quick update

[winterbadger]

I'm back from surgery and doing OK. Many, many thanks to Chris, who is being a real pal about driving me around, getting my prescription filled, etc.

I think I'll take a raincheck on the mueum visit tomorrow, but hopefully I will be able to make dinner with Da Grrlz on Sunday night still.

So far: dizziness from general anaesthetic wearing off, sore throat from being intubated (told me that ahead of time--somethign to do with how the lap. surgery works), dehydration (which I will be working on reversing shortly, hungry (and no problem so far with crackers, etc.), and considerable soreness and pressure in the tum plus tenderness and bruising in related bits (which they mentioned might happen). Percocet is my friend! I also have a cute little pillow (got to get somethign for my $500! :-) to hold over my ice pack.

Lots of relaxing and telly are in order, I think, plus throat soother tea and mild food.

Huh? Did I miss something here? You had surgery? I'm glad your doing okay. Just be sure to follow whatever instructions the doctor gave you.

I know you'd mentioned surgery briefly ages ago... I didn't realize you'd had it now!

Hope you feel alright soon.

Percocet, however, is not my friend. No narcotics are, but that's just me. (Don't allergies suck?) :)

Um yeah, DITTO!!!!

Same confusion here. Surgery?

*healthy thoughts*

Phew! I was afraid I was the only one who'd missed this.

I'm glad to hear you were successfully serged. I hope you recover quickly with nice warm cats.

[winterbadger]

Yes, all the bits were successfully stiched (I used to date a comstume designer--the though of a serger being used on my abdomen is... a bit what it feels like :-).

And, yes, cats are being applied. :-)

Allergies *do* suck! Thankfully, most of mine have departed over the years, except my mild allergy to cats, which I just live with :-)

[winterbadger]

Indeed I am. And I don't seem to be needing the Percocet much. I had one at the hospital, and I took one last night when I went to bed, just to make sure I could sleep, but otherwise the paim seems unpleasant but manageable.

Thanks for the good thoughts. Sorry I haven't commnted recently on some of your woes. I *have* been reading and thinking what positive thoughts I could. I posted a long reply the other day, only to have the Internet connection go down at work partway through.

*hugs*

Hey! You're wearing Perdita's cap! ;-)
