Update from Gus:
She's awake and well, but the meds make her a little dizzy and the computer screen is making her nauseous, so she won't be around until she's feeling more up to it.
Fincayra,
I know you would/will. <3 Though I'd probably wait if you'd only be renewing it to play with me. As I'm not sure how long I'll be with internet at this point. But I look forward to playing with you when we get the chance to!
Hey, it's really good to hear that you're doing ok... or at least, on the mend. I hope the other surgery goes just as well for you too (minus the after-pain). I myself will be having surgery this Christmas, is it scary? XD I'm terrified of hospitals, I get butterflies in my stomach even just by driving past. So I'm extra scared about surgery. o_O Although, I'll be asleep, yay.
Maybe Starling will see Gust again some time in the future. It's been a loooong time since she visited him. His company was always enjoyable though. <3
Sorry to hear you have to get surgery too. :/ What are you getting done? If you don't mind my asking.
And I guess it's not so much 'scary' for me as it is me just dreading it. (Though I have mild anxiety attacks the night before because I tend to numb myself to it until then.) Truthfully the worse part for me is the IVs (I'm a hard stick and so they poke me a billion times and I bruise up badly) and the pain meds. Besides having a hard time swallowing pills (I literally choke them down by forcing myself to take them) I don't do well with them. I avoid taking meds when I can so when I HAVE to take them I have no tolerance for them and they affect me strongly. I also don't like "going under" as I have issues with the thought of not being able to wake up. Though I guess I'm at the point of getting use to it as every few years it's something else they need to knock me out for. :/ In other words I'm just one big baby. XD I do better with pain then I do with the listed above.
Ah ;-; I've never really had to take any medication, so I have yet to see how I cope with that. XD It's just to have some teeth taken out the roof of my mouth which never grew out, and then after a 2 year process of braces I will need jaw surgery. I'll be on a liquid diet after that one, but that's a while to come yet. XD Don't worry, I feel like "just one big baby" too. My last visit to the Hospital, I only went to look around the ward at which I'd be staying and I freaked out and started crying LOL. It was... embarrassing. Not sure if that is just me being a baby or anxiety or something, I don't know. Not really sure what is classed as anxiety but I certainly freak a hell of a lot out on hospital visits. I just try my best to hide it because for some reason, people trying to comfort me just upsets me. :DD Yeah my brain works in weird ways.
I can't even imagine what the pain will be like after-surgery, although it won't be too bad thankfully(??) as my mouth will be numb for a few days. The surgeon's said there is a risk of that being permanent, but the chances are low... But I think I'll be much happier when I'm home. Then my parents will be my slaves for a few weeks. Whoo! Sorry to hear you're having surgery so often every few years. :< Luckily mine's only 2 times, at least for now. I don't know anyone who's ever had surgery, so it's somehow comforting talking to someone who has? So, thankyou, I guess! XD <3
Ew, yah that doesn't sound fun. Luckily I've never had much done to my mouth. I only was born with one wisdom tooth and it's never gave me trouble. I've had braces and my jaw "widened" because supposedly my mouth was "too small". But that wasn't surgical. My brother had his wisdom teeth taken out though. They'll probably give you some heavy pain killers which will make you sleep for a couple of days too (on top of the after affects of anesthesia). That's what they did with him. Are you saying the numbness has a low chance of being permanent?
Sounds to me like you have a mild phobia of hospitals. And on top of that stress and anxiety from knowing what needs to be done. Just let the doctors/nurses know that you're feeling that way. If you have good staff they'll be understanding. And if it starts to become overwhelming you might want to see about medication to help with it. I have very "mild" anxiety. I call it that because I can pretty much manage my attacks. But if it starts overpowering you yah might want to get a bit of extra help.
Before surgery isn't so bad. The worse part is just the waiting. Though even if they have you all set up don't be afraid to say you have to go to the bathroom. Because it is a bit harder to go right after surgery and still in/out of anesthesia. So go while you can and it's easy. XD
After surgery it's annoying because you're coming out of anesthesia and can't really 'stay awake'. You'll be having someone help you get where ever. To the car if you're going straight home after. From there you'll be in and out of sleep a lot. I was kinda bad getting on the computer that night and the day after my hand surgery. With my knees I guess they put me in a deeper sleep / stronger stuff because I was out a lot more and longer for a few days.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me or if you want to just talk about how you're feeling you are more then welcome to talk to me. <3 Like I said I've never had my mouth done so I don't know the details there but I'll help where I can. ^^
Yeah, low chance of me not being able to feel below my nose/above my lips again (I forget what the area's called) XD.
Eeeek, yeah, I'll try and make that clear to the doctors/surgeons around me. Medication sounds good, if it helps. Seriously I would take anything to stop me from being so... emotional and panicky in the Hospital. Although I think I hide it well, which is a problem. Maybe, just maybe being more of a drama queen will make it more obvious to my family and then maybe they'll try and do something about it... XD This might sound stupid, but I think I'm more worried about the idea of getting majorly upset in front of doctors/surgeons, rather than the surgery itself. I so badly want to just be able to go into that Hospital and not give a crap about anything. :'D even the thought is making me grin.
Thankyou so much, you have no idea how much better that's made me feel. In fact, if I ever do started stressing over it again, I'll just come back here and read what you've written. It's really made me feel a lot happier! And thanks for the tip! XD I had a mini panic in my head a few weeks ago thinking "oh god remember to USE THE TOILET before", and I hadn't even put into mind the fact that I'd be sleepy after surgery. Haha! Luckily I have a strong bladder, so I'll go before and last a long while. :')
I can understand that. Because I don't like getting upset in front of anyone myself. Which when I do I get even more upset. lol At the same time though even though I try and smother it I get annoyed when people don't understand I'm upset when I have it buried and wont give me some space. Maybe we're both just crazy. : P Haha
Well, I'm glad I could help you feel better. : )
And you're lucky. I'll go then have to go again an hour later. >:I
Also don't be surprised if you feel a little nauseous because of the anesthesia. It affects me that way. If you're feeling a bit sick after - once you get home have someone help you put a pillow under your legs to help elevate them a bit. It really does help. Most people don't get sick from it though so you might not get that affect.
You're welcome to add me to Skype too if you want/need to talk.
I used to play Wow before Mists and Cataclysm , But since I moved out of my folks house my dad kind took over all my characters and has the account to him self. >: I'd love to play again. Maybe I'll have to some time. I'm currently into Guildwars 2 because of the lack of subscription fee. one time pay for an mmo is kinda nice ;; Maybe sometime when My job is more stead and I finally have a gaming rig built I might get me WoW again. But hey If you ever get into guildwars 2 I'd tottally play with ya XD Good luck with the hand though doesnt sound very fun >:
Viral,
My brother mentioned Guildwars. But I'm not sure if I'll play it. But if I do I'll poke yah.
And I realized, did that poctogram change hands again? I'm surprised! I've always loved that picto' back when the first owner had it. Reminds me of a hat. XD
;w; I've had it for a good While.I'm just using it as my main blogger account i've swapped so many names, but I quite like this one. Got this picto from Kitrako a while ago. I know there is one that belonged to Qaud's Blixt that has recently swapped hands. But this pictos been Abigale picto for about.. i think a year now ^^
I used to be on clockworkc , and before the Leveled. But yes the hat pictos are my favorite ;w; ♥
Agreeing with everything you wrote. Well put. Don't see why this was blown up to such epic proportions in the first place; Thrage was entitled to his own opinions. What's regrettable is the fact he was in a position of responsibility where such a controversial mindset would earn him serious backlash.
Adding that I am bisexual, or at the very least bicurious. That said, I would not date a Transgender, but does that mean I hate them? Absolutely not. It is my own preference, just as Thrage stated his own, albeit my admittance is far less crude. I prefer men because they're who I feel the most comfortable dating, but I can't deny I've glanced at women I find attractive and I've fantasized being with one. There are even some hot androgynous/Transgendered people. But because of my personal beliefs, I will only ever date men - it's my choice despite my feelings of attraction to women, as well. That's just who I am and I'm not afraid to state my preferences and who I will and won't date. Whether they'll admit it or not, everyone has standards and I think the majority don't want to lay that open for fear of offending someone, or they just want to be assholes pretending to 'defend' the LGBT community.
Nuuuu! Always sad to see you go :[ You and your characters will be greatly missed. I hope things get better soon and you can have interwebs back forever. XO
:C we missed youuu
we missed youuu
