Yeah Bitch!!!

*Me after getting the phone call !

Last week I finally got a call from the secretary of my OS's office. She said they had a surgery date for me in December if I was available and interested. Are you fucking kidding me? I've been available for over a fucking year already and yes I'm very much interested. So she put me on the schedule and I should get a call for the pre-op appointment from the hospital soon.

Another bit of good news is that there's a change of scenery, my surgery will be done in a different hospital than the one my OS said he was going to do it at. It's good news for me cause the last time I had surgery in the previous hospital, I had the worst of luck with cancellations, anesthesiologist making stupid remarks about my line of work (and he thought he was telling good jokes, what a dumb ass), nursing staff staying away from my room because of the old annoying patient who was next to me and I got discharged for a day surgery at 10:30 pm!!! This time I'm having my surgery in a hospital that I've never been to and so far I've only heard good comments about the place.

*Actual photo of me dressed as a fox

I spent a cool Halloween cleverly disguised as a fox with a sign that said "What does the fox say?". It's from a video that went viral on youtube lately and was made by the eccentric Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis. I had a great time going to parties and I went to the Halloween comic-fest at my local comic book shop last weekend. After the comic-fest, my brother and I posted some pictures of our combined fox and bear costumes on the comic book store's FB page (the owner loves it when his clients participate, especially female clients cause we're so rare in comic book stores!). 

*An "English for separatist dummies" book.

Later that night, we got several good comments about our picture from friends and family. However, our cousin (let's call him "Douchewagon" because he's more in love with his VW car than anything else including his kids, which is rather sad) decided for the 1st time ever to comment or post something on FB about one of our activities. He wrote in the comments "WTF??? Are you fucking kidding me?". This guy can't even write "happy birthday" on either one of our FB walls and now he gives himself permission to rain on our parade? We rarely talk to his family because they are materialistic snobs, Quebecker style separatists and they always boast at family gatherings about how better they are than everyone else. The good part is they hate everything that's English, including learning the language so I'll write and blog what I friggin' want here! Anyways, I had the best time I've had in a few months and it was one of those days where I had so much fun that the pain didn't bother me so much and I felt "normal" and included in the festivities. I certainly didn't need to see his humbug comments. I was pissed off about what he said and for about 5 minutes I vented about it with my bro. After the 5 minutes of venting/bitching, I brushed it off and once my head was cool I did something about it. 








What did I do about it? I posted, in french (cause I want him to understand) "Oooh, somebody's jealous!" on the comments page. After all he did just criticize and sort of insulted me, my brother and our pals from the comic book shop. And then I "un-friended" the bunch of em : Douchewagon, my anglo-hating aunt, his brothers and his annoying sister who complains about the difficulties of her little princess privileged life on FB (yes that's the annoying cousin I blogged about before). 



It felt GREAT!!! It was liberating to get rid of a bunch of self-centered, "don't give a shit about anyone else" snobs. They've never known, nor will they know about my FAI or upcoming surgeries because they're not worth it to be in the know. Like I said before, with chronic pain or chronic illness, you find out who are the people pulling for you and you see the people like Douchewagon who are so full of themselves that they have no room for compassion for anyone else. I'm glad I cleaned up my FB friends list last week and I have no regrets about anything.
