Hey there! I am back online, I'll have you a post by tonight (I hope). I'm finally settled back home, went to the appointments I had lined up, did my laundry, went to the store and am back dealing with school stuff before it starts. But I am glad to be back and I hope the issue with the doctor is resolved, otherwise I'll go mail them a pack of tracker jackers. ^^;

:D *many hugs because I missed you omg* Glad you're settled back in. I actually got a call from both doctors today. Bad news is that I DO have to wait a month to see the specialist, but my x-rays came back with dysplasia and no arthritis/breaks! And they're finally throwing surgery around, so I just have to wait and see. I'm very happy right now, haha.

No rush to post, btw c: I have stuff to catch up on myself.

Thank you! *hugs all the hugs back* ^^

The wait will fly by I hope. I mean by the time you go, I'll be in school. Wait that doesn't help...erm but I am glad you're in better spirits! At least you had no arthritis stuffs which I hope lasts a while. So the surgery would fix what? (I haven't watched HOUSE in ages hah) I assume it would do something better since maybe you're healthy enough for it~?

I'm glad you're feeling better though, less discomfort and more awesomeness yo.

Yeah, either arthroscopy(?) or this thing where they cut into the pelvis and manually re-position everything with screws, but it's better than having to have a total hip replacement in my twenties. And since there's, somehow, no damage from arthritis, I think I can have either surgery without a problem. I'm so ready to get this over and done with and go back to work, or go back to school. Something where I'm not here all day.

And I see a post, so I'll get you something soon c: I'm still playing catch up with these other 1x1s.

Oh that sounds familiar. I hope it does help though, it sounds risky but the reward would also be pretty good too. Hip replacement I think isn't as bad as ankle and knee but either way I do think it would be difficult and painful and a lot of PT so if you can avoid, that's pretty awesome. Yes, come back to the real world with me, it's not as bad as it seems *laughs*

And yes there is a postie for ya! <3 Daylight has come and they wanna go hooome~

There's risk to every surgery, but I've heard both of those are pretty safe. Either way, I don't care as long as it stops hurting because I really can't take it anymore. The problem with a replacement is that they wear out and that they're much more likely to dislocate, and since I'm only 23, I'd have to have another replacement somewhere down the road if that option was even on the table. Preservation means I can get back to normal and not worry about being careful because it's still my bones.

Sucks to be them, they're going to be stuck there for a minute >__>

Oh yeah the replacements do wear out, you're right. You'd just have to get it again and that's more money and more stress and everything else you don't need. Doing one surgery rather than one plus a possible second later makes no sense. I hope you can do something proactive so you can get back to doing more things and feeling a lot less pain. That would be a great treat. :3

Several long long looong minutes. I'm kind of sorry but kind of not.

I'm just really happy that there's no damage in the joint because with how bad it's hurt for the last year, I was sure that it was a mess of arthritis and inflammation. Like, I don't even care that I have to wait a month now, there's actual progress and I can't complain.

I don't feel bad, haha. Everyone has to suffer for their happiness. When everything is done, they'll all be so much closer <3

That's super good news! Just don't push yourself too much now, even with the positive prognosis. Small steps and what not. Hopefully the guy you're going to see will have more good news for ya though or give you a good direction to look forward to.

We have drama coming up, it'll break mah heart. </3 But they will make up and unite to fucking BRING. SNOW. DOWN.

Wow, I had an unexpectedly busy weekend D: How are you?

I hope busy was good at least. ^^;

I'm gooood, how about you~?

It was alright, haha. I'm hoping to take it easier this weekend, though. And it's like, nasty hot again this week, so I'm trying my best to stay inside. But I'm good c: How about you?

Did we ever decide on mutts for the field, or just traps?

Slow weekends are good to have, especially after more hectic ones. Ew, really hot? At least summer is almost over but it might not be as "over" around where you are which sounds awful. >__< Staying indoors is the way to go, in any case though, no bugs or killers at least. I've been good, getting ready for classes.

I think we decided on mutts, wild fires and maybe a few traps. I'm not sure if we also agreed on tracker jackers in the area as well but they can totes make an appearance. ^^ But I think whatever suits the mood can be fun~

It was "over" last week. It was in the 60s and I was very happy but now it's like in the upper 80s and low 90s again and I'm annoyed. I want sweater weather, already. That's good, though c: Are you taking less this time?

Yeah, I knew we had wild fires but I wasn't sure if we came up with a specific kind of mutt. I'm pretty much all caught up, so I can get you something tonight for sure.

Seesh, that's lame. I hate when weather cools down and then jacks itself up again. I love fall, the clothes are super cozy and it makes drinking tea feel much better. <3 I am taking about the same as last time (3 classes) but for winter's semester I will try to take four classes again, damn upper general ed requirements. >___<

I don't think we were too specific with the mutts, I'm cool with whatever comes up though. And good, I'm happy to get a post from ya. Is the pain a little more managed now? And tomorrow I have someone coming over to fix the internet since our speed is like 1/75'th of what we should be getting...fucking xfinity/comcast, we're going back to AT&T even if it costs more. So I should be on tomorrow when that's all cleared up (just in case I can't do something tonight) :3

You got everything cleared up from last time right? So you're good to go now? c: And right? I miss hot tea but I'm waiting for hot apple cider and sugar cinnamon donuts. Fall is the best.

Alright. I was thinking some kind of plains animal that we just make ultra creepy or something? I love a good monster, haha. And kind of but not really? I feel like my leg is dead today with how humid it is, but I've also been taking a ton of the Motrin they gave me rather than my actual pain meds and I guess that's not good either because they can really tear up your stomach. So now I'm just trying to tough it out. I have the heating pad and the AC going, lmao. I can't wait to go back to the doctor, omg.

Wow, that sucks D: is something in the way or was it just set up wrong? I have AT&T and I agree, they're really expensive but they also have really shitty customer service. There's not too many alternatives where I live, though.

Yep, things are cleared up now. I just gotta make sure I'm on track since I've been a lot of focus on major requirements. It's like they never want you to leave, always give you something to do to graduate. Mmm apple cider sounds so nice. Sugar cinnamon donuts? Damn that sounds good too. I know I can make butternut squash soup now but in the fall...it tastes so much better. And you get the leaves, depending on your location eheh.

You made me think of a giant rat, for some reason lol But yeah if you wanna make an original monster, you go for it girl. Don't pain meds also leave you a little constipated? That might be antibiotics though. Either way, I hope the meds don't give you too bad of side effects. Thankfully my gums are healthy and my blood pressure is back down, managing your body is tricky work and I'm sure it's even tricker for you. :/ But yeah, be careful about the stomach stuff, my brother got hooked on pain meds and his stomach is forever ruined and it's BAD. Stay in doors and just look forward to the next appointment~

Nothing is in the way. I'm sitting right in front of it and it's still really slow. My dad's office isn't too far but he gets even less than 1, it's like .0134 or something of a speed...and he works from home so he can't deal with that. We used to have comcast ages ago and they were fine but now? God, it's all our area offers too. I'm hoping AT&T fixes the issue because all xfinity said we could do was go to Best Buy to get a wireless booster...like...why the frick should we pay to fix your problem that we're still paying for? It makes NO sense to me. O_o

They want your money, haha. That's why you can't leave. But yeah, do you guys have cider mills out there? There's one by me that my friends and I just love and you can go and pick apples and then get little donuts rolled in cinnamon and sugar and it's really great. Fall is really just the ideal time for everything and yes <3 the leaves too.

They can, especially the narcotic ones. It blocks pain signals but it also slows down the signal in your colon (I think?) so things tend to move more slowly. But I was talking about the damage that NSAIDS can do to your stomach lining. And addiction runs in my family on my dad's side, so I tend to avoid pretty much every kind of pill even if it's just stuff you can't get addicted to. It's a weird complex, I guess.

Whyyy do these companies always want you to go to Best Buy and get something that isn't going to work? I used to have a speed problem with AT&T and it took so many phone calls to get them to come out here and fix it that I was eventually eligible to join some kind of lawsuit against them. But now they're fine, just expensive. It's pretty much only AT&T and Comcast in our area too, though. It's lame.

Cider mill? Not around here but probably up north we do. Those sound super quaint. We have apple orchids and berry farms but your place sounds a lot better and old timey, which makes it super awesome. Fall over there sounds super nice. Do you guys go to any corn mazes? We have some out here and those are fun, the food is good too.

Once your stomach lining is worn out, I don't think there's hope of restoring it. It's good that you're careful though. At least you're aware of what could happen. ^^

The way big companies can bully people and create certain monopolies is just tragic. Then they can provide shit service because there's no one else to really go to. You'd think America would be all for tons of companies competing and offering different deals, than just one or two lurking around. At least AT&T is better now.

It really is. There's a lot of orchards around here and up north. We do the cherry festival and that's pretty fun and there's also some really nice wine. But yes, we have corn mazes for most of the fall, there's a huge one not that far from me and it's next to this really big and elaborate haunted house c:

Yeah, I don't think there's anything you can do once you get like ulcers and bleeding. Even OTC stuff can do a lot of damage, so I'm always really wary of what I take and I'm a horrible patient because I don't take my medication as much as I should, haha.

I thought there were laws against that? There's another company here, called Wide Open West but I don't know many people who have them. And I think AT&T just partnered with Direct TV and that's pretty much the only satellite you can get around here besides Comcast or Dish.
