Surgery
so I had the surgery on my ankle today. they told me to come in today in order to get the cast on and talk about the surgery option. well, apparently, I was supposed to already come prepared to do the surgery today. I wasn't. so I ended up spending the whole fucking day in the hospital. the twenty minutes of surgery was actually kind of fun. it was like being dead- I was fully conscious the whole time but the whole lower half of my body was completely numb and I kept having halucinations of phantom limbs the whole time. It was like being high, dead, drunk off my ass, and knowing a torture session was practically going on involving my lower torso, but feeling nothing and imagining what horrible atrocities were being committed to my body while I was completely helpless and loopy.
I have a very active imagination. surgery and an IV full of fun stuff didn't help.
overall, that twenty minutes of weirdness was the highlight of my day. at least I got a reasonable amount of reading done. however, I was moved from room to room too often for much settling or comfort.
afterwards, I stopped at the dojo to witness the end of sparring class and interupt John watching two hot girls rolling around on the floor in order to be given a hard time by said party. actually, that was the highlight of my day.
I am a sick masochist. but it beats boredom. seriously.
oh, and then I learned that Jayme's Mike called wanting to hang out, but after learning that I was in the hospital, he hung out without me. curses! the day they want to do some thing is ALWAYS the day I am indisposed.
I still don't have the guts to ask John to a movie for a second time. I will see Narnia with my family. I will wait until after Christmas when Jayme is in town and there may be more hanging out going on between them. I will get in contact with everyone possible and try to get stuff going, to keep myself from going insane.
All in all, surgery wasn't bad, but the recovery time was BORING. if I ever have to have surgery again, I am going to tell them to use less anesthesia, and no loopy juice. I was relaxed enough as it was, the IV just made my eyes go out of focus. it did not accomplish much, just as the Tylenol did not either, as I was already experiencing no pain when they told me to take it. WHY do they insist I take medicine I don't need??? I didn't want to ride out in a wheelchair- I am perfectly fine using crutches. I didn't want to be put under so much anesthesia- I only need one limb to be numb, not my whole fucking body. I don't need help going to the bathroom or eating. Just leave me the fuck alone and I'll be fine.
