Recovering from surgery has pros and cons …
Cons …
- I was intubated during surgery and turns out my throat, well actually my uvula (the hangy down thing in the back of your throat) was so swollen it was touching my tongue. I’m now on a lot of steroids to get things back in order. Today I can almost swallow. Yeah. It’s a party. What I am looking at is a machine that can make slush in just the right consistency. That margarita consistency. My smoothie making blender just doesn’t get it quite right.
- I’m popping acetaminophen and ibuprofen on a regular basis. But not exceeding the max dosage for a single day.
- Pounds gained … not counting
Pros …
- Movies watched … Pride and Prejudice (the new one), Sense and Sensibility, Calendar Girls, Failure to Launch, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (which I loved but was disappointed my copy did not have ANY bonus features.)
- Ice cream eaten … lots
- Sleeping whenever I want to
- Lots of time for creativity.
- Great in-laws who have taken the boys when they were not in school.
- Remote access to work so I can check in and do what needs to be done.
I could get used to another week of this, but reality is calling. Will have to return to “normal” next week (but I still won’t be able to lift more than 10 pounds for another three weeks).
