JCC Two surgeries at the same time....

... had I been given a choice, I would have gone for the two chicks.

Last Wednesday, I had two surgeries... one for a hernia, and the other for... er lady stuff / parts - it was lovely, let me tell you. I'm now at home, recovering, and in pain. The upside to all of this... I am this close (imagine my thumb and index finger measuring about a millimeter) to being a card carrying medical marijuana patient (hey, gotta look at the bright side of things, you know).


*Takes a percocet, eats a brownie, and counts the carpet fibers in my living room floor*

The time I spent in the recovery room was... bizarre. The nurse in there with me was almost inappropriately cheerful. At one point, when she was teaching me to pee with a catheter, she went overboard with the explaining... "Now this right here is you la-bee-aaah." For those who are unaware, I am 37 years old, have given birth, and know what a labia is.

Sweet blahg?

 

Percocets made me a happy girl after my ankle surgery. Glad everything went well, though. I fully support medical brownies.

 

Did they take the stick out of your butt while they were at it?

la-bee-aaah

 

You had labia surgery?

Which one, major or minor?

 

No, I did not have surgery on my labia.

 

I was just trying to make you laugh, because I know it hurts.

 

Well harp, here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

 

hope granted!

Even though I thoroughly disagree with the implied opinion held here, this made me laugh so hard I could have used a catheter myself.

Glad you're on the mend! A buddy of mine had hernia surgery once...part of his intestine wound up in his ball sack. It was nasty.

 

Glad to here you're recovering. My brother had hernia surgery a few years ago and he was in a ton of pain. Hope the meds are working!!

 

puff that green to a full and complete recovery, kristie!

 

I agree, but stick to the brownies. One harsh bong hit could do some real damage to your freshly stitched abdomen.

 

Yes, exactly... strictly edibles for a longish while.

 

Didn't think of that...brownies it is!

 

Eh..."Turtle" doesnt exactly scream "speedy".

Now if it were a ninja turtle...

 

Edibles aren't necessarily a bad thing.

EDIT: Would vaping pose a risk?

Scummy

 

well, now, aye-aye-aye... that's precisely why-i-i chose that one.. 'cause i thought the juxtaposition of the word speedy and the turtle image was higheffinlarious! .. but in a quiet, inward sort of way.

glad you noticed!

 

The hospital gave me a complimentary teddy bear... my son and I named him Staples, after the titanium tacks that will reside in my abdomen for the rest of my life.

Good thing they're titanium. My grandmother's ribs are wired together after bypass surgery and they told her it would be a...good idea to avoid MRI's. There's a mental image for you.

 

Hope you get well soon, harps!


Also, my Dad had a hernia operation a couple of years back - and two weeks after that he was at our cottage carrying heavy stones around for a garden wall... I have to constantly remind him that he's not 20 anymore... or 30... or 40... or 50...

 

I'm allergic to opiates, so they're not much good after surgery for me.

 

That better be medicinal marijuana!
Really, how's that stuff taste
