*Growls deeply* I just wasted a whole ******** hour coding and making graphics for a profile for one of my mule accounts and Gaia decides to be an a** NOT LET IT SHOW UP EVEN THOUGH I HAVE IT SET ON CUSTOM AND OLD SCHOOL SETTINGS! GOD DAMN IT!

waste of my god damn time...



I'm fed up..I might take a break from this ******** site. Like anyone would miss me anyways.

Excuse my language..but I'm really pissed off and frusrated right now.

Kakky, things happen. Taking a break might help but remember, we're here for you.

O.O wow, you actually got to have some maggot treatment. I just find it amazing that maggots and leaches have become to be very helpful tools in present day medical science. I mean we have tiny little lasers to patch holes in veins, but we still can't compare to the healing abilites that maggots can offer when healing some wounds. whee

Yeah. Nature's way is the best way, I belive. as far as the sensation was,and how to duplicate it is simple. Take a peice of jello, and tape it on your arm, and relax your arm. proceed to press and tap lightly on said jello. Its the icky feeling, but worse is you know its eating your flesh; good or bad for you!

I've just had another breakdown.... it's basically daily..... why am I still here?

Hey, if you need someone to talk to, I'm on like every day. You can just talk to me inbetween therapy visits, and I might actually know something from my psych. classes...at the very least I can lend a sympathetic ear.

Plenty of people would miss you. I don't know anything about coding and such, but have you tried the new settings? Also, I don't think it's all Gaia that's causing your distress...you seem easily frustrated about other things too, like DA. Makes me wonder if there's something else bothering you.

Now onto my issue...my whole neck and shoulders hurt so bad I didn't go to class this morning. I can't even turn my head, so I didn't feel that driving would be safe and didn't want to move from my bed. Erf, I don't know what I did...if it's my bed, my pillows, the way I slept, how I sit propped up against my wall when I use my laptop....Mom couldn't find a knot either so I dunno what the hell is wrong. It hurts so bad...the whole left side of my neck and shoulder hurts the worst. Took Advil, but mom says go to the doctor...but I say no thanks. Every time I go in the doctor basically is all ":: pokepoke:: Hm, I dunno what's wrong go see a specialist." Except the specialist doesn't know what's wrong either so I end up wasting time and money. Well, except once, the specialist actually knew something. But I don't think that doctor would be able to help this time.

So i had medical MAGGOTS put on the wounds. ew. Just..ew.

I'd rather endure maggots than go through sepsis again. Knowing there's something that's taking care of the dead tissue before it can start to rot is better than worrying about whether and when blood poisoning will set in.

Manda-Tifa -- that doctor who would just draw a circle and bandage it sucks. The way you treat abcesses is by opening them (neatly) and draining them while using antibiotics to keep the infection from spreading.

Also, some people find it helpful before having painful procedures done (whether tooth extraction or abcess drainage or whatever) to take a couple of aspirin or ibuprofen half an hour beforehand. Of course it still hurts. But it hurts a little less.

Lastly, I don't know how much it costs since I never buy any for myself, but you can get a small tube or bottle of benzocaine or lidocaine cream at most pharmacies without a prescription. I use lidocaine as an anaesthetic with my birds and it seems to work. Since I work for an institutional lab, the price we pay doesn't reflect market prices.

Um...I had an abcess (sp?) on my back that bugged the living hell out of me for about a week...it finally popped/drained on Sunday. A coworker drained most of it for me (which was about 20 minutes of her pushing on my back and me screaming in pain in the back office while guests checked in up front wondering what the hell was going on.... sweatdrop ). They told me to see a doctor, so I did on Monday. I hate regretting things, but that was a big waste of time. For one, the doctor HURT ME!!! (Okay, I know it had to be done, but still!) But the only difference between the doctor and Latasha was the doctor drews a big circle around it, slapped a bigger bandaid on it, and charged me an arm and a leg (I'm uninsured...I shudder to think what the bill is gonna look like...I haven't got it yet.... stare )

BUT on the bright side, it's healing....What once was a big swollen boil about the size of a golf-ball that stuck out about full inch from the rest of my back is now a tiny little hole surrounded by a bruise. The itching is supposedly a good thing; means that it's healing...but I could still do without it....

Thought I'd share that with everyone.... sweatdrop

:.shudder.:. Lordy, Absesses.... I've had 5 in a row on my right arm. Unfortunetly for me, they had begun to rot. So i had medical MAGGOTS put on the wounds. ew. Just..ew.

Okay, um...ew. While I agree with Kriss that it's amazing they still use them....I think they would have to REALLY drug me up and then never tell me that they did that to me...... gonk

Being a secondary partner is nice. It's fun, and not heavily stressful. But sometimes I wish I could be a primary, with someone.. *sigh* It's too early for that, though. I'm not ready for that sort of commitment I think. But it still keeps me up at night.

That and my burning desire for children. I'm too young for that too! D:

Got my shot yesterday. Ooooh, it hurts..

Just keep imagining being woken up at 2:00 am by a child screaming at the top of its lungs just because it wants attention. 3nodding What shot did you get? *pokes his arm*

As for an update on my life, My life is actualy going a tad bit better. I had fun going to jo ann fabrics with sheol the other day and looking at a furisode pattern and picking out beautiful brodicade silk to use. 4laugh Alas, we didnt buy anything. We are poor... If anyone wants to donate even just a couple of dollars, that would be awesome! We could send autographed pictures of us in furisode to our donators that are far away, and for the closer ones, we could put on a fan dance. 3nodding Im actualy going to try to take a japanese class and a karate class, so I can get fit and get knowledgible. heart I would get in contact with the japanese side of my family, but they are sadly outcasts of the family... emo I try to ask questions about them, but all I know for a fact and all that they will tell me is that they are japanese, and their last names are yoshida. *sighs* I just hope that I can see them at my coming of age ceremony, which will be in march. cool

Once you get used to the feeling of jello, its okay. Its not to bad, and In all honesty, its that, or have them pull the skin off slowly, or let it rot, ooze, puss, posabley infect, and fall off. The magots are alot easier. Especialy since they are sanatized.It sounds horrable,dosen't it? its actualy fine. And infact, once its done, it feels MUCH better. Its painful having absesses rot off. I suggest for yours, use a bandage, change it at least twice a day, sanatize! absesses on backs are the worst, because you can't tell as easy if its starting to get the tell tale warning signs of an infected absess. Change bandages often, but not TO often, just keep it CLEAN! don't let that bandage keep that bacteria in the wound! I'm very seriouse; the doctor visit was exprensive, but immagen if it gets worse. I don't mean to scare you, but I'm worried about you. It seems that 90% of first-time absess-Es end up in the hospital and in alot of money-trouble due to it.

I was subjected to maggots for...4 out of 5.

THE STORY OF NGS ABSESSES:

1. I was around 7, and my moms' best frineds' daughter,my "Sister" Jolene was taking care of me. They had an over active yellow lab named O.D. (Other Dog) and he liked to pick on me. knock me down, steal my food, bite me, drag me around. Everyone seemed to think this was funny. Especialy when he jumped on me; (he had long, sharp as nails) and I freaked; i climbed on the table, and screamed at jolene to put him outside; i wasn't bleeding much, just a slight prickle of blood. Everyone yelled at me for getting so upset. (They were taking care of me while mom was very sick.) Well, the wound on my stomache absessed. This didn't go over well, as Robin, (Jolene's mom) paniced, called my mom, mom paniced, everyone paniced... they put all sorts of crap on it and then it was infected; maggots.

2. a little erlier then that, I was a little kid, a toddler. I started running, really, before i could walk.So, I ran. Fast. And scraped my arm on a table. My immune system has always been poor, so even though we took the nessisary precautions, another absess and another maggot treatment.

3.The next absess was from a cat scratch. Jolene's cat, Millie, had gold eyes, and black fur....but she was at least 18 when i was this old. She and I had always had a good, healthy, 'ill be nice and you'll be nice' relationship. I was a todler/child, and she was old and crotchety. While mom and Robin were talking, I saw Millie cross into the living room, under the table. Just like every other day I went there, I greeted all the animals with a pet on the head and a "good morning." and useualy gave them a treat. I reached down, to peek under the table and she nailed me; missing my eye for some lucky reason (her 'pinkie' claw was in the corner of my eye.) and on my cheek. That absessed, and was infected again.

4. I've been told this one is a miracle that I enjoy my snakes now. When I was eleven, I was in Eastern Washington, going to a house warming party. I was the oldest and I knew we were rattlesnake country. Well, the younger kids were poking at somthing, and I heard the tell tale rattle. I went, and the only thing to do quickly was get between the now aggitated snake, and the kids. The envenomated wound absessed too. This was also very painful.

5. Lastly, when Robin lived in a gang related neiborhood, I was shot at. Yes, shot at! I was hit in the shoulder, mostly the skin and baby fat was bloody. Anyway, this is the only one that didn't absess. :3

I have some really neat asian inspired fabrics. I don't know how to incorporate them into my quilts because some of the prints are so big. I think I only have 1 or 2 yards of it, but the little quilt shop down the street from me has tons. want any?  

[Manda_Tifa]

*groans at NGs stories* I clean and change the bandages daily....I had to slap a regular bandaid on it yesterday cause I didn't have anyone to help me with the gauze.....It sucks when it's on your back cause it's more difficult to take care of yourself..... sweatdrop  

[Crenn]

Perhaps I should explain why I'm like this. As some of you know exams are in about 3 weeks time... and I'm stressing out about them big time...

I'm not the greatest student... I hardly hand in work on time... I'm very lazy... I don't really study.... and yet I want something huge
I feel like a failure because I know I'm going to get bad marks on my exam.... but I'm not study like I should...... my room isn't exactly an environment for studying.... and I feel bad about that as well.... but I do nothing about it.... I continue to whine... but I do nothing.
