pain
Where to start, where to start! Okay lets talk about that laptop I wanted to throw out the window!:D That laptop is Luke's. A foreman in Randy's company. Randy is the IT/Comp Tech Support Guy also and Luke the idiot got a very nasty virus on his laptop by hitting porn and not so on the up and up blogging sites. Randy took one look at the laptop issues and point blank informed his bosses that they best put a stop to the porn and other crap on company computers or they will get a nasty virus on the server and then will end up paying Randy out the ass to get everything back up.
So why was I working on the laptop? Well Randy was home each night up until last night because he was traveling to area job projects instead of working on his own project and I was having surgery yesterday. Randy also has 3 other new comps that he has to set up for one of the owners and two other foreman and didn't have time. He contracted my serves out to his company and I am going to be paid 15 bucks an hour when I tech out any company computers and laptops now. Luke's alone I made $180 bucks on cause Randy wasn't lying, Luke had a NASTY ass virus on his laptop. But I got it up and going, free and clear of all viruses, all his work programs back on and updated, and Randy finished it out by setting up the company email. This by the way was part of Sunday and all day Monday.
Tuesday, I packed the kids for an overnight at my parents house, kept callign randy in Orange City to make sure he was at the kids' school play (pictures and video to come later-same with DeLaney's sleep over) on time and to make sure he didn't run on Randy time. Sometimes known as running on: Indian time, Hispanic time, Pagan time, and Druggy time!. That irritates the FARK out of me. The kids' holiday play was at the St. Aug's church and it was packed! K-8th grade were all involved and not only were parents and siblings there but lots of grandparents, aunties, and uncles. My parents didn't go because my dad is still not getting around the greatest. It takes about 5-6 months to get complete feeling back in his nerves and regain balance from Guilliam Barrer's syndrom. Thus why I took tons of pictures and some video. Did I mention that I figured out my camara has video!:D After the play, where I ran into alot of highschool friends and their parents and a few of my sister and brother's highschool friends and parents, Randy took Coltin to my parents while DeLaney and I ran to the bar and got some food for all of us because we didn't get to eat before hand. Micky, the cook that night, LOVEs kids and I had a hard time getting DeLaney and Micky to understand that we had to go. He bellied DeLaney up to the bar got her a free Sprit, gave her a few dollars in quarters to play the bar video game, darts, and played a round of pool with her. Then DeLaney mentioned she just turned 9 and the bartender that night, Cole gave her a bowl of maschino cherries and had Micky make her up some cheesy fries which they aren't suppose to do:D. I finally got DeLaney and myself out of the bar 45 minutes later and took her to my parents, got the kids going on their food, talked to my parents for a lil bit, reminded my dad to pick the kids up at 1:30 on Wensday due to them starting Winter break. I then took my happy ass home and crawled into bed. Four thirty in the morning comes really early when your not use to it!
Wensday I had to be at the Surgery Center at 6:30, which ment leaving the house at 5:30. It is about 45 minutes to the hospital and surgery center, and since we do live in an area where a lot of folks start work between 5-6, we had to contend with morning traffic. I was soooooo happy, the X-Rays on my left knee showed a LOT of damange, possible damage to my ACL graft from highschool, and other ligaments needing repaired, the doc got in there (i was his first surgery of the day...woot!) and granted he took out a good portion of my cartilege and bone spurs, my ACL graft and other reconstruction from 15 years ago was still going strong!
Since I was the first paitent of the day, we were home by 11 am, and Randy still had my dad go get the kids because I had a ruff go of coming out of anistisha this time around. I was out of the surgery center faster but we aren't sure if it is because they have been inside this knee before or what, but I can actually say I am not getting around as well as I did with my last knee surgery. They sent me home with lidocaine, darvest, and a small dosage of demoral. I am to also take an asprin a day and take the ibrophine between the other pills. I have such a high tolerance to pain meds and a high thresh hold to pain that none of this shit seems to be working. Plus my mom and I didn't get a hold of Grandma Whitewater to get a hold of any of the local herbs for a pain killing type tea and now we are tryign to get a hold of her, which is hard beause she lives down bottom and no phone. So I am having to deal with the pain as much as possible. The animals are worried as hell and the kids actually jumped Randy's ass last night after I hobblied upstairs at 9 after taking a couple darvest with ibprophin about him being on the road till tomorrow night. Randy is feeling very very guilty and has left a list of phone numbers and things for the kids just in case something shoudl happen. My dad is also goign to hobble his ass up a couple of times today to check on me. This go around, I am settling in one place and dayumed if I move my knee is that swelled and hurting that bad.
On the up note with Randy though, he felt so guilty about leaving this morning at 4 to be gone till Friday night, that my hosue is clean, the majority of the laundry is done, most of the presents are wrapped, he cooked dinner and he is going to try and get a hold of one of my friends to get my prescriptioni for more pain pills and my diabetic meds with out me having to leave the house and drive. I reminded him I need to get grocieries and he got really upset with me and said I shouldn't because I am having more issues and I said well your not going to be home till friday and the kids are now on Winter Break I need to have some extra items in the house! So the butt head called my mom an hour ago and asked her to take me shopping tonight and make sure I was in one of those old people scooters as he calls them and to take my van keys from me so I wasn't attemptign to ttake the kids to taekwondo tonight or tomorrow night!
Thankfully my mom pointed out to him that regardless if I am in pain or not that I will run my house and get my errands done. And also reminded him that I can deal with the pain, I just can't deal with my schedule going all to hell which if I am stuck home will. But she did promise him, that my meds will be gotten by my friend and she would take me up tonight to go shopping and that I would have the pain management that I needed. She also reminded him that the kids are on Winter Break so I will have to keep them busy this whole time and he needs to understand when Mom goes down, she doesn't actually go down, she can't, things just slow up some but I will have everything done. I have a feeling that Randy is going to do all the cleanign when he gets home! Yay!
So that is what has been going on here. Winter Break for the kids and Pain Management for Me:D
