Fucked up form the neck up…
16 years ago
Hi all… Meant to update you all on my status earlier, but tings being what they are made it difficult.
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who has Called, texted, noted, and I’M’ed me well wishes. That was very nice of you all and sweet to think of me ☺
Though in reading all those notes, and as Fen pointed out to me today, I should probably be a bit more clear about what exactly happened to me. Given that its 13 past 3am, and im dizzy as hell form 3 days of not eating I will attempt to be presise in my words XD
The short of it, is that when I contracted Mono early this year, my tonsils (which have had a LONG history of given me a sore throat) basically died… the organ that acts as a filter just gave up the ghost and instead of fighting bacteria and viruses, decided it was going to produce Streptococcal. Now this happened at the START of 2009, but given how fucked out medical system is, I was basically forced into this Holding pattern to see what to do about it… It wasn’t till a few months ago that I became tired, week, swollen in the neck, and had a growth in the back of my throat that forced the medical profession to act on what should have been done LONG ago. Blood work would also revile that the Strep was now in my blood and at levels that could harm my heart values and liver…
A date was set Tuesday the 13th on a nice rainy morning. I drove the one block with my mom to the surgery center… I was told that dude to the existent of the infection, the growth, and the aria that was going to be affected by this procedure, that the would have to BURN out the Tonsils… That this method would leave me in a lot of pain for two weeks, and basically on a liquid diet for that time once could tolerate anything with more consistency than water.
When I feel a bit better, I will post another journal about the surgery itself.. bur for now. I just wanted to get the basics out and let you all know im ok.. Granted I have a 3rd degree burn the size of a golf ball in the back of my throat. My tough is still swollen and im sure the tongue piercing is gone now, and, for some fucked up reason I have a fat lip XD…
I will go into more detail later, but just know im ok and I thank each and every one of you for your notes.. Your all FAR to kind ☺ *gives a big round of muscle hugs*
The American (I assume it's American and not some other wacky country) health care system continues to terrify me. Get well soon!
After what you've been through, I can only wish you lots of care and help
how was i not in the know?
oh well, good luck any Mr. ... uhh I'm torn between "mr awesomesauce" and Mr Manlymanfullofman.
I didn't know you were growing an alien in your neck. Well hopefully you'll be alriight a few weeks from now.
Man, this is another reason where I hope you guys get an updated medical system... you should not have to be suffering through this type of thing for so long. *big four armed hugs*
Well, I'm happy to hear that they finally took care of it before any permanent damage was done. Even happier to hear that you are feeling better now too!
You rest up and take it easy and thanks for letting us know too!
They had to burn it out eh? Sory mate. Best wishes in your recovery.
I wish you recovery at godspeed, man.
Here's my <3 for not knowing of this.
Perhaps next time you get sick, find multiple doctors and get multiple opinions? Maybe the influence of many would be better than the one to get the work done that you would need, assuming anything CLOSE to this happens to you again, (Which hopefully not, of course. D: No one should suffer like that, at the hands of procrastinating doctors. ~_~)
Anyway, <3 Again.
I really wish you the best and at least you're on the road to recovery~
*Hugs to get better*
I hope you get well soon.
On the other hand, now that you have taken the laser like a man, your resistance vs. energy attacks should raise up a few points.
Here's to a speedy recovery! Don't over do it!
I knew you'd be alright [noogies] Let's go grab some slurpies dude.
make sure you do as the doctor tells you, I dont want anyone "going away for an indefinite period of time"
Take care now
I'd fuckin noogie you if I werent affraid of snapping your neck atm
