Rant Thread (add yours!)
Oh, I got a LIST! Thank you for asking.
1. My partner needs to NOT wait until I am exhausted and about to go to bed to mention that I need to clean up whatever in the house he feels is not clean enough. Because then I will have trouble sleeping because I will feel guilty, so I will end up getting up and cleaning in the middle of the night, and then I will be cranky and tired the next day. Please point out messes to me in the morning, not at night.
2. I want a new computer. I think I need a new computer. I am on my old one right now, so obviously it is useable... but the sound does not work, the mouse does not work and I hate that stupid touch pad on laptops, plus the right click button on that touch pad does not work so that means it is a big hassle to do things like use spellcheck and I need to be able to use spellcheck. One of these days I might get too fed up and throw this one and then I will REALLY need a new one.
3. My partner suggested putting a new one on my credit card. Um, sure... with the current balance, I could charge a new computer, as long as I could find one for less than $62. Sure, I'll do that.
4. It's hot. I hate being hot. We have window air conditioners and have not put them in for the summer yet. And it's hot.
I think there is more but that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
I guess this is not really a rant more like a how do you do it. I am 1 week away from my surgery and have been puton a liquid protien shake diet, i want food. I have to cook for my husband and it is so hard not to taste test everything. I really wish he were more supportive and maybe eat out this week but he says that he'll have to eat out next week while i'm in the hospital.

Mental health day for me today, so this just follows the theme of th day.
1- Teenagers. OMG I wish I could give them a pill/shot/smack upside the head to make them act like humans. Almost done with their junior year, and I seriously think their senior year is going to kill me! I want my house back! I want the kitchen to be as clean when I get up in the morning as it is when go to bed at night. I want the empty cereal boxes thrown away and I want them to stop fitting over who needs to go downstairs and get milk out of the frig.
2. Stupid bosses. I have very strong feelings about what a manager of people should do, and my current boss breaks all those rules. I get that there are things you cannot tell me. But say that! Don't freaking tell me what you know I want to hear and then do nothing! Oh. And then don't get pissy with me when I tell you, you have no credibility. Seriously, I deal with that with the teenagers. Which I kind of understand at 17, but a freaking 50 year old man should have some integrity! Hence the need for a mental health day, I am surrounded by this crap!

I am still a bit sleep deprived and so am a bit cranky because of that, but today has been FULL of annoyances!
1) I want to know why women who drive SUVs and mini-vans don't bother to REALLY look before they change lanes on the highway! For about the twentieth time in the 12 years that I have had my Prelude (which is a very low profile car and is black) a WOMAN (why is it never a man?!?) just came right over into my lane about taking off the front end of my car (which is no longer being made, and cannot be replaced if totalled, and the reasons that I have kept it so long and now only drive it on good weather days) News flash: not all of us drive giant vehicles... Please actually look to see if a small car or motorcycle is already in the lane that you want to be in BEFORE you change lanes!
2) I attempted to use my passport today as one of two forms of ID (along with my driver's license which was replaced 2 years ago, so has a picture of the thin me), and the idiot woman (again, a woman...!) would not accept it because the picture was taken at my highest weight and does not look like me. She did not care that I also had my Social Security card, my previous passport (where I am was heavier than I am now, but where the photo at least looks like me), a university picture ID, and a whole billfold full of credit cards and various membership or professional identification cards with my name on them. I finally INSISTED on waiting until her manager was available. The manager accept the passport when she saw that I also had my old one. But now I will probably have to pay to replace my passport if I need to use it before it expires in 2016!

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I should also add that today I am apparently even more annoyed than usual by doctors, nutritionists, and nurses who tell people that diet soda will stretch their pouches! There are very legitimate reasons for people to choose not to drink soda, yet rather than just be honest and let patients make their own informed decision, these "professionals" instead use the pouch stretching scare tactic! People, of course, believe it because it never occurs to them that a member of their bariatric team would give them false information. So these professionals are either just ignorant (and are "sheep" never questioninf the idea that carbonation will stretch the pouch) or they are intentionally using this as a scare tactic. Either way, it is disturbing.
I would drop my surgeon in a heartbeat if I ever found out that she used some stupid scare tactic instead of just telling me that, in her professional medical opinion, I should (or should not) do something!

This ain't a lame rant:
Why, oh why, is it that when I have a high volume of work to do in a short amount of time does the computer decide to lose its printer driver?
And why is it that I'm the only one who can figure out workarounds when the computer isn't working properly?
Oh.. and if someone comes in the office to sign something, and corrections need to be made, why am I the only one who can figure out how to change things so that the client only has to come in once?

I hate BB infections. I got them (stinky things) often preop, but very infrequently postop.
My beef is migraines. And Acne.
The shots to the head to deal with my migraines have done a LOT to lessen them, but I still get them way too frequently... nausea and excruciating pain and I hate it. AND I have to wonder if having steroids shot into my scalp has something to do with the worst case of acne I've EVER had in my life. Oh, to go back to the acne of being a teenager... that would be half what I'm putting up with now. I even have zits on my earlobes!

March 9, 2011 - Coccygectomy!
I chased my dreams, and my dreams, they caught me!
Here's my rant. I had my 3-month post op appointment today. I live in a rural area and had my surgery done at a hospital 2 hours away from my home. I made the two-hour trip to the hospital, where I was first seen by an aide who measured my weight, bp, pulse, and temp. Then I saw a nurse who went over all of my daily supplements and meds and asked me general questions about my diet and exercise. I never saw my surgeon. The total time of my visit was less than 10 minutes. I thought they would do blood work but the nurse said not until 6 months.
I drove 4 hours, took a half day off of work, and spent over $20 in gas for THAT?

I hope Im still able to rant today even though I missed this post yesterday lol...
My rant is that my husband appeared totally uninterested in sex before surgery. I even suggested it the night right before surgery and he was too tired.. so now that I've had surgery, he wants to have sex all of the time. Dude what? Im effin tired.. drained from surgery and also from not having any time off of work to heal -- I literally went right back to work and we have 2 small kids so I truly believe it will take me longer to heal than those who have time off.
Anyhow.. my husband claims its because he was working more OT before and now that it slowed down, he isnt that tired and wants to have sex often. Geez -- that would be fine if it wasnt right after my surgery.. but Im out of it and really not that interested in so much sex right now.
*sigh* I just hope that my energy returns soon!
