| - I'm Amazedcomplications(or potential ones) due to surgery:
- because i'm so small they only used one plate
- because i'm so small this one plate has a bigger chance of causing complications ie infection or whatever.
- because i'm so small it took them 30 min to put the catheter into my arm (you'll see it in a sec). the tip was situated right next to the main nerve that runs down the inside of my arm...they tried 4-5 times...there are several holes in my shoulder-_-; they said everytime i breathed it moved....so they had to redo it -_-;
freakin a why do i have to be so small -_-;
i was really surprised cuz the IV only took one try...not even one stick, but one try: ) it made me happy.
surgery in and of itself was good...i was a good patient...no major complications...just little ones: ) i talk a lot when im on drugs: ) and i lose all self control -_-;
for the past two days, i've had catheter that delivered local anaesthesia to my arm because apparently the pain is THAT bad. i hate the numb feeling -_-; like when you get your wisdom teeth out and ur drooling all over the place. it was kinda like that...except i couldn't support my arm and couldn't feel my fingers. lemme show you the machine that has been doing this.
you see that strap? i've had to carry it around like a fanny pack. yeaaaaa. pretty cool. so this thing was attached to me...
you wanna see where?
we had to take that off yesterday. and lemme tell you it was soooo gross. that wire was in me like around 4 in. and i had to pull it out by myself cuz casey HATES needles. he couldnt even watch me get my IV at the hospital -_-; AND as i was pulling it out it felt like it got stuck on something....so i was scared to keep pulling....just in case it was attached elsewhere too or it came out some other side or something.
the worst part was i couldnt shower. freakin a.
so the pain since taking off the machine has been good. i don't wanna take the pain killers cuz they make me nauseous....but i've been lucky...not much pain as long as i elevate it: ) but my hand still really smells...and my hand gets really sore when i try to move my fingers-_-; AND i'm waaaaaay too scared to turn my arm -_-; i'll just leave it for now...if anyone would like vicodin or amything stronger...lemme kno ;) i have tons extra.
it looks like i didn't lose much motion in my fingers. please start or keep praying for me.
happy late birthday mommy and steph shishido!!!
happy birthday christine: )

| finals is finally over, but i still have not managed to get a decent amount of sleep. thursday night/ friday morning i managed to get around 2 hours. I had a full day ahead of me. i took my last final at 8am and then had starbucks with ali : D then i got back and showered....and got ready for my emt class -_-; omg. gross. we got to class a little late (we're were supposed to be there at around 1 and we got there at 1:30) cuz janet helped me pick out new glasses! :D i played sims in class instead of sleeping, and then class finished at around 4:40pm....and for some reason didnt get to napping until around 7. I was nicely woken up at around 9:30 and drove over to the Blue mushroom to hang out with my class, though not many people were there. but it was fun! we watched 2 1/5 movies! elf, sweet home alabama, and the last 45 min of pride and prejudice, the long one. hahah then we sat around chatting...until 4am. smart idea...considering i had more emt class at 8am the next morning. I got home...checked a couple things...got into bed at 4:30. then, i got a phone call. hahaha stayed up and chatted some more until like 6am. and then i went to sleep. Janet picked me up at 7:45...and off we went. I took max an hour nap in class...haha. it didnt finish until....4:40 and we got to leave early....i took a shower and packed really quick....and drove to la. it took over two hours, and somehow i managed to stay awake :D i guess red bull really works, even if it was keeping me up just cuz it made me need to pee. i got to cze ja's birthday party...hung out until whenever....and then we went to drew's to play the Wii and i didnt even get to play it. hahahha jkjk we went to hang out...ahha. i left drew's at 2 and got home....slept at 3....got woken up by my mom before 9am. hahahaha. and now i can't sleep. yay!!!! and tonight im going to 9pm service at flood....that means...i prolly wont even get my eight hours before work. and on monday night i have to go to more emt class (no i don't usually have this much...just unusual circumstances) that ends at 9:30p...and then janet and i are doing an ambulance thing on tuesday morning at like 6. hahaha
i just need sleep.
yay!!! God is good!!! haha. yea i need sleep.

| I'm realizing that I'm trying to be too safe. I'm afraid to get my feet wet, afraid to make any moves cuz I don't wanna get hurt.
I need to get out of my bubble and take chances. If that's not the direction God wants me to take, then He'll show me. It's not ok to sit and wait for an answer. I need to do something that would warrant a response. Take a step of faith.
Reckless. hahaha. I get it now. Trusting God will take care of me.
I know He will.
yay finals!!!!
