一方水土养一方小鸟


昨天出差苏州,姑苏城的酷暑挑战了我的抗热极限,坐在空调不足的室内就是享受免费土耳其桑拿,站在太阳底下就是体验烤黑椒人肉串的滋味。好在东道主请我们中午在明楼午饭,让我燥热的心情能够暂时得到缓解。吃完饭我们正要步出餐馆时,听到头上有人嘀嘀咕咕,.我一抬头,一只龇着黄嘴,帔着一身黑色羽毛的八哥冲着刚出门的客人们略带腼腆地说:“我不要,我不要!”我问主人“请问,它不要啥”?餐馆主人笑着告诉我,这只八哥讲的是苏州话:“老板娘,老板娘,该买菜了!”。到底是个十分精明的鸟,不管它拿没拿过美国西太平洋大学的博士文凭,我都不会质疑,这位‘仁兄’精通餐饮管理,在这样的大热天里还不忘催促老板娘别忘了餐馆生意的细节。

GALLBLADDER SURGERY?!

Okay so I went to my new Dr. today and I knew that I would find out the results to my gallbladder test. I was kind of curious to what it would say because during the gallbladder test they give you medicine to make your gallbladder work and right when they gave it to me I got insanely sick feeling. Then they stopped the drip (it was through an IV) and it immediately got better. So that's why I figured something would be wrong. Anyways, sure enough I was right. My gallbladder isn't functioning right. So my dr. told me it was best to go ahead and take it out. Normally this wouldn't be good news for someone but for me.. it kinda is good news just because of the fact that my dr. told me it would most likely help all my symptoms! Which is amazing! We haven't scheduled a appointment yet but the surgeon is supposed to call me sometime to schedule it.

I'm still going to go to my therapist though just because I think it will be good for me. Especially when I go back to school.. because I tend to get stressed out about that really easily. & I go to my therapist tomorrow so we should see how that goes. He's supposed to start this thing called "biofeedback" on me tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie.. I'm kind of excited about it :)

I'm fighting the desire to text u.. I see you when I go to the bathroom and pass by your desk even if you think I'm not looking I want to invite you to see your daughter yet again even if u are going to say no as you have for 3 months All of this I want to do yet I don't because I know you'll tell your mom and shell say don't respond. I'm suffering because u told someone you love me yet you haven't told me. I'm suffering imagining who you've been with or who u are with right now. I'm suffering thinking that I causes this I messed up. What did I do wrong for you not to chase me. Don't you love me? U gave me 2penguins because they have 1 soul mate and u said I was Yours. Yet look at how u show me love. This is torture wondering if and when you'll ever come back

Not a wasted space

All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.

Adoption

What do I want? I have no clue.

Okay so my mom died when I was 12. I am now 16 going on 17 next month. & during this time period my grandparents got the rights to adopt me. But now that I am so sick I need better insurance and the only way to get good insurance is for my aunt and uncle to adopt me.

Don't get me wrong I love my aunt and uncle to death. I mean they are both like my mom and dad (literally). Even though my grandparents adopted me, i have been living with my aunt and uncle. (until i got sick, now im staying with my grandparents)

But now my aunt has been pushing for her to adopt me just so she can put me on her insurance so I can get better care. She has been talking about this for a while and I went along with it and thought I would be ok with it. .. until now

I think finally my grandparents agreed to give over the custody so that I could get better insurance. But it just breaks my heart that they are having to do that. I feel like they are being forced to give me up just for my health. I don't want things to change from the way they are now. I want them to stay the same. If I just knew that my grandparents are okay with it and everything would be fine, I would be perfectly happy. But I don't know that and thats what scares me.

I don't know what to do right now. I'm scared. I hate change.

CHEERLEADING

It was my life. I miss it so much. Is it normal for you to miss something alot and it was just a sport or hobby, club, ect.. ? I don't think so.

I didn't do it for the popularity, I did it for the friends that I would make on the squad and how fun it was and how happy it made me feel.

I feel like a coward now that I didn't try out this year because of how sick i've been. I even talked to the coach about it and she said she would have made special exceptions for me to cheer. I wish I would have given it more thought.. but if I could go back in time.. would I really even try out? I mean all the hours you had to spend, all the excerise, and how tough it was especially on me because of how sick I would get just to do a few cheers. I mean would it really have been worth it to go through with it for just one more year? My senior year?

Thats another thing.. "my senior year". I remember when I first made the squad my freshman year and how ecstatic I was. I remember telling my dad on the phone "I'm going to do this all four years of high school". Thats what makes me feel the most ashamed.. is that I didn't go through with�what I had said all this time.

When I first had to leave school because of how sick I had gotten.. all the cheerleaders went out and bought me presents and made me cards... & that made me cry.
It made me remember what I would be missing out on.. all the friends I had & all the time we spent together laughing and just being ourselves.

I'm going to miss cheerleading. Believe it or not.. that was one of the hardest decisions I had to make on whether or not to choose my health.. or what I loved doing the most.

soo sick...

Okay so today I had to wake up really early just to go get a gallbladder functioning test. They have to give you an IV though which hurt so bad, considering they had to stick my three times to finally get it it. Then they check to see if your gallbladder works.

But I woke up this morning feeling fine but once I started brushing my teeth, I got wayyy sick to my stomach :/

The whole car ride to the hospital was pure misery. I though I was going to get my grandpa to pull over a few times so I could throw up. But anyways, I made it all the way to the hospital w/o getting sick and I opened the door so I could get a little fresh air, which helped TONS.�

Once I get in the waiting room I started to feel sick again and all of the sudden I told my grandpa I was about to throw up and he ran and got the nearest trash can he could find. So I threw up in that. (how embarrassing)

Then I was called back to do the test and I was completely fine feeling but then once I got back in the waiting room, I had to throw up in the trash can again. :/

I finally made it back to the car and once I got in there, I started feeling sick again. But I did make it all the way back to my house but when I went inside, I had to throw up again so I had to runnnn to the bathroom.�

After that though, I haven't been sick since. I was given medicine to sleep and ease my stomach and I just woke up. So I slept all day.

Therapist Visits - #1

Okay so I have a therapist. My doctors recommended me one so
that I could "cope" with being sick. Especially since it's
been so long they said it's bound to take a toll on me
sometime. I always thought that going to a "counselor" means
that you have something wrong with you and that you have
emotional problems. So obviously as soon as they recommended
that I wasn't up for the idea of visiting a therapist once a
week for who knows how long. Last Friday was my first
appointment we had to travel about an hour and a half to
this certain expensive therapist my family wants me to see.
They just want to make sure that I get the best help
possible.

So for this entry I wanted to note about what the therapist
told me. Also I just want to say that I actually like my
therapist and I can't wait to go back to him next Friday.
(Which I will right about in another entry)

For this visit all he did was ask me a few questions and
gave me a technique to try while at home.

He made me realize that I tend to keep things inside and
don't share how im feeling. (which is partly why i decided
an online journal, also the reason I set it to public
because I felt if I kept it private, I would be defeating
the purpose of not keeping it inside).. Anyways back to the
my session, he made me realize that recently I just got to
where I don't even talk about being sick anymore. I don't
tell my family when I am hurting or when I feel sick. (I
will go more into detail about whats wrong with me in
another entry). I just keep it all to myself so half the
time they don't know how bad im feeling. He made me realize
that the reason I do this is because I feel it's pointless
now to even tell them... nothing they can do will make me
feel better, so why even tell them?

He went into more detail about what he could possibly do to
help my situation & ended the session with a breathing
technique to try at home 5 times a day for four seconds and
two breaths. (Just learn to breathe from your diaphragm
rather than your chest.)

Can't wait to talk to him in my next session.
