Hello!
Hey!
How's it going?
Pretty good! How are you on this fine Friday night?
Doing pretty well. Having fun watching my family learn how to waltz.
Wow that is pretty unique! Is this their first time?
For some of them. My mom learned how to when she was in school, and my sister is in ballroom. My brother has no clue what he's doing.
That's how it typically is! My sister was in ballroom and made me practice with her a few times even though I had no idea what was going on. They aren't letting you participate?
Haha my younger brother took some ballroom, but my older brother is so lost. On the contrary, it's self-inflicted. I have a foot awaiting surgery, so I'm trying to avoid doing things that will make it worse.
Yikes. Yeah that probably is a good idea. How did it break? (Or get in need of surgery)
I broke a little bone on the bottom a year and a half ago, and it's still bothering me. So they're going to remove the fragment that's causing the issues. Such a small thing, but it really makes a difference.
Oh for sure. I'm surprised the pain didn't force you to get it removed earlier. Was it not super infamed? Seems like for something like that even a little pressure would make a big difference.
It was, but it took three months for a doctor to figure out I even broke something in my foot. By the time they figured it out, it was not too bad. They hoped it would heal on its own. But the last few months it's gotten worse. Not intolerable, but annoying most days and troublesome occasionally.
Wow it must be tiny if the doc took that long to find anything. Our bodies can heal a lot on their own but not necessarily fragmented bone...
The bone itself is about the size of a child's fingernail. They considered surgery in the beginning, but I wanted to avoid it if I could. Mainly because I'm a coward.
I don't blame you surgery never sounds appealing... Are they doing after finals then? * performing the surgery
The reason is actually kind of dumb. I've never had general anesthetic, because the idea of having no control over what's going on scares me pretty bad. I didn't even go under when I got my wisdom teeth out. Yes. I have the pre-op appointment next week.
I had it when I got my wisdom teeth out and it wasn't horrible. I actually prefer it to laughing gas because once you come to you are back in control instead of still all -distorted
I didn't even do laughing gas. They just used a local anesthetic. I was never loopy or anything. Although I have to admit seeing the scalpel approaching my face freaked me it for a second. *out
Eww... I wouldn't want to hear and watch that
Haha yeah I stared at the ceiling and listened to the surgeon and his assistant's conversation.
Hopefully it wasn't like when you are getting your teeth cleaned and they try to chat with you while they have their hands in your mouth isn't*
Haha thank goodness, no. Although it was weird to have them talk about me like I wasn't even there. Haha
I guess they are probably use to most of their patients being unconcious during that part. Do you still have a lot to do before finals or have most of your classes winded down?
