Got my tonsils out today.
It. Hurts. I should have done this when I was a child. It wouldn't have been so crazy.
No heavy activity, shouting, or bending over for two weeks. My only concern is that I'm at a high risk for internal hemorrhaging because I'm so anemic. I was so fucked up on pain meds today that I thought my nurse was Christopher. She kept saying "I'm not your boyfriend." They told me later that I started crying and denying it. I absolutely don't remember. All of my doctors were wicked young and tooling around with each other. Before I got in the OR I told them that "Scrubs is just a TV show. Acting like JD and Turk isn't going to fly with all of your patients... But I think it's hysterical." So all in all, my first surgery experience was alright. Until afterwards. I was severely nauseous and had no balance. I was wheeled around everywhere and had to be kept there for nearly two extra hours. There was a problem getting my meds from the Pharmacy as well. It's been very painful. All of my doctors later said they were shocked at just how big my tonsils had always been. Good to know. I talked with Chris a little earlier. As soon as I heard his voice on the phone I started crying. I'm positive it's just the medication but, I was really scared and tense all today as well. Hearing him calmed me down so quickly I just didn't know how to deal. I dropped some vomit an hour ago. Could possibly be the most painful thing in recent memory.
I’m playing FFVIII. It’s a great game to be playing while I’m laid up because of the insane amounts of fiddling you can do with it. I’ve always been a huge fan of Rinoa and Squall, so it’s nice to see them again.
What can I say about my relationship with Chris? I’m delighted to be sharing such a special bond with him. We’ve had discussions that, in a normal situation, I would consider a “fight” and have been very stubborn. It’s amazing how easily you can understand another person when you both respect each other.
Monday: We went to Old Mystic Village and he didn’t seem too bugged when I wanted to peruse a couple shops. I was pretty pleased, you know? Hahaha. Then we went to the Beanery and watched the ducks for quite awhile. I’m always the type to go and do those things, so I’m thrilled to have a partner who enjoys just… Looking at things. I took some pictures and I couldn’t help but laugh when I found specific ducks that we had been coming up with little stories for. Then we went to a really beautiful place in Noank by the cove I hadn’t visited since I was real young. We curled up on a boulder and took respective naps. Eventually I took Chris crabbing. He was pretty good, too. I was distracted with smashing up bait and so endeared by Chris, who looked like he was having a good time, that I didn’t manage to catch any myself. It didn’t bother me to get skunked because then Chris got super excited to scavenge glass for me. I wasn’t in the mood to be picking up sea glass, but we had some nice chats and I’m always dying to hang out with him outside. It was a fabulous day. We went to go see Ironman. Fucking amazing. He held my hand the whole time and, even with our clammy hands, it was like a date. More fun times ensued and Venture Bros while I was knitting.
I’m sure you can tell how I felt about it all.
