Well I went to the Surgeon today, who promptly proceeded to tell me that he’d have to slice me open to drain the cyst right there on the spot. I wasn’t expecting that. The Lidocaine (local anesthetic) burned like hell going in and it took abt 20 minutes for him to be done. No stiches, just some packing and hell of a lot of gauze. He said good news is… I can go on my trip, bad news… warm baths 4 times a day and I gotta wear padding because I am gonna keep draining. I know I should be glad that I can still go but this thing has me worried and the whole hot bath to keep it oozing isn’t exactly what I want on a vacation to Cali. However as the day went on I was feeling better, and feeling better about my trip. Late last evening I wanted to go to the bathroom and get a shower so we needed to remove the guaze and padding which went well until we pulled the last piece of the gauze which was stuck to the packing and pulled half of it out. It hurt and bled like crazy i bled thru a gauze set up and finally it stopped. The worst part is I have to pull the rest out tomorrow I must also say I’ve passed my “who gives a crap about too much information in my blog” stage so you’re getting it full brunt, my feelings…. this suck and the world must suffer too lol mbx.

Excellent. The Eagles beat the Lions today 30-13 to go up 3 and 0. E-A-G-L-E-S Go Eagles!!! Music playing during post: None Well, This just keeps getting better and better now. I woke up today, feeling better but still draining, there is less swelling but I still can’t sit up. I am so tired of laying on my stomach. Hopefully the surgeon can get me in tomorrow and I can get this fixed. It’s no longer only draining pus but blood. I am sure this is too much information for my readers but oh well! Time for dinner. At least my appetite hasn’t died. mbx. Oh my gosh…this damn thing just started leaking. Oy I know that’s too much information but damn it did. It is nasty but the swelling is going down and it’s a bit less painful, just a bit. I hope this is a good thing not a bad. I am gonna hit the sack… mbx Music playing during post: None, Watching the Star Wars DVD extras (yes STILL!) I just got his new app called MacJournal. It supposedly lets me write here and upload to my blog. I want to test this functionality because I write lots of my blogs offline. It’s not bad but… 1. It kills my template in blogger however it’s good to write them in it and then cut and paste into blogger….check it out… http://homepage.mac.com/dschimp Zya.. Wow what a day it’s been. I woke up early this morning in an amazing amount of pain. The other day i was concerned that I had bruised my tailbone but this morning I found out how very wrong I was. I had a horrible lump at the top of my arse and it was so painful. I rang up my mom (hey she is an RN!) and asked her what she thought. She said she thought it was a Pilonidal Cyst. I was hella worried because I have to get on a plane on Thursday to fly to LA so I decided to get to the docs right away. It got worse as we drove to the doc’s. Once there the doc confirmed that yes, it was a cyst and it would have to be operated on eventually and that I’d have to go to get a surgical consult to figure out what to do. This was bad news because if they decided to operate right away, I don’t know that I’d get to go see Vu! I had a busy day which included me having to go to work to do some setup for a class on Monday and I was in sooo much pain. Once we got home I tried to soak it but it did not help. It was a bad day for sure. Now I am laying here on my stomach cause I can’t sit or lie on my back. This sucks. mbx. Music playing during post: None Ok, gonna take a stab at this online diary thing. Only the names will be omitted to keep people from getting pissed off, but I doubt they’d even know I was talking abt them. Okay it’s like this… I’ve been realizing that some people (I’m feeling like most of my friends these days) are really only my friends because they use me. I have one friend in particular who I thought was a very good friend, but I realized that he only ever seems to want to see me and now even talk to me when he needs something. I don’t want to say what cause that will probably make it too obvious, but it all started when I wanted to hang out with a friend of mine, someone I really enjoyed hanging out with. He couldn’t which didn’t bother me, but what did was when he made a comment to the effect that although it wasn’t a good time now, sometime soon he did need me to come up and help him fix his computer. It dawned on me that maybe this person (and others) only really spoke to me because like a dumbass I always help everyone with their computers. I didn’t think this could be because my friends wouldn’t do that, but I felt it. After pouting for a week, I decided to say something to him. As expected he didn’t even remember making a comment like that so I figured maybe I’d give him the benefit of the doubt that I was over acting (don’t we all from time to time have times when just anything sets us off?). I went on to confess how I am feeling (that people aren’t really my friends but just using me and he said that if I do, it’s partly my fault since I make my self available whenever anyway needs something and you can’t expect people to be as available as I am. I don’t get this. I thought that’s what you did for friends. What happened to the concept of being there for people? We moved on and as many have noticed I’ve been a bit distant and not online as much trying to get my head around my feelings…so the other day I get an email from this person asking where the heck I was and when are we gonna talk? I was so excited that he noticed I wasn’t on and that someone who I thought was a good friend actually missed me. I emailed him back and made an effort to be online the next day when he’d be online. I saw him and said Hi, he asked me how I was doing we chatted for a few minutes and then…he told me there was something wrong with his computer! I couldn’t believe this. Of course I told him how to fix what it was and we had some more conversation about what was going on with him and then I signed off. I decided that for a while I’d try NOT saying Hi when I saw him online and see if he’d message me… instead of me always messaging him first. Well much to my suprise, there were plenty of days where he never even said Hi. I did not expect that. I want to be wrong about him. I like him a lot and he’s been a good friend but I am really concerned that our friendship is changing, maybe he’s tired of me or something. Well the last 3 times he HAS said hi, it’s always been followed with a question about his computer or network or something….tonight was more of the same… and this time there will be a follow up because I identified the issue and gave him the solution but I know he’ll need help getting it done. Should I just suck it up and realize that I am a point of technical contact for lots of people, dispense advice help and not get upset when certain people seem to not care about me but just want their computers fixed? Should I say something? Should I just disappear from these people’s lives? I want to stress to people who read my blog that I do NOT feel this way about all of my friends, just right now a few of them. For the most part I feel that my friends, even my online only friends give as good as they get and that’s awesome, It’s just when this happens…it makes u feel like crap. Ok…off to bed… zya Music playing during post: L-O-V-E by Chistina Milan I gotta ask what the f. Poor Rob, I can’t believe someone stole Rob’s iPod. I mean who would do that. What is this world coming to. I really don’t get it. Ugh. I hope it gets it back. Music playing during post:Nothing…. Oh he’s back…for how long? Who knows… Well Mel came to town this weekend. It was a great visit, I was hella worried abt my mental status cause it’s been such a killer week…Wednesday, Erica’s birthday…dinner at my mom’s…Thursday Fig came over and we had pizza and some tv….Friday thru Sunday Mel… I was afraid I’d be bad company. Friday was also a hella bad day at work. Just lots of problems and such. I really thought I was going to have to come back after picking Mel up. Thankfully I didn’t need to. We went out to dinner on friday and laughed and chatted and had a great time. Saturday we were supposed to go pick up a loaner from Mike but the rain kept us in. We worked on Mel’s PowerBook and watched lots of Reality TV! Saturday nite we went to see “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow”. It was really really good, then we went and had a very late dinner (well breakfast for me!) and lots more good chatting! Today we went to Mike’s to pick up a loaner and got to see Chong which was nice. We couldn’t stay long because we had tons to do but we at least got to see them! Well I need to get running, gotta pack for my next trip! Zya Okay this is cool. In anticipation of Safari RSS and to work currently with Firefox RC1, I have added an ATOM/RSS stream. You can book mark it in Firefox by adding a new live bookmark. I haven’t figured out yet how to tell Firefox there is an RSS stream but I am working on it. To add the book mark go to Bookmarks…Manage Bookmarks. Click where you want the book mark to appear and then, click File…New Live Bookmark. In the dialog box, put in a name macboyx’s blog works well and in the location put: http://www.macboyx.com/blogs/atom.xml Now wherever you put that bookmark is now a folder of my blog entries! Enjoy |
