Ugh. Just got back from driving my dad around randomly to get some more experience. I think the only "compliment" he said the entire hour was "you're doing fine". Just fine. After I'd asked him about five times if I was doing okay. Gee, thanks. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but getting one tiny compliment out of the man is practically impossible.

Bought one of my dogs yet another collar today. That's her fifth one in two years. Bloody chewable collars! I thought about getting a chain, but it looks so uncomfortable to be around her neck 24/7. Maybe I'll just start taking it off at night. Hmn.

Have a doctors appointment on the 15th up in Southampton. I have scoliosis, it basically means my spines twisted. Anyway, last year I had two metal rods placed either side of it to try and straighten it. It worked, but it left my right hip "sticking" out. And me being on the skinny side it looks even worse. So hopefully I'll have another op to lengthen the rods and basically fuse my entire spine.

I'm still sitting on the fence on whether to have this done or not. Has anyone had it done? I think I'll still be able to bend and stuff like that, and that's the thing that's worrying me the most. And whether or not I'm just wanting this done purely for cosmetic reasons. Which is a bit shallow of me. But then again, people have nose jobs etc for purely cosmetic reasons, why shouldn't I be allowed a tiny bit of happiness and not have to glare in the mirror at my non-straightness.

Ugh. Life sucks.
