So here we go again. I had my seventh surgery yesterday! Yay! Turns out that I don’t get a free turkey or anything. Damn. I feel bad that I know the staff at the surgery center as well as I do. They are all really nice but I’m sure they’re tired of seeing me. I’m tired of seeing me and I’m me.
I go to see an infectious disease doctor this Wednesday to find out exactly what I need to do to beat this staph infection. He is also the chief of staff at Mercy hospital. I guess that would make him the chief of STAPH! SNAP! I still got it.
At this point I am quite concerned with my situation. The abscesses that have formed on my legs are a result of the staph infection I have. The one I had surgery for earlier in the week got to be about the size of a baseball in little under twenty-four hours. The problem is that with staph infections, abscesses can form on the heart and in the lungs. That means that if one forms in my heart or lungs then I probably don’t have much time to be on this Earth at that point. I hope that doesn’t happen but there is a chance that it could.
I hope that I live long enough to accomplish certain things. I know that it is selfish to use this time to talk about those things but I really am not too concerned about that right now. I would like to know that I’ve made anyone happy. I would like to watch the kids I don’t have yet grow up and become more successful than me. That shouldn’t be too hard. That’s like falling off a log. A super fantsatic log made of failure and apathy.
I would like to have a job doing something that I love. That’s about it. Oh, and a woman who ‘gets’ me.
In reality I don’t have dreams that are too lofty. Maybe that’s because I left out the part about world domination, being on SNL and having billions of dollars.
I have to go now as I am in pain. Sorry amigos y amigas.
