T-28 days before Spain

Sooooooooooooo..It's now August 31st! Tomorrow is September, and that means it's time for me to really start preparing for getting back to Spain.

Everyday I am changing my mind, not know what I should do, but I think I am going to go ahead and go. I don't know what's ahead of me if I make that decision, but maybe that's the best part about it. I like to be spontaneous on one end, and then on the other I am a lil scardy cat.

So this weekend I am going to Panama City beach with 7 other people. We are going to have a blast. I am so excited to be breaking free and having a good time. This has been a hectic summer, and with all the surgeries I didn't think everything would work out the way I had planned.


Soooooo I'm all over the place..wtvr. That's just me. I went to the doctor yesterday, and I was told by that my eye was healing phenomenally and that there will be no need for surgery in the future!! I was soooo happy to hear that. Even though I've spent possibly 25 hours + in and out of hospitals/doctors offices in the past month, I really liked the staff and I am glad they took good care of me and I am OVERJOYED that this whole process is over. While I was at my appointment yesterday, one of the employees asked me out on a date. I don't mind hanging out with any guys right now, but there really is no point in trying to get into anything serious when I am getting the hell out of dodge in 29 days. Not only out of state, but country too. I am not trying to be abroad holding on to something that's barely there.

Soo. when I get to Spain the true test of strength begins. New city, very small city at that. New everything. I will have no friends, so I'll have to start from scratch. This is kinda scary. I am hoping the people at the school like me and I like them. I am also hoping that I do a great job. I should probably start brushing up on my Spanish and English..haha! I know how it goes!

August 11th

So when I went to the follow-up for my first surgery, I was told I had to return for another one whack. This last surgery has left me with a gross black eye and I'm supposed to go out and have a good time this weekend. It's okay though, I am going to just put on some sunglasses and pretend it doesn't exist!

Day after corneal transplant

So yesterday I had eye surgery...:/ When I was born I had a cataract in my eye, and now 24 years later I had to get surgery to have the lens removed that was implanted in my eye at only 3 days old. Yesterday was the worst because I had to spend the entire day lying flat on my back so that my corneal transplant didn't move around. By the time nighttime came around my back was aching like never before. I think I've had enough lying down for a while! Jesus. Let me shut-up. As soon as I'm done working I'll be right back under the sheets.

Anyway so in total all my eyedrops were 107 dollars! That's really expensive, but I found out not too long after that it was very worth it. I put the eyedrops in and my eye cleared right up. Also the pressure I was feeling went away! :) I'm all smiles now.
