Ow!

The surgery is complete.

Now there is a scar where there was a bump.
And a pain where there was no pain.

Ugh.

I'd show you a picture, but I don't feel like going through ALL that hassle.

The nurse did fill me in on some of my ramblings when I was all drugged up for the surgery that I don't remember a bit of.

She said I talked about creme brulee and asked them all what they were making for dinner that night.
She also said I asked them if they had to choose would they pick a cook or a housekeeper.

I sort of remembering telling them that I didn't feel ignored and I guess I wouldn't really have noticed if they had ignored me anyway.

My friend Norma stepped up in a BIG way for me and was my care giver and chauffer for the day.  She said when they brought her into the recovery room I told her it was pretty fun and I'd do it again soon.
She also told me I asked her how long she'd been there and started on a list of questions and comments which ended with another query as to how long she'd been in there.  I guess I went throught the same line of questioning three times before I was supposedly lucid enough to realize I'd already said some of the things I was getting ready to say again.

She took me to get my perscription (which I only took that first day.  It made me feel woozy.) and picked me up some Cadbury creme eggs while we waited.
Then the sweet thing rubbed my back as I puked up my grape juice in a parking lot next to a church on the way home.

So.  Three days later it is NOT fun and maybe I'd ask more questions about just living with Lumpy, making him a part of the family no matter how bulbus and disturbing he may have been to some people.

I am not a trooper.

NOT AT ALL!

you're too funny, and even funnier on drugs. You're lucky we didn't both end up puking by the garbage can :)

Love you!

Not that SAME church parking lot was it? You should do some community service cleaning it or something if you are going to keep losing your stomach there.

You ARE a trooper and soon the pain will be gone and your scar will be a small line and you'll be holding hands with that cute hubby and you'll both be so glad lumpy isn't making it a three-some.

:)

I have had nine surgeries not counting the 11 moles I have had removed over the years - 2 being melanoma. I am proud of you for enduring - you now have a battle scar that proves you have lived a diversified life!

WHAT----no picture??????????????
I can totally see you asking for creme brule.

It reminded me of when Trent had his wisdom teeth out. When he was coming out of the drugs he was so looopy I thought I'd die laughing.
