Pain in the Ass
"Good" Morning, Kittens!I am still in Recuperationville from my outpatient surgical experience on Friday. And, like, ow. At least the Percocet Happy Pills seem to be working ...
Although I really don't want to go into the whys and wheres and howtos and whatfors and whatevers about the procedure, the surgeon spent a good 30-45 minutes (I'm guessing) scraping, cutting, slicing, dicing, pulverizing, and then cauterizing my nether region. Yep. I had ass-tic surgery. Joy. I should have asked for a butt-lift while he was down there (hindsight. It is 20/20, yo!).
Anyway, the recovery process is tedious. And painful. And messy. And long, like 3 weeks long. Ugh.
Today is my last day of not working though. I am going to try to straggle into the office tomorrow.
So, what does a VUBOQ do when he is at home, on drugs, and not whimpering from painful pooping sessions?
He shops.
My brother notified my of an extra 25% off sale at Ralph Lauren Dot Com. With his employee discount, I snagged a short sleeved polo, a long sleeved polo, and a cotton v-neck sweater all for less than the original price of the sweater. Sweet.
Then, I found two UberCute knitting kits ... a Dragon Scarf and a Panda Scarf! My BFF from College totes luvz pandas. I thought it would be a fun Xmas gift for her.
Speaking of knitting, I've also restarted my cotton seamless sweater ...
And, look, mugs:
I picked up a few more completed pieces from the studio last Thursday. You can see all the photos in this set: Pottery Summer 2011
In other news, because the surgery was a lot more intense than I was expecting, I wasn't able to meet with M whilst he was here. Boo. I also haven't seen C. Boo. So, I am still in limbo as far as that is concerned. Oh, well.
I need to walk to the grocery store today, but I'm not sure if I'm able. Ugh.
Guess that's about it for now.
Have a great day!
*smooches*
Oh VUBOQ, I'm sorry to hear you are having a difficult recovery. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, and your brother is such an enabler!
The whole surgery/recovery thing sounds dastardly. I hope you can make it to work OK. My sympathies.
ReplyDeleteI hope feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteUh -- "you" is implied.

ReplyDeleteOooh, man, VUBOQ, sweetie, please heal up soon! One hates to see you so in pain and glitterless. I hope for a speedy total recovery and until then, I hope the good drugs continue!
