Shit's been crazy personally and in the family over the past month I swear. Two weeks ago I just found out that my 14 year old niece is 2 months pregnant. I feel bad for her cause she's kinda slow and her mom is a drunk ass (thats why my brother left her sorry self over 10 years ago). She's not mentally prepared for a kid and so I basically told her if she didn't want the kid I'd take it and raise it. My mom just got ot of the hospital for having lung and chest discomfort, but luckily it was not her heart just an acute case of indigestion that hasn't gone away in like 5 days. A co-worker of mine's husband dropped dead of a sudden heart attack last weekend. I felt so bad for her cause she's a great lady and did not deserve this to happen to her. But I guess the most shocking realest thing of all is my own personal news (because it still seems to surreal and is still sinking in!). After 5 months of fighting my insurance company I finally got my approval on February 6th for my gastric bypass surgery. My surgery is on February 29th and I'll be in the hosptial for 4-6 days after surgery. Then I'll be recovering at my mom's place for about 4 weeks cause there's no way I'll be able to get up my 15 apartment steps after being cut open and stapled. Today I'm going to my surgeon to get my before surgery instructions and sign my life away in papers. I just registered for surgery with the hospital about an hour ago. It's so surreal. I'm glad after fighting for so long something finally pays off for me. I'm looking forward to a whole new beginning. I am gonna feel naked though considering all my facial piercings will have to come out and I'll have to get them all repierced again a few months later. But a small sacrifice it is for a big change in my life so I must say I'm quite ecstatic. Laters!
