Have we met before?
I can't believe it's been practically a month since I last updated. I'm not even sure why it is I am writing now... I am nearly falling over from being so tired, but for whatever reason getting over the hurdle of going to brush my teeth seems to be reason enough for me to stay awake for the moment.
I need to write. I had an eventful past couple of weeks... and I may be undergoing some rather serious eye surgery in the near future, so should probably try to document as much as possible what it's like to have vision out of my right eye, encase I loose it for whatever reason. But, because I am terminally and hopelessly lazy, here is a quick list of things that I need to write about:
1. I spent a week at Matt's house, from 8/20 to 8/29. I had a great time, and for the first time that I can remember in a longgggg time, my "out of sight, out of mind" tactic isn't working for being ok with being apart from him. I miss him, and I am very lonely.
2. While in Arizona, Matt's parents paid for a trip to Las Vegas for 2 nights. I got know Matt's parents alot better, which was nice. I went to Las Vegas with $12 in my pocket, but from playing Wheel of Fortune machines I managed to get up to $220 one day. We also saw the Blue Man Group at the Luxor, which was a *great* show. I did not walk down the trip at night though, which is the only thing I really wish I had done and didn't.
3. The rest of the week at Matt's was peaceful and nice.
4. After seeing flashes of light in my right eye for the better part of a year, I finally got some insurance (only until my birthday, though) and went to an eye doctor last Thursday. He informed me that the hole I knew I had in my retinea had now become two, and that there was now a bit of fluid near them... which could soon detach my retinea completely. Right now it's a semi detachment, since it's upraised. I will have to get a second opinion, and then will probably do what has been suggested: get laser eye surgery to try to reattach the area near the holes. The surgery may or may not work. If my retinea detached while I was not covered my insurance... bye bye sight in my right eye.
5. I also went to a doctor about my IBS. I explained my symptoms, and to the doctor it seemed too drastic of a change over the course of a year. Before I get another scope (oh, how I cannot wait to see my colon on TV again) she gave me a new prescription to try and see if that helped at all. Shame the pills cost $20, and if taken as directed, would only last 8 days. The doctor thinks I may have "progressed" to have the same thing my father does... and oddly, I'm happy about that. IBS is a blanket term for anything abnormal that has unknown causes, which can be many things that I don't experience... inflammatory bowel diseases actually have meds designed for constant symptoms. Yay.
Before I get stuck awake for the next 2 hours, I need to make myself get up and de-funk my teeth. I'd like my entries to focus more on my life, if I can get myself to post more. I went through a phase of wanting to post introspective stuff, since there really wasn't anything going on in my life. There still really isn't anything going on now either (other than the above mentioned), so my updates will probably be rare until I do something noteworthy.
