Never a Dull Moment
I had my surgery Monday morning. Everything went as planned and I was at home resting on the couch by early afternoon. My dad was a great cheerleader and made for a great “Mr Mom”. =) Thanks to the remnants of anesthesia and some great pain meds I was feeling pretty good that afternoon. In the midst of my recovery haze I got a phone call from one of the companies that I had been interviewing with… They were offering me a job! I somehow managed to form complete sentences and accepted the offer. I also managed to pull it together long enough to call my current company to give them my notice. (At least I think I did all of that).
Tuesday morning my dad and I were up early to be back at the eye doctors office by 9am. This was the part of the procedure that I was not looking forward to. The doctor removed the bandages, numbed my eye and did some final adjusting with the sutures he had placed the day before. All I will say is that it was not an enjoyable experience. I left his office looking like I had been in a fist fight… and I was on the loosing end.
My dad and I had a quick bit to eat at our local Waffle House (don’t judge me). I was mortified by my appearance and sat through the meal with sunglasses on. At that point, my eye looked much worse than I felt. I had the rest of the day off and so did dear ol’ dad. It was 70 degrees. So what did we do? Went to the lake of course! The two of us met up with my uncle and spent the rest of the afternoon cruising around on Lake Lanier. In my opinion the sun and fresh air were just what the doctor ordered!!
Today I am back at work. My eye looks…. horrible. It is extremely blood shot and swollen to the point where I can hardly open it. I tried really hard to make it through the day without pain meds, but around 11am I gave in. I think my coworkers appreciate the “partially drunk Michelle” over the “it hurts to breath Michelle”.
As if recovering from surgery wasn’t enough I am now officially looking for a new place to live. My new job will be down on the west side of Atlanta and waaaaay to far away for me to commute from Gainesville. I am hoping to do some apartment searching this weekend. I also have to pass a drug test this afternoon for my new company…. which is almost comical at this point. I had my doctor put together a list of all of the drugs that I have been on since Monday. Its two pages long. The highlight is the Cocaine drops (I kid you not) that were used in my eye yesterday. I am sure to fail that drug test with flying colors!!
