One Week Later....
posted on 6/14/11 8:48 am
I hve learned so many things about myself in the past week; I mean a lot of things. For example I learned that I "get ghetto" when I can't find my husband when I awoke in recovery and my husband was not to be found. I asked for him and then passed back out. When I woke up again, he still wasn't there so I cussed out the recovery nurse. She gave me a shot of something and I woke up again a few hours later in my room. 

I have also learned that I was not ment to have balls. Let me explain. When I came out of surgery I had an On Q pain pump and a drainage bulb attatched to a tube coming out of my stomach. I kept getting them twisted, tangled, and dropping them. 

I have also learned that I can't give myself shots, empty my own drainage tube, or pull out the onq pump on my own. (I have a really good husband who did all of that for me...)

I would like to get back to the drainage tube for a second.  That is the grossest thing I have EVER encountered...and I used to teach kindergarten, people.....you see things. *shudder* I named my tube Michael because, as a teacher, Michaels are always catching crap for whatever reason. Who broke the pencil sharpener?  Michael   Who pulled Suzanne's pig tail? Michael  Who let the pet frog loose in the teacher's desk? Michael  Whether he did these things or not, a Michael seems to always be blamed. When my surgeon pulled my tube out, it felt like burp coming out of my belly. Or, have you ever eaten a slim jim?  You open up the package halfway then pull the slim jim out. The package fits so tightly that you feel the movement. I felt like the slim jim rapper.  I was more than a little skeeved.  

Nonetheless, one week out and 20 pounds gone, I am willing to be skeeved.

Blessed Be!
