Recoverying, but OMG
Hi, everyone.
The surgery went just fine. I was in and out of the hospital after about 4 hours. However, the recovery has been extremely painful. I have been on 3 different drugs for the pain ( one of which is a narcotic). It wasn't life threatening, but it was needed. (hemorrhoids) I was having some bleeding and they said I needed have them surgically removed or I could become anemic. I never would have thought that it could hurt so much. The worst is over, but I still can't sit for very long. They say I should be much better by next weekend. Oi! I may pop on Infinity for short periods of time just for a diversion. Hugs to all. |

I wish you well in recovering. It sounds like a need, but painful ordeal. Get well soon.
Especially after my own visit to the emergency room. I escaped with only a mild medication list, you know, zofran, dilaudid, toradol, percocet. The fun ones. Oh, and Ibuprofen the size of my fist, but that's a mild one.
Hope to see you in game soon. (As I should be back in a week or so, I hope you are too. )

I am reminded of the Mary Tyler Moore show where Lou Grant has to have surgery to remove a piece of shrapnel lodged in his butt since WW2. When Ted Baxter says he heard Lou was injured in France and asks where he was hit, Lou replies, "The south."

Oi, that's not fun. Yes, let your men continue to spoil you, and come back when you can. Borrow some of Ells' meds, those can be wonder drugs when taken as prescribed.

Sorry. Hospital humor. 10 years in nursing really REALLY warps your notions of "funny". Obvious anatomical/scat references abound and are used and reused mercilessly. Absolutely GREAT way to ruin a nice dinner party.
I never would have thought that it could hurt so much. |
The worst is over, but I still can't sit for very long. They say I should be much better by next weekend. Oi! |
And that's the point where the post ventures into TMI territory.

My surgeon assured me that everyone gets them at some point in their life. Women who have borne children are definitely at risk.
Every day I wake up is a good day.
Glad. Any sort of surgery always has risks. Having people chop things off/out-of you is never high on the fun-o-meter (though some of the drugs can be SPECTACULR)

Joking around about it helps to keep my spirits up. Things are improving steadily and for this I am thankful.
Every day I wake up is a good day.
Yeah. Just get used to the "pain in the butt" jokes.
Just be careful. You'll wind up hearing them so much your eyes will automatically roll. You do that too much and you might strain something..
Get well soon.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I sense this thread going right down the toilet.
it has gone from unconscionable to downright appalling that we have no way of measuring our characters' wetness.

Wow I have been away from the computer WAY too long and can't believe I missed all these opportunities for making dirty jokes!
This may sound corny or a bit irregular, but I hope you've had a smooth passage through your recovery and you're back into the flow of things.
