Under the knife and out the other side.

So, I have undergone the surgery, and now I’m recovering slowly, bed-ridden and drug-filled. That may sound fun, but it’s really more necessary than anything else. This morning I found out what can happen if I let the drugs in my system lapse, even due to something as necessary as sleep. Owwwww, dammit. I will be doing my best to make sure THAT doesn’t happen again. I’ve been blessed with having a great nurse through this – LampLover is taking fantastic care of me (though she won’t put on a little skimpy nurse’s outfit while she is doing it…was worth a shot). She is staying with me and brought lots of movies to help entertain me while I’m stuck horizontal. The Cheat was really nice and bought me a movie to help entertain me while I’m out of commission as well – Wedding Crashers is part of my movie collection now.

I was going to attempt a return to work on Thursday, but that idea has been nixed. The return may happen Friday, but I’m going to wait and see how I feel tomorrow afternoon. I can’t imagine sitting at work for 8 hours right now, even on pain meds…I just don’t think it will happen. Friday is looking a tad doubtful too, but it’s at least worth pondering. Any hours I can save would be nice, since I’d like to have SOME sort of personal time left in my cache by this summer.
