It's a New Year

Wow 2012 already oh how the time flies. Well life is getting back to normal, or as normal as it can be here. I'm essentially seizure free. And I found out I was severely potassium deficient, which I guess no one ever checked. It wasn't until I was at the emergency room one day and an er doctor decided to run an additional test. He put me on some tablets for a few weeks and that seemed to up it and the seizures and dizzy spells radically decreased.
Then when I had my gall bladder removed a couple of weeks ago, the doctors noticed again that it had dropped severely. So I got three bags of potassium through my iv the night before surgery, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do the surgery.
I'm making a slow recovery. The first week went great, I spent one day resting and after that I up and out of the house everyday. Walking around stores, etc. Second week I got a really sharp pain in my right side just under the rib cage and 2 of my incisions popped open and started bleeding like crazy.
I'm spending most days job hunting, not getting anything, but not giving up either. I skype nearly everyday with my sweetie which is great. It really brightens up my day to see him and talk to him. I think even though we're an ocean apart, we've never been closer.
So yeah, that sums it up.
