Staples out...

I said I would be back when I felt better. I lied. I'm back and I don't feel better. I'm in so much pain. I don't think anything is infected but everything sure as hell is irritated. I was told to take off the bandage on Saturday. I think that was a big mistake. Not because of healing but just because everything moved around less, was more protected and more padded.

I get my staples out today and I am hoping and praying and crossing everything I have that I can cross that the staples being out will take the pain away. I'm always in pain. I can't walk without pain. My pain meds take my pain level down to a 6 on a pain scale of 1 to 10. That's the best Vicoden is doing. Vicoden, you failed me. Failed me bad. You used to be so good to me. Those days are over aren't they? What did I do to cause this rift in our relationship? It used to be so good. I'd hurt and you'd soothe me, make me sleepy and take me off to la la land. Now I am your bitch and you nor anything else will never take the pain that I'm feeling. Oh Vicoden.... Vicoden, Vicoden, Vicoden. You are no longer the happy pill I used to know and love.

My mom and dad are in California. It is their first time to my Grandparents house since my Grandma died. I only have talked to my mom for a moment but I didn't get any details on how she is doing. I hope she is ok.

A few new purchases recently. I have a new keyboard because my old one was also a bitch to me. It would take 10k keystrokes to get 1 s or 1 d. Not to mention the backspace failed me as well. It just gave up on me. We all know that I desperately need my backspace. One day I will make an entry for you entirely not using the backspace key. You shall see how lucky you are that I do. So I love my Logitech MX 3100 something or other. I'd get the link for you but I'm too lazy. It also comes with a rechargeable mouse. Yay. No more batteries cutting out on me mid-task leaving me with a mouse that doesn't work and a panick of not even knowing if I have batteries in the house to replace them with. This mouse loves me. This mouse is polite. This mouse has little lights that tell me how charged it is. See how nice this mouse is? It also lets me know when it is done charging. Come home to mama little mouse.

Our second purchase was by far much bigger. We bought our very first couch! It's a sleeper sofa and normally those are so expensive but this was fairly priced and in a good mocha color to disguise dirt. It's comfy and soft and textured. It is being delivered on Wednesday. Yay! For those of you who don't know, the Hunk and I have loathed the couch we now have since the day we got it. However, it was free and beggars can't be chosers. We are no longer beggers. Ohhh no. We're spenders so we can be chosers. I haven't actually seen it yet, but the Hunk has and he is happy with it and he is far more picky than I am about these things. I'm picky about color and cuteness and he's picky about comfort and functionality. I trust him since I got the color I wanted. I know he held up his end of the deal.

The couch we are getting is called El Dorado. How approriate that that is the name of the favorite movie of the boys right now (Road to El Dorado) and the link (because I'm not too lazy to get this one) is here.

Ok, I'm hurting. I'm going to lay down and hurt some more. I'll be at the doc's by 3:30 p.m. today so keep your fingers crossed she doesn't tell me that something went horribly wrong and that I have to do this again or something. Yeah. That would suck.
