to see them in December. I still like them. They are the reason for the obsession with the other stuff.
when I was 11. That is when I went to my first concert. (showing my age, but I think that was in '77
)
I was born in '77!
The kids in my school always made comments. Thank goodness I had my 2 cousins right next door to me and we all enjoyed our music together-
Kids can be such jerks sometimes. I don't ever remember anyone saying anything to me about the music I liked, probably because I was a little
Amazon woman when I was a kid and a lot of the kids were afraid of me. Anyway, I hope my kids never have to deal with that from other little monsters. I'm trying to raise my kids to be able to make their own decisions and not just do what everyone else does. A lot of the kids you see today really are monsters anyway. I'm so glad I didn't become a teacher, like I was going to. Other people's kids get on my nerves.
And b/c of my age- people are shocked to find out this is the music I luv. My friends still make comments- "are you STILL listening to that?" Or, "Are you going to be listening to that when you are in your 60s and 70s!?"
Madd, that's total BS that people even feel the need to make those comments. I don't know why people think it's their place to tell another person what they should or should not choose to listen to. Who cares how old you are, or if you're a woman, or if you're black, white, old, young, whatever. Why do some people feel that it's necessary to tell another person how they should or should not behave? Grr...makes my drugged up butt mad.
Honestly- I will have to say I would not be into the music I am into today if it were not for Sattelite radio. I was into old skool metal, Slayer, Testament, Exodus etc. but- when I got Sirius years ago, I found that Octane (or whatever they call it now) was way too tame and lame for me- I needed to step it up a notch. I flipped on Hard Attack (which is now Liquid Metal) and I was turned on to so many other bands that I never listened to and began to appreciate the good stuff- Like- Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Dimmu, Lamb of God- I feel like I found my music "nitch". ITA with you that they do play some crap in between, but I now find myself listening to my CDs of these bands and I do not need the radio that much anymore- but sometimes I flip it on just to listen and I am glad I do, b/c I like to find new bands, even if I have to hear some crap in between- it is a sacrifice that I am willing to take
But I think Sattelite pointed me in the direction I really wanted to go.
I love me some Sirius. Although I think it was stupid of them to change 27 from Hard Attack to Liquid Metal. I think Liquid Metal is a stupid name.
Just got done watching 'Anvil: The Story of Anvil' on DVD. Such a great documentary! I think it really hits home on what the metal culture is all about.
I'd write more, but I've been getting ready for my trip all day and I'm beat to heck. By tomorrow afternoon, I'll be drinking some beers and cranking some metal at Ft Wilderness! For now, I need to get some sleep.
Tat2ddisneymom ... I hope you are doing better and wish you a speedy recovery!
I REALLY want to see that Anvil movie! I was one of the few people who was into them when they actually were touring with the bigger named bands. I can remember buying that album, "Strength of Steel" on cassette tape. I still laugh at the video for Mad Dog off that album and you just have to love songs like Concrete Jungle and 9 to 5. Even their most cheesy album was good.
I am so jealous! Have a great time on your vacation! Have an alcoholic beverage for me. It has been awhile. Thanks for the good wishes. I'm getting there.
I was just talking to DH tonight about next year's Oct trip- we will probably be going to Universal's Horror Nights!
I want to do this SO BAD! Halloween is the only holiday that I get really excited over, and I think I would love something like Horror Nights. Some of the pictures that I have seen from it are SO realistic looking. Looks like a lot of fun, and very different from Disney, which can be a good thing sometimes.
Okay, this is probably going to be a mega post...like I said, blame the IV medication. Stay metal, peeps. \m/
