As of right now, I am almost done with my current semester at
DeVry. Starting on the 4th, I will be taking my last math class which is
Statistic for Decisions Making. I am going to be very happy once that class
ends because that would mean, “NO MORE MATH CLASS EVER AGAIN HERE AT DEVRY!!!!
As of right now, I've only gotten A’s with a few B’s, so I’m a happy lady.
This year hasn't been a good year so far.. and it’s only
February!! For some reason, I've been thinking a lot about my mom and dad *he’s
still alive*, and I’ve been in a depressed state for a while now because they
won’t leave my mind or dreams. My sisters planned that we should go to WV in
the middle of March when I was in the hospital couple weeks ago. It’s going to
be very unreal and nerve wrecking once I do see him. It’ll be the first time
I’ve seen him since 2004, but I’m excited. I hope I have enough money to pay my
portion for the tip. I think I will.
On Monday, February 4th, I started not feeling so well. I ate
some bad food, and I was really upset with a friend of mine *I shouldn’t have
been ‘cause I knew it was coming*, so my stomach was very upset and crampy. On
Tuesday, I was feeling better, but got that dull, recovery feeling, but I had
blood in my urine which usually means I have an infection or passing a kidney
stone. I wasn’t in too much pain, so I wasn’t worried about it. I walked my
happy butt to King Soopers and bought some stuff to help. On Wednesday, I was fine. I still had the dull pain, but there was no blood urine
or anything, so I thought, hey, whatever it was, it’s fine now. I took Ambien around 9pm, and then at 10, I started to hurt really bad and hard, and
I knew exactly what was going on. I took a bath to see if it’ll ease up. Then I
started puking, so I tried calling my sister, my baby sister, my two best
friends, my younger sister’s best friend to take me to the ER ‘cause I couldn’t
stop puking and I could not move. I had sharp pains going all over my lower
back, mainly my left side, and a little bit on my right. Since I couldn’t get
a hold of anybody, I wrote a post on Facebook begging to see if anybody was
awake and was able to take me. My friend, Sarah, saw it, she texted me, and her
and her girlfriend took me. I got there around 1am. My friends went home to get
some sleep. Didn’t take my vitals and blood until 3-3:30am, and by that time, I
was puking nonstop, crying, and seriously couldn’t move. They finally gave me
morphine and some kind of anti-nausea medicine, and was sent back out. At 4:30,
I was finally sent to the back to a room. The doctor came in and asked what I
thought what was going on. I told him that I’m pretty sure that I’m passing a
kidney stone because I’ve experienced this once before in Summer 2011, but it’s
a hella lot worse this time around. He said that I was correct ‘cause there was
blood in my urine and crystallizations, so he wanted me to get a cat scan
to see where it is, how big it is, and whatever else. I took the cat scan
around 5, and then I was starting to hurt again, so I got more medicine. The
results did not come back until 6:30. By that time, I was livid, I wanted to go
home, I was beyond tired, hurting, nauseated, and my sisters started texting me
to see what the hell was going on. He came back in said that I should be able
to pass it today *I don’t think I have yet*, but five days at the latest. It’s
5mm which is still small enough to pass on its own. If it was more than 6, I
would’ve been screwed. The first time I had it, it was 2mm, so it’s bigger this
time around hince the more pain. I also got UTI. They gave me Percocet and IB
Prophen for the pain, antibiotics for the UTI, and medicine to help pass the
stone. I got home around 8am. I had to walk to King Soopers to get my medicine
filled. I came home, ate, took the medicine, and went to bed. I was in a lot of
pain by the time I got home the second time, so it took me a while to fall
asleep. Of course, when I woke up, I was puking like no tomorrow. I was
thinking at the time that I was getting all that drugs out of my system. I went
back to the ER on Friday afternoon. They pain was so unbearable to the point I
couldn’t inhale and exhales without being in major pain. I took the cab since I
was not going to try to find a ride around 4pm. I was finally admitted around 11pm. I had
surgery at 1pm the next day, *Saturday* to see if they can laser *blast* my kidney
stone, and put a stent in to make things go easier. I guess it got my kidney
stone out, just have to deal with a stent for a few days, and recovery pain. I
was released from the hospital that night, but was told that I will having a
stent in for at least two more day. Boy did that make my life a living hell. I
was in major pain until around Wednesday. I got the stent out of my system by
Monday evening, but I still had left back spasms every now and then. That crap
hurt!! It wasn’t sharp, but dull intensified by a million with the throbbing to
make it worse. I am almost back to normal. My body is still sensitive, but then
again, it went through hell and back in less than a week.
I found out the other day that somebody in Texas used my SSN to
file for taxes.. and they got a refund. My baby sister and her best friend came
over to figure out what the hell was going on, and to get a PIN or AGI so I can
file my taxes this year. It didn't work, so I had to send out my
taxes by mail which is stupid, because I want my money!! My younger sister, my
baby sister, and I are planning on visiting my Father in West Virginia for
Spring Break. It would be the best time to go before my younger sister gets too
pregnant to go anywhere. The refund is the EXACT amount I need to pay my part
of the vacation. It’s only February, and it hasn’t been a good year so far. We
got transferred over to Identity Theft when we learned that somebody else used
my SSN. I’m nervous about everything because I can’t do anything at the moment,
and they are starting up an internal investigation. They have the Texas address
on file! I haven’t noticed anything wrong with my credit report, so that’s
good. I have a feeling, but not a horrible feeling, so that’s keeping me calm
for now. My baby sister asked if anybody else has tried to file again this
year, and thankfully the answer was no. I’m hoping that everything is fine, and
I don’t really have to worry about anything. I’m crossing my fingers!! I pulled
up my Credit Report and everybody looks fine. I e-mailed my Housing Authority
chick, and she says that no employment activity has been alerted by using my
SSN which makes me feel a little bit better. I wrote a letter to my Food stamps/Medicaid
to let them know what was going on. One of these days, my baby sister will be taking
me to the SS office, so I can talk to somebody personally to see what I need to
be doing next. So hopefully nothing went wrong, but I’m not holding my breath
until somebody tells me that everything is okay. I had to mail in my tax return
for them to accept it, and go from there.
