Coming out of surgery I was REALLY confused. I remember being wheeled into the operating room and then I woke up in recovering. The confusion totally frustrated me and I felt like people just kept asking me questions. Sorry nurse, I can't really focus on what I want for a snack when I'm trying to figure out what the heck just happened! I had some pain right away, but after finding the right mix of meds I was feeling pretty good. I am soooo not good at giving my pain a number by the way.
So far, two days after surgery, I'm feeling really good. No real pain, though I've been taking pain meds so perhaps if I wasn't I would have some pain. My right arm is pretty sore because I've been favoring it. The doctor told me I need to work on keeping a good range of motion so I've been trying to do normal things with it.
I took the bandages off and looked at my incisions. Hard to really tell anything with the sterile strips still on it but I have two incisions and they are longer than I thought they would be. That prompted the following text conversation:
Me: Looked at my incisions. Kinda big. Porn career officially out.
Sarah: Yeah right! You just need to find the right market. I'm sure there's a whole "sluts with scars" fetish out there.
Me: hahaha
Sarah: People wanted to see Octomom naked for Christ sake!
Me: You have totally lifted my spirits!
(Didn't I say I had awesome friends?)
It should be noted, I have no intention of starting a porn career, though I bet it makes better money than being a public school teacher so....
I'm sad that I'm sitting in Holland, Michigan, while my college friends are off to Louisville for our annual girls trip. Effing cancer! I almost decided to go with them and recover down there, but then I got a call that I have a doctor's appointment Monday so the trip was officially out. Probably best, sleeping in my own bed when I'm not feeling the greatest makes me happy, and I wouldn't be able to go in the hot tub which would depress me. :)
No news about the tumor so far. I'll share when I do.
