Back at it!

I went back to school this week and did very well, with little help from the big white pills in my pocket ha ha! It turns out I didn't have a whole lot to worry about with. I have a little little work to make a pen still a good chance to pass both classes, so I'm happy and we'll see what happens with the final results in the coming weeks. I just might make it to this term after all.

it's time for some changes in myself and my life.

It's time for some changes in myself, I want to slow down my drinking as of now. That is today I am determined to do this for a variety of reasons. I could list tons of reasons why I should slow down my drinking or maybe even stop completely, for a second time.

But the main one is I'm sick of filling so exhausted along with turning my back several times a year and just being out of shape in general. Tapering off the alcohol slowly most likely won't change if all the above immediately but I can tell you the alcohol does contribute to all of this. I would be a fool in saying that does not have little effects on many aspects of how I take care of myself.

So since this recent back problem has been a major ordeal and my live, but drinking has to be addressed. So I'm going to give this slowing down a lot of thought and go for it. In addition with all the pain medicine I've been on lately, slowing down the drinking won't be a big deal I have done this four or five times over the years. So here goes next week is it. I'm not doing it.

All most done!

Well apparently the worst of this is almost over, today was the day that the doctor and I agreed to get this cyst out. And to my, while doing that didn't hurt as much as getting the pain medicine, to keep from feeling him cutting on me did. I believe I needed about seven to eight shots of the pain medicine to keep from filling up cutting of my skin. The whole time I was worried about filling the cutting and what hurt the most was the needle.

It was also a real trip to hear the snip snip of the scissors while he was cutting on me and feeling a little tugging. now all I have to deal with is having a few stitches for a little while, not a big deal I just can't shower like the way I usually do. This could prove to be a very interesting challenge, having to shower with a garbage bag taped to me. Don't worry I'll leave all the visuals to your imagination and leave out all those details :-)

I am scheduled for the 23rd of this month to get the stitches out, and at that point in this ordeal will be over with. I believe at this point I have missed two full weeks of school that's not good in my brain but I can make it up.

Not done yet.

well dang it I thought this would be the day to get this thing cut out, and sent home with a few stitches to deal with . It seems that I am still leaking :-).

The doctor apparently says it's not time to get rid of this thing So the doctor doubled up the dosage of the antibiotics for a few more days and I have to go back again for another follow. I guess things are still a little ugly back there . The little indecision that is probably no longer than an inch long still needs to be packed with bandages. That process is takes about a half an hour for mom to do, and it hurts like hell. This needs to be done about every day, I guess things could be worse but it still hurts like hell. I have to go back for a follow up on the ninth and maybe I will be able to have it cut out.

I am still a little loopy from the medicine, so needless to say at this point I am very worried about school but I will say everybody involved with that is being very understanding through all this I suppose I'll catch up and make up things to be made up.

At this point I'm sick of this thing, sick of being stoned out of my mind, not being able to have a beer and finally missing all the school and yes I know things could be worse but I have not been in the best of moods because of this. After this is over and done with it's time for some changes in how I fee land what I do physically, to take care of myself.

Well I did it again.

Here I go again, I hurt my back for the third time I believe this year. I just can't keep from hurting myself every time I turn around. Getting old is turning out to be a real pain lol. So off to the doctor I went yesterday to talk about my back pain. I made this appointment about a month ago, three weeks ago I think. Meanwhile while waiting for this day to come just to deal with my back I had another problem rear its ugly head and I mean that literally.

So I had two reasons to go see the doctor yesterday, and the second was worse than the first. I don't wish the second one on anybody. I am choosing to leave out a lot of gross glory details not only for your benefit but mine as well. About three to four days before this scheduled appointment I had, a cyst wanted to aggravate me or I should say make me very uncomfortable. I have had this minor small cysts in the middle of my back for better then 10 years. This hasn't been a bother for more than two or three years but he had right in the middle of school just before midterms I had had this thing dealt with.

Turns out it looked worse than it felt before the doctrine that all of the. Doctors are supposed to make you feel better, but the first part of this issue; the cyst that is was a very painful. Believe it or not the doctor cutting it open first and didn't hurt all that much, but the part that hurts the most was when he was trying to drain.

Now that I'm home I'm not having a good day, even though I am on a lot of pain medication :-) I just know that in my mind will not be able to stay together enough to go to school. And that really sucks because this is the week of midterms. Later today I'm going to have to have my mother do some medical crap to me and that will be very uncomfortable, but I must admit home care via mom is better then county hospital care in most cases :-). Oh goody, not, time for a pain pill.

Break time is over.

Well it looks like my play time is over, the next school quarter starts this week. So off I go again. This time around I have tougher classes and as most of you know by now when that happens I tend to disappear from all social circles from time to time :-)

This one is a 10 week run which does not mean that easier yet it does take a little stress off me when I have tough classes. I am determined to get the work done and get those credits added a, I don't have many more to go.

Let's see here is my schedule, Tuesdays and Thursdays. This one could work out very well, not to mention I love having Fridays off. Tuesday will be a long one for me, first class starts at 8 a.m. and the last class stops at 4 p.m. I really hate days like that, but a man's got to do what a man's got to do get the job done right? Thursday on the other hand is a half day.

Sadly I must say this is all bookwork, meaning a crap load of reading for me and we all know how much fun textbooks can be to read :-) So off to hibernate I go, as someone put it. Meaning when I have quarters like this I don't have time to play on the computer or radio. In I'll keep you informed throughout this quarter, but some of you know my blogging habits :-)

My last week of the summer.

Well as of 4:30 Pm tomorrow summer school will be over for me, so one term down and only three more terms to go. Also for some weeks now, to fill up some time I've been doing a lot of prep work for the fall and winter terms. This effort should make my last school year a little less buggy. I am really jazzed about the future, mainly because 2009/2010 WILL BE my Final year. So onward I shell go.
