Viewer Discretion Advised

I should be working right now but I wanted to post the post-bandage picture for all those who were interested. If no one is interested just don't tell me cause I like to think people are. It's less gross looking the more you look at it.



Also, as a side note, now that Amy has a boyfriend she likes to hang out with I'm more available for things such as helping eat other people's food, watching TV and/or movies, going places such as shopping (window mostly till the deductible is paid off), and babysitting. Any takers let me know.

Stitches Itch

Just in case you didn't know, stitches itch. It's not a good thing. Also, I'm not really all that smart sometimes (sometimes I'm a genius). I was wondering the other day why my fingers have almost back to normal range of motion but my thumb really doesn't. I can't put very much pressure on it or it kills. I'm such a dork, the surgeon cut the ligament (sp)!! That was the whole point of the surgery.
It's getting better but typing all day at work, which was a major contributor to need thing the the operation in the first place, puts pressure and therefore pain and itchyness in the incision. I should just not have to work. Anyone with ideas on how I can afford to not work please let me know.

ps. Is there a spell check on blogs?

I survived

I promised to post pictures of my bandaged hand so here you go. This is a short post because its hard to type with just one hand.

Front view

My fingers are a bit swollen but the surgeon said that would probably happen.

I have to thank my wonderful friends Kelsey and Amy for taking such good care of me, you guys are the best friends a girl could have!!

Surgery

I can never really spell that word right which means I shouldn't have to have it right? I guess not. I'm having Carpal Tunnel Surgery tomorrow morning. It's apparently a good one to start with if you've never had surgery before, at least according to the scheduling lady.
I'll post pictures of my bandaged hand so you all (whoever you all is) can feel sorry for me. My wonderful and amazing friend Kelsey is taking me to the clinic and is gonna babysit me after so I don't do anything weird. Who knows how the fun pain meds will effect me, last time I took anything stronger than Ibuprofen i couldn't stand up straight.
That's all for now. I'm writing this at work because there isn't anything to do right now and I figured if I was typing they'd think I was working on work stuff.

Thanks for Graduating!

Kelsey's sister Catherine graduated from High School and was down in Provo for General Conference so her sisters decided to have a Surprise Graduation Party for her. It was a fun excuse for everyone to get together while all the guys were at the Priesthood session. They decided to have 80s glamor shots, here's some of the fun photos.

Amy Rae....fur shure!!

Me in my 80's glory

Trying to be a rocker chick


Kelsey's Mom


Kelsey's dad thought she looked more like a Geisha than an 80's girl.......oh well.


Catherine and her friend Aimee

Elizabeth......I think she looks the most authentic

It was a fun night, we had pizza and cake and had lots of fun, thanks ladies for letting me be a part of it.

You wanna know what's not ok.....?

When you have bad heartburn so you when you get home from work you take some Tums hoping to feel better. You wait patiently for it to start working then not only do you have the bad heartburn you then feel super nauseated! :( It turns out that Tums has milk it in! In case you didn't know, milk and I, not such good friends.
I just had to share that with someone.
