hey guys
ive returned home alive :)


FRIDAY
woke up at 4am !!! D: it was horrible, 4am shouldnt exist. so i had a shower to try and wake up and i kind of fell asleep.
then i finished getting ready and packing and all that
then me, mom and dad got in the car and started the drive to brisbane
all was well and good until we got to gympie, then dad stopped at a rest stop and went and got himself breakfast, this was after 7am so i wasnt allowed to eat and you know what he did he ate it in the car right in front of me. i was so annoyed. he wanted to come and support me through my knee surgery and he eats in front of me! not that he needed to eat because he is pretty fat.
anyway then we finished the drive to brisbane and once we got into brisbane dad got lost.
it wouldve been much easier to catch a train to brisbane.

i eventually got to the hospital and got checked in and everything, dad got bored and went to the motel after 5 minutes
then i went into the first waiting room for about 4 minutes
then i went into a room and talked to a nurse to make sure i didnt have allergies or whatever and got my medical bracelet thing, the nurse put it on too loose i was able to slide it on and off my wrist easily.
then i got given the gown and stuff to change into.
then i was in the next waiting room, waiting.
then i talked to the anethatist, he asked me questions and everything.
then back into the waiting room
i wasnt taken into the next waiting room until nearly 2pm
in the final and last waiting room i got to lay in a bed with two heated blankets :) oh how i love heated blankets, and the assistant anethatist talked to me about what exactly would be happening during my surgery.
and then finally i was wheeled into the operating theatre.
i had to slide across to the operating table, luckily i got to keep my heated blankets with me because it was a bit cold in there.
then the anethatist let me watch him put the drip needle into my hand! the last one didnt let me watch. and then he let me help by pulling a plug out of it :D
then he put in the stuff that relaxes you and makes you a little lightheaded and then thats all i remember from that part
then i woke up in recovery, that was confusing because i was still kind of out of it but i remember they had to monitor my heart because it was beating too fast.
then when i was more properly awake one of the male nurses said to me "here comes bob with your bed" then i was slid across to my bed and wheeled up to my room where i proceeded to have a nap.
not much else happened that night

SATURDAY (today)
drove home
i was lying on the couch earlier on my hiptop and i went on msn and all of a sudden riley was asking all these questions about my surgery which id told him about on wedensday so i basically said to him "you would know all of this if youd simply taken an interest when i first told you"
and he just got all princessy and stuff so i logged off.
then when i logged on just now hes all buddy buddy again so i dunno, seems he wants to talk when hes got a complaint or something to brag about.

i also have two little cuts one above and one beside my knee from where the surgeon cleaned out scar tissue.
my knee looks a bit of a mess really with one huge scar down the middle and now 5 little cuts around it.

I hate 4 am. Hate all the ams, really.

Um, with the ear thing. That happened to me this summer. Try pulling down the part that has the earring hole down will titlting your head. If not, (and it didn't work for me,) when I got mine out it was cuz I was jumping on a trampoline and I tilted my head to the side with the plugged up ear. Hope that helps.

And I'm glad you're good from your surgery :)

love you.

(P.S. My word verification is 'mates'. I don't think I have to explain that.)

I'm so glad it went well! :)
I love heated blankets too. :P

4 am! Omg. I can't even bring myself to take a shower at seven.

Riley needs to stop being so.. stupid.

I hate anything that has to do with my ears. Infections and stuff. Ugh. :(
Well I'm sure you've already tried popping it (Plugging your nose, and breathing out), and there's nothing else I can think of.
Sorry.
Hope it gets better soon.
Love you! xxx

i think you may just have to wait, with regards to the ear. or, just go up somewhere where your ears go blocked and pop and then come down, and see if they unpop completely.

and new blog. www.holst-mars.blogspot.com

love you xxxxx
