Tom Keen, giggles and Pee medals.

"can you tell me what your pain level is?" Tom keen asked me as I sluggishly blinked my eyes at him.

Tom Keen.

Tom Keen.


Who is Tom Keen?.....Tom Keen is my nurse. My brain registered.

If you do not know who Tom Keen is then you do not watch The Blacklist. Which, IS the best show. EVER.
 
"Your pain level?" He insisted.
 
I growled at him and held up 5 fingers.
I didn't  know why he was bothering me.
 
I also don't know why Tom Keen was in my Kaiser Hospital, but....details.
 
My eyes were so heavy. I wanted to sleep for weeks.
 
"She's going out again." I hear Tom say to another nurse. And He walked away.
 
I nestled back into my hospital bed, my eyes grainy and heavy.
I grit my teeth against the burning pain in my stomach.
 
I started to drift off and then wondered why I was in the hospital.
Why was I sleepy?
What was I doing there?
 
I forced my eyes open and stared at the clock.
Blurred numbers.
 
I concentrated.
 
10:something it said.
 
Wait. That is not right. That is late. I sat up, shook my head and took stock of my body.
 
#1. I wiggled my toes. I am forever convinced that while I am in a hospital I will be overcome with paralysis. I do not know why I feel this way, it is a thing.
 
#2. I smiled. I always have to check the status of my Bells Palsy. It was still there. This is oddly comforting to me.
 
#3. I looked for Tom Keen. Was he a figment of my imagination?
 
#4. I tried to remember.
 
I did not just have a baby, but my stomach hurt.
My stomach.
yes.
I had my stomach fixed.
Yay.
 
#5. I checked my boobs. Nope, there was no feel sorry for me boob job. How sad to them.
Boo.
 
Tom appeared again.
He looked grumpy.
His shoes offended me.
I frowned at him.
 
"Do you think you can eat this jello?" He asked
 
"sure."
 
I knew I had to eat, drink and walk to leave. I took two spoonful's.
It was yellow.
I have never seen yellow jello before.
I almost threw it up.
 
It was as if Tom could tell I was going to puke, because he appeared at my bedside.
"You okay?"
 
"Yep." I nod.
 
I picked up the cup of water and took a sip of it. I stared at the clock and wonder what took so long if they didn't provide complimentary boobs for me.
 
Tom appeared again, holding my bag of clothing.
 
"You feel like getting dressed?"
 
"Yep." I nod
 
"okay, lets stand you up."
 
When I tried to stand up fire shot out of my veins and surrounded my stomach in intense and irrational pain.
 
"FUCK!" I yelled, and fell back against the bed. "I'm sorry." I apologized.
 
Tom smiled "Cussing is good for recovery. It is a fact."
 
"oh good...good." I breathed
 
He laughed. (He would. EVERYONE knows that nurse Tom Keen is evil.)
 
I took a breathe and pulled myself back up.
It hurt like a son of a bitch.
My head spun.
 
I have to get dressed.
 
I held onto Tom and nodded at him.
 
"Would you like for me to call a female nurse in here with us?"
 
"No. I don't care."
 
He nodded and held up my dress. I slid off my hospital gown and pulled my soft blue dress over my head.
I sighed at the comfort and familiarity of my dress.
 
He held up my panties and I whined.
"Do I have toooo? I really, REALLY don't think panties are a good idea."
 
He laughed again "Nope. No panties Is always good."
 
He led me to my wheelchair and away I went. Outside to Mandy's car. She was waiting for me with the door open.
 
I will tell you that I honestly had no idea how I was going to stand up.
Or get into the car.
Or breathe.
 
I passed out on the way home, and the walk into my house and down the loooooong hallway to my bed was the longest walk EVER.
 
I kept thinking that Karma was going to jump on my and claw at my wound like a vicious animal that she isn't.
 
She didn't.
Instead she kept running in front of us and flopping down only to roll on her back, belly up. Tongue hanging out.
 
She is an attention whore. (but she comes by it honestly.)
 
The rest of the day was a blur of sleep,The lord of the rings on replay and Mandy.
Finally I had to pee.
Mandy had taken up residence on my couch and gave me a strict order to text her when I needed something.
 
Pee was something. SO I text her.
 
She came in and I looked at her in confusion.
Let me tell you why.
 
Every single movement that your body makes, comes through your stomach.
 
 I SWEAR!
 
I tried to roll. "NOPE!" I grunted.
 
I tried to scootch "NOPE!" I growled
 
Mandy pushed pillows behind my back as I slowly maneuvered.
At one point she used her body to held guide mine off of the bed "NOPE!" I shouted, when my stomach bit me from inside.
 
"Im just ganna never pee!" I whined up at her
 
"You will pee." She half laughed at me "Use your arms."
 
I pouted and rolled to my right, scooting down until my toes touched the floor.
My bed is very tall. I am very NOT.
 
I used my arms and pushed myself up....
 
Peeing was the hardest thing that I have done since I pushed a child out of my vagina. A CHILD.
It took me 20 minutes to get out of bed, limp into my bedroom and tare at my toilet.
 
"I don't know what to do." I looked at my toilet with fear and confusion.
 
Emma had come in to help me use the restroom. "I will hold your dress."
 
"ohhhhhhhhh." I whined.
 
As I whined and turned to back up while standing I caught a look of myself in the mirror.
"OHHHHHHHH." I moaned
 
"Just back up and sit down." Emma stated.
Emma is very matter of fact. She is fact based. She doesn't understand that I am scared to sit down on the toilet, she is just aware that I need too.
 
"Okay." I said while standing over my toilet, Emma holding my blue dress in her hands like a pee pee princess train holder.
 
I stood there for a minute like that. With my dress hiked up to my boobs and Emma turning her head away.
 
"Here I go." I stated
 
"Go." Emma answered.
 
"Here I GO." I stated....again.
 
"GO!" Emma demanded
 
It took me a full minute to sit down on the toilet and when I finally sat there and pee'd, I felt like I should get a medal for it.
 
A straight gold fuckin medal and a round of applause.
 
"Mandy I did it!" I yelled out to my bedroom. She laughed and congratulated me.
I knew she would be proud, you see Mandy loves me ONLY.
 
I felt so accomplished. I was so proud.
Emma was not impressed.
It took me twice as long to stand back up, and when I did I was sort of hunched over. I limped twords the door of the bathroom and I heard Emma snort.
 
Snort with a held back laughter.
 
I stopped walking. "Stoppit." I said quietly
 
She turned her head and scooted behind the door.
 
I looked away from her, which made me look in the mirror.
I stood there Hunched over, my sundress bunched up over my boobs... my hair a long, tangled hot mess.
I snorted.
I could feel it start.
 
"STOPIT." I insisted....I shook my head.
 
"I'm not DOing anything! I am sorry!" Emma exclaimed.
 
"Leave! Leave!" rushed out of my tightly clamped lips. "Oh no." I gasped as Emma dashed past me.
 
I started laughing. "nonono" I whispered between giggles.
 
"UTOH!" Mandy exclaimed.
 
Which made me giggle harder.
 
My stomach clenching with fire and level 5 pain. I couldn't walk. Or move. All I could do was try to think of something that was not funny. And when you are hopped up on pain pills, most everything is funny.
 
I don't think I saw Emma for the next 2 days. Every single time that I saw her, she made me laugh.

Post-op

"Why the HELL haven't you told me you are having surgery?!"
Popped up on my facebook messenger.

I stared at the words and just blinked.

"Why the HELL would I?" I responded

Now, I know this may seen mean. but seriously...SERIOUSLY people act odd at times.
I am not one to blast on facebook about my personal medical issues.
Even the fact that I just wrote "issues" after the word "Medical" erks me.

I am not one to whine about my aches and pains. No one knows that my stomach has been killing me for over a year. No one except those who are in my personal life. Those who HAVE to deal with me simply because they are near enough to me to notice that I cringe when I bend over. Or wince sometimes when I walk.

"I'm fine." I say and move forward. It is not true. The fact is I have been worried about myself. Very Very worried.

November found me sitting in a dirty clinic, clutching my purse to my chest and looking around the place. "I hate this." I muttered

"Too bad. You need to get checked out. You will feel better once you get checked out by SOMEONE." Brandee answered me, very matter of factly.
She was trying to look comfortable, but there was NO way she could have been.

The place was dirty. It was icky. I HATED IT.
At the same time, I was happy that the place existed at all. I was called up to the front and asked about insurance. "I don't have insurance." I stated.

I was called back to the room and told to sit on the bed.

The bed was old. It was torn and dirty and I shuddered. I almost left, but I knew Mandy would be mad at me so I stayed.

The doctor came in and asked me questions. She asked me to lay down and she felt around on my stomach.
She poked.
She prodded.

She felt the protrusion and gasped "This feels like it is right on your ovary!"
She felt around some more. "Okay. I am not going to tell you for sure that this is what you have. But I am going to treat this like you have Cancer."

"What!?" I shouted at her

"Yes. Ohmygosh. You will need an ultrasound but that will have to be ordered. We will call you!." And she rushed out of the room.

I lay on the bed. Breathing. Trying to focus. "Well that was professional." I muttered while I stood up and exited the room.

Mandy and Brandee met me outside. We were walked out by the security guard.
I hated that place.

I told them what the doctor said and they tried to act calm.

I don't remember driving home. But I remember that once I got there, I got in the shower and I cried.
I sobbed and I cried and I washed away the dirtiness of the clinic.

At work the next day I had to make Brandee tell the beast that I would be having doctor appointments. I couldn't do it. I couldn't say the words.

"You need to go down and get Medi-cal." Brandee Stated

"I don't want medic-al! I want Kaiser!" I stomped

"Well." she shrugged her shoulders.

That night I went online for a Kaiser quote. After seeing the $489.00 quote I slammed my computer shut.

The next two weeks passed in a blur of worry, sporadic and erratic tears and no sleep. Clutching Emmas sleeping body to mine and praying.

One night my stomach hurt so bad I went into the  Emergency Room.
I need you to keep in mind that I do not enter the emergency room doors unless I feel like I am dying.

On the drive there Brandee assured me that we would find SOME answer that night. I nodded.

Once there they took blood and pee. They swabbed my cervix, poked my ass and put me in a machine.
The result to me was a happy one. There is nothing on my reproductive organs. I have a hernia.

I wanted to cry, I was so happy.

I left that hospital at least relieved. At least knowing that they did more then poke my stomach and declare me cancerous.

I went home and started the process for Covered California.

In the meantime I had to stop walking in the mornings. I had to stop going to the gym. Eventually I had to stop doing EVERYTHING but working.

On the weekends I would go to a party and cinch myself into spanx in order to wear a dress. I would find myself smiling at my hostesses and asking to use the restroom just so I could squat down and catch my breath. The pain was getting worse. I could no longer even walk around my house on the weekends.

I couldn't stand for long.
I couldn't bend over and clean the shelves in my classroom.

It took 3 months for the covered California process to go through.
It was worth it.

When I walked through the Kaiser doors 2 weeks ago I almost cried. I felt HUMAN.

And as I left his office I entered the elevators and leaned my head against the wood. I felt SAVED.  "Thank you Jesus." I whispered.


Within 10 minutes of talking to my doctor he had a surgery clinic appointment scheduled for me. It has been less then 2 weeks and my surgery is this Wednesday.

The rules of being a Passionista.





I was stuck.

I was smiling at my hostess for the evening and I was stuck.

My left heel was 'balls deep' in her soft green grass.
I had tried to walk around the grass because I consider it rude to walk on peoples lawn, however there were so many cars squished in the driveway, there was no room for my fat let alone my rolly bag.

*disclaimer: This Blog is not about any ONE of my passion parties. This blog is about MANY of them. There will be no names, or places described.

"HIIIII! I am so excited! Do you need help?" She squealed at me.

I love it when my hostesses are excited. It makes it so much easier to  stand in front of them and talk about Anal sex.

"No..No I am fine!" I insist and I push against my rolly bag. I hide my foot behind my bag and grasp the toe of my fabulous red heel with my OTHER toes.... and pull up.

RULE #1 of a Passionista:
Always act professional

 
 

I do this while smiling very brightly and chatting about the party. (I am hoping that if she is consumed by my perfectly applied red lipstick, then she wont look down.)

It works and I am free.

 
RULE #2:
Wear Red lipstick
(It seems to get you out of a bind)
 
 
 
 

I tiptoe the rest of the way to the door. I am happy because my hostess is excited. This is always good. This always means I will want her to get even MORE free goodies.

*********

After I set up I notice that during my 45 minute drive, my SPANX have become un-glued to my fat. I keep wanting to pull them up, and the crotch has fallen almost to my knees.
I bite my lip and ask the hostess if I may use the restroom. I don't usually Pee at my parties.
I don't pee, I don't eat and I don't drink.

It is a sticky situation to have $1000's of dollars of vibrating goodness just sitting on a table. Ready for the plucking.

It sounds bad. But it happens. I HAVE been stolen from.
I look around the room, pass over the shy woman holding her purse to her chest and spot the most tattooed girl there. She has pink hair and pierced cheeks. She looks the most trust worthy to me. "Excuse me. can you do me a favor?"

"OF COURSE!"

"Will you baby sit my dongs while I use the restroom? They get lonely."

"Shit yeah I will." She stands up and walks to my table.

I show her my masturbation sleeve. "DO you have any idea what this is?" I ask


"Nope!" She replies

"Good. Give your best Demonstration of what you THINK it could be and you get a baby sitter discount! I will be out in 2 minutes!

In the bathroom I lift my dress and Hike my spanks up to the proper position. Right beneath my boobs.
 I pant and grunt and while I do my heels are making clicking sounds as I lift my right leg and then my left.

I stare at myself in the mirror and then I laugh.

As I laugh, snot flies onto the mirror.

I sigh, clean the mirror and replace my dress.

As I walk out to the living room I hear the girl yelling at her friends...

"Back BACK you bitches! Come any closer to this table and Ill smack you with this here limp baby elephant penis!"



****

"What are you..a FREAK?" A pouty woman says to me.

I immediately feel myself get riled up. I am a Leo.....
I am a Leo who is Portuguese...Put them together and you can have some "bitch flair ups"

I calm myself down and smile at her while holding my plush bendy vibe in my hand.
At the moment I am fitting a C-ring onto it.

She looks at the Vibrator that I just lubed up and her eyebrow goes up.

"Excuse me?" I say in my sweetest voice


RULE#3:
Act like a Lady while slinging dildos
 
 
 
 

"Are you a FREAK or something? I mean you have all of this stuff."

I smile at her and continue fitting the cock ring around the Bendable Vibe. "I have all of this stuff because I sell it." I answer "Also, me being a 'FREAK' just depends."

She snorts and sits forward "It depends on what?"

I smile at her "Tell you what.... MY secrets start spilling when YOURS do honey. Tell me, do you like being choked during sex?"
She gasped.
She sputtered....She gasped again.

 I smiled at her "Sounds like you have gagging problems. I have a cream for that!" I say, and turn to begin the demonstration of the C-ring.
 
RULE#4:
Move forward...or....Just keep slinging
 
 
 

"Will you give this to me?" A girl asks. She is holding up my orange crèmesicle tasty massage.

"Sure." I respond

"You WILL!?"  (She is so happy)

"Yep. As soon as you give ME your credit card. We can go ahead and process that for you."

 I smile and wait..She sits back, rejected by -Lo
 
RULE#5
               Be Patient ...or...They don't understand this
shit costs you money too.






I am nearing the end of an event. I am at the LELO toys. And If you know anything about Lelo toys, you know that they are the curtain closer, the GRAND vibrating Finale.
I am demonstrating the Soraya when a woman walks in.

She is 3 hours late.
She apologizes and sits down.
She smiles at me and asks to see demonstrations of the things that she has missed.

I smile back at her, welcome her to the party and ask when she would like to schedule her party to see the Demos for herself.

She frowns.

RULE #6
Just say NO (but do it politely)
