Surgery Outcome

My surgery on Thursday went well, but I have to go back because they weren't able to get everything. So I've spent the past few days in bed doing nothing. I'm so drugged up that I keep forgetting things. For instance, I called my Mom and forgot I called her, so called her back to tell her everything I'd already said. I only know this because I was told that's what I did. In addition to the pain of the surgery, I've developed a bad cold. My entire body aches and my back hurts from laying on it, but when I sit for too long, I get dizzy. I've also been sleeping non stop since Thursday afternoon. I find that I can only stay awake for 2 or so hours at a time. Guess I really need the rest. It's nice to know the pain I've been in for so long has almost come to an end. Hopefully, I'll be able to beat this cold and the pain from the surgery will go down by Tuesday because that's when I've got to go back to work.

Meltdown

I kinda lost it last night. Ok, maybe not kinda. I had a complete and utter meltdown. I'm having extensive jaw surgery this morning and last night it all just caught up with me. I had one of those "somebody just died" cries. I'm thinking it was a combination of realizing how big my surgery is and getting no sleep this week. I've been averaging only 4 hours of sleep a night and I'm an 8 hour a night kinda girl, so if I don't get 8 hours....look out. This morning has been kinda tough because I can't eat or drink anything before surgery, so I'm not able to get my coffee fix. How do you get up at 3am and do a morning show without coffee?

Eddie Money and John Waite Concert

Went to see John Waite and Eddie Money at AMT. It was my first time at the theater and I've got to say- I was really impressed. It's such a nice venue and the best part? The seating! Nice big comfy seats with lots of room.

John Waite opened for Eddie Money and he was AWESOME! Totally enjoyed his performance. He did Missing You, of course and When I See You Smile and closed with a little song about a cafe and girl trying to become famous. I've got to see if I can find out that name of that song because I really liked it. (Sounded like something Shawn Mullins who sang Lullaby would sing)

Eddie Money started on time, which was nice because it's not usually the case. You know how you go to see a show and sit there forever waiting for the artist to make their way to the stage? Hate that. I was surprised to read that Eddie turned 60 yesterday because he looks a lot older, but still has a killer voice.


I have to admit, I'm not an album Eddie Money fan, meaning I don't know songs off his albums, only what we play on the radio but even when he was doing songs I didn't know, I found my foot tapping along. Loved when he picked up the sax- I'm a sucker for the sax.
But then something happened......Eddie's daughter, Jesse took the stage. She'd been there the whole time singing back up, but Eddie walked off and Jesse took over. It was all a little confusing. I wasn't sure if I was at a talent show or strip show. The girl is beautiful and really has a nice voice, but she needs to calm down. Seriously, the girl was gyrating and groping herself and at one point my guy asked if I had any dollar bills. I can see how the guys in the audience would enjoy the performance, but for me, it was a little too much. A couple people walked out during her part of the show. I don't know if it's true, but I've been told Jesse is to thank for getting Eddie back into the concert circuit and if that's the case; kudos, but she still needs to tone it down!
