Well, here's the afterthoughts
Well, it's Friday, the day after my surgery. It actually went very well. The nurses at Chandana were awesome, they joked around with me the whole time and made the atmostphere much better. Surgery only took about 45 minutes. And the nurse was right, the most painful part of everything was being stuck with the needle for the IV. I woke up after surgery and was still starving as hell, so they gave me some Cinnamon Teddy Grahams and that made things a bit better. I wasn't in any pain at all that day. I woke up a little sore this morning, but nothing that I can't tolerate. I am not on any pain meds either, so that's a good thing. I'm at school right now. As much as I don't want to be here, I figured it would do me good to get out of the house. I would also like to say thank you to all of the people who either left me posts on here or called me or sent me text messages wishing me luck. It was reassuring to know that more people care about me than I thought. It was also nice to see that even though we have a bad history, my ex-girlfriend came over to see how I was doing. And she did it while my current girlfriend was there with me, so that was kinda brave. Overall, yesterday was a lot better than I was expecting. The doctor did change his tune yesterday however. Originally he told me that I would be out of work for 3-4 weeks. Yesterday, he told me that it would be 4-6 weeks. That's good news and its bad news at the same time. It means that I will get more time to relax and soak in not having to work. It is bad though because I won't be able to make any money, so I have to REALLY watch my spending. Oh well, I will make it through. I made it through having 5 months off of work, so I think I can manage 4-6 weeks. Well, I don't really know what else to say, so I think I am going to head home and relax a bit. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
