At least the drugs are good!
I was intending this weekend to be very productive. Since I was going to be sitting on my ass recovering from minor surgery, I got two friends who needed beta work done to send stuff my way. But I keep falling asleep, due in no part to the content of the files I've been asked to read. It's all the drugs! *g*
On Friday around noon I had laproscopic surgery to remove an approx. 8cm cyst from my left ovary. Everything went just grand according to the surgeon. They didn't even have to take the ovary. They just took the cyst, which turned out to be on the uterine wall, not on the ovary like they'd originally thought. Doc says that everything points to it being benign, but of course they'll send it to the lab just to make sure.
I have three sore spots on my lower belly, and the percocet makes it tough to focus on anything for very long. I keep drifting off to sleep. It's probably a good thing...my body is working on healing. Somehow I thought I'd be up for doing more. But then I've never had surgery before. *g*
Oh...I also have pictures...one of the cyst and two of my left ovary, which looks like a little screaming guy from a horror movie. It's kinda cool. *g*
Dude...tv sucks today. Too bad I'm caught up on Project Runway. We watched The Tudors on DVD today (JM, you would be appalled by the paraphrasing of history going on there!), which is very pretty...lots of good people in it. I can't wait for the second season to be out on DVD because we don't have HBO.
Okay, I think I'm going to go back to reading...I've been reading Web of Evil by JA Jance. It's a fairly new series for her...I guess I missed the first book in the series. But it's interesting enough to get me to look at the other books once I'm done with this one.
To the ladies I'm betaing for, I will do some more work on your things tomorrow while I'm seeing if I can live without the pain pills. I want to go a full day without them before I go back to work. :o)
BTW, if you're local and I haven't called you yet to let you know how I'm doing, I apologize. I made a lot of phone calls on the way home from the hospital on Friday, but couldn't remember any of them the next morning. Apparently I was very entertaining. *g*
N has been taking excellent care of me...feeding me pizza and girl scout cookies and helping me sit up and not making fun of my excitement about my bodily functions working right. She even bought me a wedge pillow to make it easier for me to get out of bed by myself. My stomach muscles are still protesting a bit, but it's getting easier to do it on my own.
It's just about time for dinner and another pill. I figured I'd take them on schedule yesterday and today to let my body take full advantage of the healing time. Since the expectation is that I'll be back at work Tuesday, that's when we'll see how I do without them.
And now I'm rambling and repeating myself...see what I said about the drugs? I blame it all on them.
