New hair cut. I don't really like it, but it will grow back. I just needed something different. This is the outcome!


Here is the final picture of my lack of tonsils...isn't it beautiful. All gone!!

A Sign of Relief

So I have to say that relief is in sight!!! The doctor said I would be feeling better by day 10 and that will be tomorrow. Today has been the first day that I have really felt better. And I am so excited to be able to eat real food!!! I had nothing but soup, mashed potatoes, and pudding for the last week and a half. I'll tell you something....if you want to loose weight fast go on a liquid diet. I lost 15 pounds. Yep that's right 15, however, I have been craving a hamburger for the last week. Ugh I need real food. But as I'm typing this I'm also eating a piece of pizza!!! That's right pizza. I CAN EAT AGAIN!!!

So to sum things up....

2 tonsils
2 adnoids
15 pounds
1 1/2 weeks....

A new Tracey!!!

GRAPHIC PICTURE #2

Caution Graphic Picture!!!

This is what my throat looks like without tonsils!

Tonsils

Ok so here is the story. So I got my tonsils out yesterday. Everything went really well. I even felt pretty good. Mom was my responsible adult who was taking care of me. Now I'm not blaming here but maybe, just maybe she had a little too much faith in me...

You see about 10:15 last night she told me to take my medicine. I had just waken up and I couldn't find the special spoon that the doctor gave me to measure my drugs. So I grabbed what I thought to be a teaspoon and took 6 of those full of Lortab. Well mom comes in and says you know that's a tablespoon right? Well by then it was to late and I had take 3X the amount I was supposed to.

Mom called poison control and they told her to take me to the ER. When we got there the doctor told me that it took 4 hours to show up on any tests. So he sent us home and had us come back at 2. I was released around 3:30 after blood test revealed that I would be fine.

It was an adventurous night that I found very entertaining. Mom wasn't so happy (sorry). But if you look on the bright side I'M FINE!!! Minus the small throat issues all is well. However I hear it gets worse, so I'm sure there's more to come!

The 'A'

This is a picture of me and Mark Laub standing by the 'A'. He helped build and light the 'A'. It wouldn't have happened without him. The 'A' is about 100 feet by 100 feet. This picture doesn't really show how big it is. I'll post more when I get them.

YEAH I'M KIND OF A BIG DEAL!!

So not to brag or anything but I'm a BIG deal. Today marks a momentous occasion in Utah State University history. The "lighted 'A'" on the hill was once again lit. Those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about will be able reference this to the 'Y' that stands above BYU or the 'U' above Utah.

You may be asking yourself why does this make me a BIG deal. Well, I'll tell you. The lighted 'A' was one of Utah States greatest traditions and due to various circumstances it was shut down. We have not seen the 'A' for about 20 years. Tonight we were able to bring it back. When I say we I'm referring to myself, Kim, a group of engineering students, the Sigma Chi fraternity and a few other people.

Kim and I started looking into this project over a year ago. We figured it would take 3-5 years to get something up there. Well a year and a few months later one can look east to the mountain and see this 'A' lit at Homecoming and A-DAY. This 'A' can been seen when driving into Cache Valley from all directions. It's beautiful and I couldn't be more proud. To think that just a few people could influence a university and even a valley of people is amazing. So...

Yeah I'm kind of a big deal!!!

Don't worry I wont let it go to my head!
