Evening!!!
Wow I slacked this week! It's Tuesday and I still have yet to blog about last week. It was pretty quiet, as are most weeks lately. Wasn't too much excitement going on.
The first part of the week was laid back with school work, and pumping my self up for my surgery that was to happen on Thursday!!! Thursday morning, we head over to Moncton, New Brunswick, to the hospital, Moncton General for an endoscopy and biopsy. The doctor over there was taking biopsies of my stomach lining, a biopsy to test for Celiac Disease and a biopsy of my ilya, which is the part between your small intestine and your stomach. While they were doing the scope they also placed a pill with cameras on it, in my small intestine. They had me hooked to a wiring harness, and mini camcorder for 12 hours, or until the pill had passed into my large intestine.
When heading into surgery, I had expressed to the Doctor that I wanted to be sure that I was not going to wake up part way through, b/c I had spoken to three other people and they all woke up part way through. He assured me I wouldn't, but low and behold, part way through, I wake up gagging on the gadget they have shoved down my throat and into my belly. The Nurses were less than appealing as they were fighting with each other in front of patients!! Real mature!! Anyway, when I started to come to and knew I was gagging on the scope, the nurse and Dr. were yelling at me to CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN, JUST BREATH!!! How the hell does one do that with a contraption strapped to your mouth to hold your mouth open, and a scope shoved down your throat?? Honestly?? At that point they gave me more anesthetic, but not quite enough as I woke up AGAIN as they were pulling the scope out!!! I would ABSOLUTELY take a colonoscopy over an endoscopy ANY day of the week!!!
I finally get wheeled back into my little area to kind of come to, and I sit up feeling loopy as old hell trying to blow my nose! *I was getting over a cold!!* I was only back in the area maybe 5 minutes, and when the bitch nurse saw me sit up, she said, "Oh good you're up!! K lets get dressed and get you out, I need this bed!" Soo comforting!! didn't ask how I was doing......... If I was ok to walk..... NOTHING.... Just a get up and get out!!! I wait for the Dr to speak with me, and when I do, he tells me that I can leave the hospital, but DO NOT go near banks or an air-port! This was stressed to me several times, and I didn't quite catch why, being loopy and all. When I ask Adam why, sure enough, when I look down, the wiring harness and the imagine pack looked like a well constructed bomb!! Sweet Jesus!!!
Now, anyone who has been to Moncton as often as we are, knows there really is not a whole lot to do in the winter time, kind of like here in little ole Charlottetown! Our first stop is the Mall, because we know we can kill an easy 2-3 hours in there!! We go get Adam something to eat *I was restricted to water until the pill passed* and finally get shopping. After that, we still had the rest of the day to put in time, so we hit up various spots!! It was by far the most BORING time in Moncton I have ever spent!!!
Finally we head back to the hospital in the evening to see how far the pill had gone. I finally had the go ahead to take the harness off!!! I was OVER THE MOON!! oh and starving!! We leave the hospital and I said to Adam to take me straight to Quiznos!! This momma was getting a bloody oven sub and no one was going to stop me!!
When we're away we eat at places that we don't have on the island. Quizno's is one of our usual spots, along with Arbys, Jungle Jims, Montana's, Mike's, etc. We used to LOVE getting Pizza hut for our drive home, but we've got one of those now, and the novelty of it has worn off. So I get my foot long sub, woof it down like it's my last meal, and then go to Arbys to get some Sammiches with cheese to take home!! The girls LOVE Arbys, so it was kind of something for us all. But mainly me!! LOL!!
The weekend, was extremely slow!! We did get caught up on the laundry, and house work. The house needed it. Looked like a hurricane came flying through!!
So, to the name of the title?? Storm Week?? Well,it started on Saturday night when a storm system rolled in, and dumped snow right into Sunday leaving 25+ cm in it's wake!! It's now Tuesday. We have a storm system moving in tonight, which will dump 5-10cm of snow over night and into tomorrow. Expected to by sunny by mid afternoon tomorrow!! Perfect right?? NOPE!! Then ANOTHER system moves in tomorrow night into Thursday dumping ANOTHER 25+cm's of snow, and the forecasters are calling for yet ANOTHER fuckin' system on Friday!! Now, I love winter, and snow!! I do!! Believe me. But when we're missing so much school b/c of it, we don't get the opportunity to make up for it was days tacked on at the end of the school year. This poses a huge problem for me considering I've only got something like 50 or less days left!!! Oh my nerves!!!
Well guess I'm going to take off from here........
If I'm not back in a week..... Just wait longer......... Lord knows how long it will take to get the snow cleared!!!
Chat at you all later,
