I’m fine, people, I’m back home from the surgery!
It was really funny that when nurses would ask me the standard question of “what do you think will happen here today?” to check if I was compos mentis, I’d rattle off the entire long and sciencey title of the procedure with relish. I didn’t get that college education in vain, it seems, and used it successfully to impress the nurses.
I was prescribed Tramadol which I know by reputation as the favorite recreational drug of the mistresses of Russian oligarchs. For that alone, I will not be filling the prescription. I’m planning to stay completely unmedicated for the recovery.
My main challenge currently is to stay in bed and not start running around doing housework and being a hero. I’ve started a new book by Anthony Trollope because that’s the only thing likely to keep me put.

I’m also heavily into doing laundry and folding. There are some bedspreads that are eager to get washed…

I really don’t want to go back there either. I hate being sick but this has been a year of constantly being sick for me.

For me, it was being unable to bathe for days and being very bored with only the TV on since I was too tired to read. I don’t watch much TV and I found myself watching METV which is a channel showing old TV shows, it was the only channel that was interesting. I spent my hospital stay watching reruns of Hogan’s Heroes and Beverly Hillbillies and Matlock, I hated the boredom and not bathing. I never want to experience that again
