Can I just say that I'm having one of the worst weeks ever?? I honestly just feel like venting..my blog is perfect for that :]
I try not to be a negative person..but I'm just honestly having a really bad week. Annnnd it's only Tuesday night.
On Sunday night, I severely hurt (probably broke..) my pinky toe..I did something really stupid and laughed for like 45 minutes afterwards..my husband has to watch his show on HBO "Game of Thrones" every Sunday night (I hate it-it's gross..I hope none of you enjoy it..if you do, sorry!) and he has to turn off every single light in our entire apartment so that there won't be a glare on our ginormous sized TV..so I'm fumbling around in the pitch black to find something and I run straight into the wall. Yep. Into the wall. I do this quite frequently, actually. If there were a secret camera in our apartment, you all would laugh at how many times I run into the wall or hit my arm on the wall or run into something. Because I don't pay attention. And I have really long arms, as do both of my brothers..and they are always swinging around hitting something or knocking something over..So anyway, my toe is purple and swollen and HURTING. I've been having someone at work tape it for the last 2 days so it's immobilized..but it still hurts..Okay I feel bad for saying how much I don't like Game of Thrones..maybe the storyline is good (my husband goes on and on about how much thought they put into it and it's the best show he's ever seen and blah blah blah..) but I think it's disgusting.
On Monday night, something way worse than me breaking my toe happened..my grandmother had a stroke..a "massive" stroke. I was crushed. I've never had anything really bad happen like this to someone I am so close to (besides my high school boyfriend who was in a horrible crash-about 5 years post-breakup). I love my maw maw so much and it was so hard for me to just stay home and wait to hear by mass text messaging what was going on. The only thing I could think about was some of my former stroke patients that I have treated..how hopeless they were..half of the time forgetting that one side of their bodies existed..babbling incoherent words..the completely hopeless look in their eyes. Thinking that my maw maw might be this way just killed me. Then I get a call from my sister in law saying that my grandmother can't speak, or move the right side of her body. Let's just say I prayed hard last night. Today my mom called me from Ochsner in New Orleans, where they sent my maw maw so that she would get the best care, and put me on the phone with maw maw. And she talked! And I could completely understand her. Speech a little slurred, but I was so happy. It may be a long (or short, hopefully) road to her recovery, but the fact that she is starting to make progress already makes me so happy. She has so much life left to live.
We also got a new therapist at my work this week..and I will just say that things have been..different. Change is always hard for me. I like to think that I can just go with it..but the truth is that when I get into a routine, I like it. I need it. It will take time to get used to..but guess I'm up for it!
To top it off..I finished watching Arrested Development today..I finally watched every episode in order and it is the best. I am so mad that it's over!
I think I'm done venting now..Off to ice my toe..
One of my trusted entertainment confidants told me that the story line in Game of Thrones is REALLY awesome. It looks pretty gross though. But what HBO show isnt?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry your having a horrible week. I hope your toe gets better and your maw maw is still in my prayers. Maybe you would like the books about Game of Thrones bc a friend of mine is reading them and he said he loves them. Maybe it could help you watch with Judah. And no worries bc this Sunday is the last episode of the season. I laughed really hard about you bumping into the walls and knocking stuff over too. So funny.
