150. stomp, stomp. i’ve arrived.

Monday, January 24th, 2011

So, as you may have deducted from the photo of my dodgy lookin’ foot (i’m pretty certain it’s the angle), I’ve had my op.

The op itself was horrible. I had to have two injections of local anaesthetic before the op began and considering I’ve had renal colic which is meant to be worse than childbirth, the two injections came a very, very close second. That was probably the worst part of the operation, but I’d psyched myself up about it so much, I couldn’t stop shaking. I was convinced I’d be able to hear a ‘crunch’ as the toenail came off, and could feel it, but I couldn’t feel a thing. They placed forceps on my toe to see if I could feel it, and I felt absolutely nothing, it was amazing. I bet the surgeon had a fun time with my exceptionally sweaty foot though. After the op I was still shaking so badly I was made to have a cup of coffee and something to eat to try and calm myself down. I was still shaking though for about three to four hours afterwards though.

I took the bandages off the next day and was expecting my toe to look a mess, but apart from the injection marks, my toe looked really nice and neat. I couldn’t see the stitches and the horrible black pigmentation was toe. It was just like how it used to look pre-gammy. Ahh.

I will be finding out the results of the biopsy tomorrow. I really, really hope that it’s good news and I can put it behind me now.

Apart from that, I haven’t been up to much. I helped to move all the stuff from the old pharmacy to the new one over the weekend. It looks a lot neater, but its much smaller and we have no where near as much counter space to store all our stuff, (when I say ‘we’, I mean the counter assistants) which kinda sucks, but it’s nice to have everything all pretty and new.

141. her narcissism on his foul mind.

Hello! It’s been quite a while since I’ve last updated, almost a whole month in fact!

I haven’t been up to too much really, I hadn’t had too much news to share… up until now, that is. ;) But before I share that, even though most people have seen the pic (on the left), I had one of those “makeovers” at the MAC store in Norwich a few weeks ago. It costs £25, but it’s redeemable against products, meaning I got a few MAC goodies whilst I was there. :D It was actually probably one of the best make up tutorials I’ve had. Unlike some certain places *cough*BENEFIT*cough* they’re not out to slap on as many products as they possibly can and basically make you look like a hooker. They kept constantly asking about how I like to apply my make up, what I’m happy with etc. And as a result I got a look I’m really happy with. The only thing I didn’t really like too much was their mascara – my brand will always be best! I haven’t recreated the one that they did at the store, but I did one that the girl suggested and it looks really great. It makes my eyes really stand out and I’m lovin it!

The MAC make-up I redeemed was a mineral eyeshadow trio called ‘In The Groove’, and a lipstick called ‘All Styled Up’. The lipstick is pretty bubblegummy in colour, which I love, but I don’t think it goes with the eyes too well, so I may go back soon and see if they can recommend a more peach-toned colour.

They also used bronzer on me, which I had a love hate relationship with after a previous make up counter put it on me and made me look atrocious, and granted, it still made me look a bit orange, but I actually really liked. I looked healthy instead of pasty, for once! I can see now, in a way, the appeal of looking orange. Though I think I’m going to try and experiment with bronzer and make it look a bit more natural… which will be hard on me!

I went to the hospital on Friday for a follow up appointment about my kidney. It was initially supposed to be a “kidney stone management” consultation, but after telling them I’m still getting pains in my kidney, that kinda went out of the window lolz. I’m having another x-ray at some point, and going back in 6 months to dicuss it. But it’s basically going to be a vicious circle of me going and saying my kidney still hurts, them giving me an x ray and saying LOL WE DONT SEE ANYTHING SEE YOU IN SIX MONTHS X. Oh, the NHS. ♥

In my final news, I got stung by a wasp today for the first time ever. :( I was sitting in the car with the windows wound right down, and I felt something in my hair, which I assumed was a twig or a bit of debris, and so I ran my fingers through my hair to fish it out, and I grabbed it and it stung me on the finger DDDD: I was in such shock I threw it on the floor of the car then started freaking out as it was in the car. My dad had to quickly pull over so I could get out of the car and get the wasp out. Anyone that knows me knows I am terrified of wasps, and have always pictured getting stung to feel like getting shot, but actually it wasn’t that bad! The sting itself just felt like really bad static shock, and then my finger stung, and felt hot and swollen, then went a bit numb, but now it’s fine. A little bit sore but nowhere near as bad as I thought it’d be. I guess I’m lucky I don’t react too badly! Though I’m constantly paranoid now there’s wasps in my hair. D:
