[BiRTHDAY'S & DR. APPOiNTMENT'S]

The past few days have been very busy for us.

On Saturday I had a surprise 21st birthday party for Chaz. Needless to say it was very hard to keep it all a secret and keep him away from the house while I got everything done. I had planned on getting a early start but that didnt happen because Friday night Chaz didnt get home from Florida until 2:30am so obviously he didnt want to get up in the morning. So by the time he got up and "Mamma called me and asked if we could go help Daddy at the new house" so by the time we got to the new house it was almost 1:00pm. I stayed over there for a little while and we got some lunch and everything like we normally would. The at about 1:45pm I told Chaz that I was getting a migraine and I was going to go home and take my medicine and lay down for a little while and then I would come back. Well of course that was all a lie :) So I finally got home and got started cooking everything at 2:00pm and everybody was supposed to be there at 4:00pm! I thought I was going to go crazy trying to get everything done but with the help of my Mamma and Nanna and pretty much everybody else the only thing that wasn't done when he got there was the chocolate icing for his cake. I think that we did pretty good getting everything done in time. Then Daddy brought him home and we all surprised him! It ended up being a lot of fun and I hope that everybody else had fun too!

Sunday was Chaz's actual birthday but we didnt really do anything. We slept late and then went and got something to eat and pretty much just relaxed for the afternoon which was nice for a change. Then we decided that we would just go ride around and look at stuff. We really enjoy just riding around out where there is nothing but land and cows and just doing nothing. We actually ended up finding a few houses that we really like so now we are just waiting to hear back from the bank about getting pre-approved for a loan and then we will just go from there and hopefully it will all work out.

On Monday I had to go back to the orthopedic surgeon again and it was not a very pleasant experience :( I have been taking Celebrex and it hasent been working which is not good. So after he poked and prodded my knee for a little while he decided that there there was fluid in it so he was going to try to get it out. BAD IDEA! First he put about 15mL of lidocaine int my knee to numb it... it hurt so bad!! Then he tried to get the fluid out and hardly even 1mL came out and he just kept digging all around and pushing on my knee trying to get it out but it just wouldnt come out. He said that the fluid is probably just so think that it wont come out through a needle. So then he put about 15 more mL in along with 2mL of solu-medrol. And then of course me being me my knee would not stop bleeding! It was soaking the gauze pads with blood and the nurse said that that is not normal for me to be bleeding like that at my age and that I needed to have it checked out. So now I have to go have that checked out. He also gave me some Voltaren gel to put on my knee 4 times a day. It is for osteoarthritis so maybe it will help me because I dont know what he will do next if this doesnt help. I just want my knee to not hurt all the time anymore! And right now it is hurting even more than usual because of everything it had done to it. Not to mention it looks like a water balloon and it is so bruised and sore. Hopefully it will get better from that soon. But anyway... after I went to the doctor we went and ate at the Varsity. It was sooooo good!! Then we went to Hard Labor Creek State Park and went fishing for a little while. Then we came home and Chaz grilled out for my Dad and Mom, Trey, Thomas and Laura. It was really good and everybody had a good time. So over all it was a good day minus my knee being traumatized. haha.

We didnt really do anything yesterday. I just worked and Chaz did stuff around the house and washed my jeep for me when I go home from work. He is such a good hubby :) And he had dinner waiting for me and we ate and then I ended up falling asleep because I didnt really feel good because of my knee and I think that I have some kind of little virus that I just cant seem to kick. I will probably end up having to go to the doctor for it eventually but we will see. Im just being stubborn I guess but oh well! Maybe it will go away on its own and soon because Im tired of feeling like crap :(

This morning Chaz brought me to work because he had to have my jeep because he is getting me new tires today! yay! Its about time considering that my tires now have 64, 000 miles on them and they are only supposed to be good for 50,000 I think it is definitely time for new ones. He is also going to change my oil since it has not been changed in like 7,000 miles. So it looks like I am going to have a whole new jeep when I get home! So today should turn out to be an eventful day. Me and Chaz are going out to eat tonight. I dont know where but he just said last night that we would go out to eat tonight so I must say that I am looking forward to that... no cooking, no dishes to wash and nothing to clean up... sounds good to me :)

I have now decided that this week is going to be the longest week ever. After everything that we have done the past few days and the pain I have been in and all. Well the fun doesnt stop today! Chaz just informed me earlier that he has been asked to go to Alabama this Saturday to judge the Alabama Limousin Field Day! I think that it is very exciting even though I am going to be pooped my the time this week is over. So that should be really fun! I just think that it is neat that he was asked to be a judge in a different state. So now I have something to look forward too for Saturday. Now I just have to find time somewhere this week to go and get Fathers Day presents. Hopefully I cant find time to do everything and get all of my homework done too! Wish me luck :)
