They let me out this afternoon and I've kind of been too strung out to do much but watch bad Christmas specials and the Glee episode from this week. The meds they sent me home with knocked me waay back on my ass more than I thought. The good thing about this whole open surgery deal is that I can't "lift, push, pull or move" anything other than ten pounds for a month. This means that Mr. Vacuum and I do not have to deal with each other. Sure, we've made our peace but he's a pain in my ass at the best of times.
Then I got home, had a shower and went to the bathroom and discovered Aunt Flo had come to town TWO WEEKS EARLY. Yes, let's never have a period of more than two months when you're normal, Uterus. Fun idea! It's probably the blood thinners they kept injecting.
There was also the part where my father saw the flaps of my lovely gown open up in the back, him being the last person in the world that I would want to witness this, but this is what happens when you come to visit the day of the damn surgery. I also missed a bonus pay period at work, my mom emailed them to let them know where I was and I have papers if the powers that be demand it.
I think there was also a pneumonia shot that I opted to do, after thinking about it, because of the asthma thing. My mom tells that there was one that was different from the heparin anyway. Also FUCK THAT SHIT STINGS. Then the part where I got my own personal morphine injection pump that only let me have a little amount every couple minutes. Worked MUCH better when they were just injecting it.
And the part where my surgery got switched to open from lazer once I was under. I have the most amazing scar and line of staples. If I can find a non-obscene way to shoot it (you people don't want to see Sar!Boob, trust me) you guys get to see a lovely photo. I'm sitting here in my ren faire chemise right now, since it's kind of trashed anyway so leaking from the wound is no big deal and it's huge.
And um...yeah. Going to bed in a few actually because whoa, damn. KNOCKED OUT. I'll try to be around tomorrow. CoC and all.
Fuck ME I never sent your packages, those who are getting them. They'll be around at...some point. I DID finally order my swap gift for the one exchange I'm in, having found the perfect thing on Monday so that should be arriving shortly. And uh...yeah. You'll get packages eventually. There may be cards. There are actually birthday cards for Karis and Noris that um...are kind of lost and I doubt Christmas cards are happening this year. But I love you all anyway!
Sleep now...
