So I thought I could go off some of my pain meds, and you know, function more like a normal human being. Well, the pains and aches that shot through my lower leg last night where the numbness is the worst told me differently. Apparently this is normal when nerves are recovering. I really fucking hope it stops soon, but I was glad to find out it ( Read more... )

I way over did it yesterday, which I guess I have a tendancy to do when I'm feeling a bit better. I went for a post op check up in the morning, walked to Liang Court for lunch, and then Ed and I went out to a restaurant for our anniversary. Toward the end of the day, exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks, and today my leg is really, really sore ( Read more... )

I saw my orthopaedic surgeon today and he says that my recovery is going fine. Most of the numbness is gone except for one place above my ankle and my toes. Full strength has returned to my ankle, but my toes are still a bit weak. The doc says my progress is good, but it's just going to take time for the nerves to fully heal and recover.

So since I've come here last, I've been in and out of the hospital, had somewhat major back surgery which will take 1-3 months to recover from, resigned from my job, and have been pretty much confined to the couch since got home from the hospital last Sunday ( Read more... )

There's enough drama in my life, I do not need to be teaching it as a subject in school. I'm nervous about doing it for the first time tomorrow. I have to run two sessions, one for the older kids (Grades 2-6) and one for the younger kids (grades Pre-K to 1). I'm more nervous about teaching the younger kids, which is fucked up because when I ( Read more... )

So life in Singapore sucks significatly less than when I last posted, but I'm pretty sure it's only because all that suckage has transferred itself to the United States as there is much strife in the family back home. I feel incredibly guilty about not being able to be there, especially for my brother ( Read more... )

Blah, I hardly ever come on here anymore and I don't know why. I guess due to lack of time and getting out of the habit writing. But I've had it, I've really had it and I need somewhere to vent ( Read more... )

My mom left to go back to Florida this morning and my cat was just picked up by the pet relocation company so she can begin her journey to Singapore. Half my furniture is gone -it just feels so empty and lonely here. I have a million things to do, but I'm so stressed out I just feel kind of tense and numb and unmotivated ( Read more... )

I'm leaving a week from today, my cat is leaving tomorrow. My Mom is going back to Florida tomorrow. And I have to be ready to move out of my house by July 13th.

Most of the major obstacles to leaving have been dealt with, but I still feel like there is so much to do before next Monday, and I don't know how it will all ever get done.

It looks like Kat will be traveling again in T-17 days. I'm moving to Singapore. I've given up my job, my master's raise, my friends and my family and I don't know if I'm going to like it. So here's to flushing your life down the toilet and starting all over again.
