Post surgery letter

Mar 03, 2008 19:15

Hi all,

Sorry about the bulk email I have just been swamped and injured. I want to say, "HI!" and I hope all is well with all of you.

Carol: How are you and Sam doing?

Gail: Did you do to the Tony Orlando concert or is that in April around your birthday?

Janice: I got your message haha I miss you too and the whole gym for that matter but it'll be a while before I can return...

Michelle: We'll get together soon. You are awesome!

Miah: I got your new #

Kim: I'll catch up on your emails soon. Did you get your exam results?

Aunt Cilla: How's Kenny's knees? I recommend scoping just not my doctor! To think he teaches at Harvard!

The knee surgery went well especially considering a had more damage that we thought. The knee has been doing well I guess but I haven't really thought about it. I've had to ignore it since during surgery, the doctor's team burned the flesh off of my thigh. I still have a 2nd degree burn and the surgery was 2/15 and I am a FAST healer so it was bad. Last week I got sick and had to go to the ER; we're guessing the sickness was from the Vicoden because the whole leg is healing well but it sucked that my easy knee surgery turned out to me a nightmare. The crutches weren't needed for the knee but for the burn. I had to take 4 days off of my new job and couldn't partake in any of the free beer! haha

So yeah I filed a complain with the Physicians Board and now I have to send that in and someone said something about an injury lawyer but I have no idea about that kind of stuff plus the doctor is saying that tape somehow caused the burn but no other doctor can figure out how tape would do that nor why there was a palm sized wound in my thigh. At least I'm healthy and in that extremely uncomfortable itchy stage now (means I'm healing) and hopefully the scar won't be as big as the wound/thigh doctor says it will be. I'm done w/ the knee doctor and I even saw him for the knee follow up (Mom and the ER doctors badgered me about the importance, but I didn't concent to going w/o smashing a few plates outside just for the Hell of it!)

Basically I'm back at work and not passing out w/ the shivers like some girl who played too closely with Ibola carrying monkeys and I'll have extra time to dedicate to work since I can't go to the gym for self governed physical therapy (because who trusts the medical community anymore ;-)) and Lord knows I won't be swimming daily for a loooong time. Too bad I can't press a Law Suit button because the jets in the hot tub really helped w/ my disc and muscle problems but I can't exactly get in that water w/o skin...

That's all I can think of and i just put in a 10 hr work day so I'm heading home...ok, ok to the library to type notes, then dinner and bed!

Love you all and sorry for the neglect. This is what happens what you start an awesome new job and gets mysteriously burned I guess!
