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.


Every day I wake up is a good day.

Yikes, that sounds very not fun. Thankfully, it sounds like the worst is over. Get well soon and make sure the men in your life continue to spoil you!

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. )

And that's the point where the post ventures into TMI territory.


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.

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 SPECTACULAR).

Sounds like a major pain in the butt to me.

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.

It's in one of the places in your body with a very high concentration of nerve endings and excellent blood flow. If it DIDN'T hurt, things would be very VERY bad indeed.

Cold pack and doughnut pillow FTW here. Then lots of laying on your stomach or lying on your side. If you have a few extra pillows and don't mind learning to sleep on your side (assuming you're a back-sleeper), with a little planning you can usually prop yourself up into a comfy position to fall asleep in.

He, he, he. Do I detect a bit of squeamishness?

My surgeon assured me that everyone gets them at some point in their life. Women who have borne children are definitely at risk.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Joking around about it helps to keep my spirits up. Things are improving steadily and for this I am thankful.

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..

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Don't start making too many cracks, now. She's in a crappy enough situation as it is.

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.
