Marilyn Manson would be jealous

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

so the patch came off and it was NASTY… of course they used industrial strength tape that stuck to all the tiny hairs on my face. i really hope this bloody eye doesn’t last for 3 months like it has in the past!

i swear i was trying hard not to look miserable in this picture…

don't look at ma aaaaaaaahye!

don't look at ma aaaaaaaahye!

OH! and for even more fun and excitement, i just noticed its even still a little dilated… YAY!

Sans eye

Saturday, February 7th, 2009


Got a l’il eye surgery on Friday morning bright and early to try and offer a more permanent treatment for my pars planitis – cryotherapy(freezing the lower part of my eye) and a kenalog injection. The procedure only lasted about 20 minutes and I don’t remember a thing :)

There has been minimal pain, a dull achey pressure if anything. Jason has been extremely helpful but unfortunately has to go back to work for a 12 hour day today!

Sleep was fleeting last night, I can only sleep on one side, and it’s not my preferred side, or my back which just isn’t comfortable for anyone unless you’re a vampire- jk. All this was made even more difficult by Jason’s snoring all night. He usually sleeps on his side too, but maybe out of unconcious support for me, he kept rolling onto his back.

Today I get to change my patch, and I hope it’s not too scary under there- though to be honest I’m afraid to look. I think I remember something while still pretty foggy about an incision? We’ll see I guess…

Shredding pounds off my body with a blunt object

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Yes, I’ve joined the ‘biggest loser’ masses… I started the 30 Day Shred DVD with Jillian Michaels last night, and MAN am I feeling it today!! All you do is work out 20 min a day, every day, increasing to one of three levels each 10 days or so. She works you so hard though, I had to take a couple breaks. I am excited about the possibility of seeing massive results in such a short amount of time, so I’ll keep y’alls posted.

Side note, she kind of reminds me of my (younger) step-sister so it’s a little weird having her bark orders at me.
