Any One Watch The Emmys?

One word - BORING!

I haven't really watched the Emmys in years. But since there was nothing else on, I decided to watch it. Let's just say it was painfully boring, and the comedy skits were horrible. It was actually embarrassing to watch at times. I changed the channel during some of the parts. Just because I couldn't bare to watch.

And they didn't even let the people give their acceptance speeches. I know they don't want the show to go as long as it does sometimes. But this year it was totally ridiculous. They totally cut the people off, while they were still talking. They rushed the show just so they could finish by eleven! I don't know which is worse having the show go on forever or cutting the people off BIG TIME, just to finish on time. It was very annoying.

Also I barely knew any of these shows that won, or were nominated. I mean, I don't get HBO or those other type channels. I think a lot of these shows that won, must be on HBO or something. Because I never even heard of them. Which I don't agree with either. I liked the old days when the shows were on the basic channels that everyone gets. I mean not everyone gets HBO.

Whatever! That's my little rant on the Emmys. The only thing I was happy about was, this was the first year that they gave away an award for Best Host for a Reality Show. And I totally wanted Jeff Probst to win. And he did! Yea! Survivor is like my favorite show of all time. And I feel like it was the first Reality Show on TV. Survivor basically started it all as far as Reality Shows go. So I feel like Jeff Probst definitely deserved to win it. So that was the only award I agreed with or was happy about. But that's just me. Did you watch? What did you think?




P.S. I can't wait until Survivor starts again!

Excuse me while I..... Vent!


Sorry for not posting any news sooner, but didn't find out the results of my x-rays until late Friday afternoon. Then I was to tired to post anything until now. Let's just say this week has been emotionally draining.

First off let me just say the nurse told me the x-rays were "normal." That being said let me just tell you why I was still upset. I spent the better half of a week, thinking everything under the sun was wrong with me. Everything from heart problems, a blood clot, I was going to need surgery. All these things ran through my mind. It's amazing how your mind works.

Then I waited, and waited, and waited some more for someone to call me from this Doctors office. I figured I would give them time and they just didn't have the results yet. Finally Friday I couldn't take it anymore, I called them. Only to be met with the receptionist who said the nurse would call me back. About 20 minutes later she calls me back and asked me a bunch of questions, it was basically like she had no idea what I was talking about! She said she would have to check with the Doctor. She finally called me back about an hour and a half later, said the x-rays were "normal" and that was it!

What I'm upset about is here I am all week worried out of my mind, no one even could be bothered to call me about it, I had to call them, when I did they had no idea what I'm talking about. When they finally answer me it's a 30 second phone conversation saying there "normal!"
I was so mad!

I know this is good news and the x-rays didn't show anything. But I still have pain. They barely answered my questions about what this "collection of blood" thing is. They basically don't care! I feel if I hadn't called them, would they have even bothered to call me back?

I got more answers from another Mother from my daughter's school, who happens to be a nurse.
The night before I talked to the Doctor's office (you don't ever actually talk to the Dr!) I was telling her what happened and she said I probably pulled all the muscles and the tendons in that area, and a collection of blood is a "hematoma." And that will eventually go away and will just disperse itself back into your system. But it can take a long time to heal.

Another reason that this whole thing got me so worried was my Mother, has severe Osteoporosis
and it has made me worried that I may have that too.

So all this being said I guess the x-rays were" normal," and I still hate Doctors! Thanks for letting me vent.
