Surgery

I had a minor surgical procedure done today. It was a voluntary thing, I wasn't sick, so don't worry. It's actually kind of amazing - this is a thing that at one time they would have had to cut a whole big incision for, and all I have are two small cuts, which don't hurt at all. I didn't even need the pain medicine they prescribed me (although I filled it anyway, since that's good stuff to have around).

This morning I was up at 4:30, and got showered and dressed and took care of the animals. J had a little trouble with his car (which he has now fixed), but it's a good thing we didn't take it anyway - it snowed like an effer here today, and we needed the 4wd on the truck.

We were at the hospital at just a few minutes after 6:00. I was in surgery by 7:30, and waking up before I even knew I was asleep. Apparently I puked while I was under, and the anesthesia made me feel horrible, but the surgery itself went fine, which I was happy about, obviously.

And then J and I were on the way home by 11:30, after a stop at my work so I could pee (they must have pumped a LOT of fluids into my IV, because I couldn't make it all the way home) and a stop to fill my prescription. Since then I've mostly been in bed, but I'm feeling so much better already than I did when we got home. Napping is a good thing.

And now I think I'm going to go back to relaxing and healing. Happy New Year, everyone. I will probably not be awake to see it in, but I hope you all enjoy it. And here's hoping that 2009 brings great things for all of us.
