End of the year already? Long post.
9 years ago
Man it's been one hell of a year hasn't it? I mean just so much went on for so many people, good things and bad. But I hope for all of you that it was at least a good year. So I figure I'll go ahead and let everyone know what's up, and new with me. Some of you know me enough to know that for years I've had to deal with a gallbladder issue, from 2011-2012 they had misdiagnosed me until I had to go to the hospital for it. Then with medication it was stabilized.
That was till about 2 weeks ago now when it finally stopped working properly, I was at work, had taken a few customers and was starting to hurt worse and worse till it was to bad to take, I called my boss and driver manager, then took my cab back to the depo or "shop" as this company called it, and got in my wagon and went to the hospital. As soon as they put the wrist band on my arm they were taking me back into the screening rooms, and after about 5 to 10 minutes they had me hooked up to an IV, and were injecting me with 2 painkillers they said were "10x stronger then morphine" and a shot of morphine into me.
After falling asleep from the strength of it, I was woken up to the doctor wanting to talk to me, he was asking if I was still hurting, still in pain, which I was and told him so, so he had them admit me. Within no time they had me get in to a wheel chair, and they were ushering me away to the rooms, I mean I have never had such fast service from a hospital. On the 3rd floor the took me to a corner that had two rooms, they were going to put me in the room on the left, that the only view was a exhaust vent and the roof, no idea why there would be a window in the room, but after checking and finding out the other room was empty the put me in that one instead.
It was a much nicer room, still the same stuff that a admitted room normally has, but it had a really nice view, which was a nice thing to have, and the cool thing was that the window blinds were controlled by buttons on the bed, so I could shut them to keep the room dark if I wanted.
Anyway, within an hour of being admitted they had me sign forms, and were taking me off to the operating room, and this was on a Saturday no less, they really wanted to get this thing out of me, before I knew it I was on the operating table, and they were putting a mask on me, I remember them talking, and when they told me they started the gas, but I don't remember anything after that but waking up in my room, 5 new scars on my body. Next day I was released and went home to recover.
Anyway just figured I'd update all of you, ended up ranting, you all have a great holiday season, Merry Christmas, Ect ect. and lets hope for a better new year.
