post-op
i have three holes in my abdomen, one of them in my belly button. it really feels like i have a hole there, which is weird and gross at the same time. otherwise i'm crampy and sore. i have the good drugs, though, so that's nice. hospital staff was super nice and entertaining. one of the nurses danced for me and the anesthesiologist sang to me as i was lying on the operating table. last thing i remember before going under: oxygen mask on and they tell me to take 25 deep breaths. i get to three when he says he's putting the medicine in and that i'll feel it in my head. my scalp gets crazy prickly and i say, "oh, that feels weird!" and then i'm out. next thing i know someone is saying my name to wake me up in the recovery room. now i truly know what groggy means.
showered today and dared to take off my bandages and look at my belly button. it's a little bruised but that's all. the incisions are really small, like three stiches each. can't imagine what the pain would be like if they had fully cut me open.
now i'm vegging out in front of the internet and listening to lily allen's "the fear" on repeat. i need new music.
