Well...had my surgery today. Seems I actually severed the tendon completely, rather then just nicking it.


Weird...hope it doesn't mean I can't use my thumb any more. We'll see how therapy goes.

Anyway, I feel bad that I never responded to Gavin when he asked when/where my surgery was. I saw he had messaged me the night before, but of course I didn't see that until after surgery, when I checked my phone :X. Feel really bad about it, cause he was the only person who really offered to come see me, I had to ask Noah if he'd ask Suzy to bring him so they could visit me. Ugh, sometimes I feel like a bad friend :(

And Suzy and Noah said they'd come see me...but then Suzy texted me saying she had to work today. So she couldn't come, and therefore Noah couldn't come see me, since he has no car/license.

I'm getting kind of tired of not knowing until the last moment if the plans I've made with them are going to happen or not.

So it was just my mom and dad there when I went under and when I woke up. Which is good, I'm glad both of them were there.

Mom/Dad didn't say anything bout no one coming to see me, even though I both told them some people might. last week, I jokingly told dad that since my friends couldn't make it to Holland for the weekend, that I had "guilted them into visiting me after my surgery" and told my mom that my friends will get a hold of her through either my phone or hers, to find out where I was being treated, and when they should arrive, to see me.

I'm glad they didn't ask. I felt rather hurt that they weren't in the room when I woke up. But it's fine. Gavin could have been there, if I had bothered to check my stupid phone.


I hate hospital gowns. So hard to tie, even with one hand. My god damned ass hanging out of them while trying to put on my little booties for surgery...SO AWKWARD.


Kristina P at least texted me last night to ask me to tell her how my surgery would go. That's nice of her. She's a nice girl.

I might buy Jess Trail's car. She's offering it for $1800. 2 door 98 Monte Carlo, leather interior, cd player, 22 mpg/300 miles on a tank...sounds pretty nice right now. *only* 140K miles on it...bout what my car has...hope it's transmission won't give out soon.

I'll have $1000 saved up by tomorrow afternoon...my tentative plan right now is to go home Saturday afternoon, I figure I'll be able to drive by then, possibly get a ride out to her house to see/drive the car, and offer to put the $1000 I have down on it, and pay her $250 a week until the rest is paid off, which would be in 3.2 weeks (thank you calculator)...of course, the next few paychecks i'll be getting are going to be a bit lighter then usual...thanks to recent events...

but hopefully she'll agree to that payment plan, she said she'd prefer the $1800 upfront, cause she's going to use that as a down payment for her new car...but she's a friend, so she might be lenient. Hopefully.


I should really go to sleep. I'm not running tomorrow morning, but I still have to be at the office for 7:30...but I'm not really feeling the urge to sleep. I'm tired...I just don't want to sleep.


Since Dad drove me down for my appointments Wednesday afternoon, Aron drove me back up here around 7 or so this evening. He has to be back in Baroda before 2:45 pm, since he works Friday nights, so he'll be getting up when I do, to head home.

Here's hoping he doesn't get lost.

When we got here, we went out to Casey's Food and Spirits for some nomming. It took awhile to get service. But our waitress was damned fine.


horrible nasty, illegal things I would do to that woman.

and I'm not normally a fan of blondes. But DAMN.


anyway, yeah...I wanna go back to Ann Arbor...I mean, it's only been a little bit over a month since I left, but I miss my friends there. Neil, Bryce, Lauren, all really good people. I miss drinking too. Not in a like "omg i haven't had alcohol in ages, i'm dyinggg" kinda way, but i miss the social atmosphere associated with drinking with that lot. Also like to see Lauren's friend Amy again...meow

bahahaha. Fuck my whole hand hurts. I don't think these Tylenol Level 3s are working. I'll give it a day or two more, just in case it's like post surgery swelling or something...if it still hurts then, I'll ask the doctor for an upgrade

all though I'll feel sketchy asking for Vicoden. But to be fair, he did offer it first...

all well, I'ma try and sleep...hopefully by Sunday evening I'll have a new car, yaayy
