Recovery (again)

Posted bysandro 6 Comments on Recovery (again)

I’m currently chillin’ in recovery after what was an apparently very successful operation. We won’t have the results of the biopsy for a couple of weeks (when they’ll also remove my 30+ staples), but otherwise I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

I’m currently on a clear diet (broth, jello, juice, etc). Which is astoundingly boring, but at the same time I’m not really able to eat very much at a time anyway. I”m in a small amount of pain, currently well managed by medication. I’m also experiencing a bout of gout (which is apparently not too uncommon after surgery), so I’m dependent of meds to get around and be comfortable. Hopefully, I’ll be leaving the hospital in the next couple of days.

It looks like I’ll be spending Thanksgiving in NYC visiting Missi’s family, and then I’ll be getting my staples out around Dec. 2. Otherwise, you can probably expect to find me at home (which is to say Missi’s place).

  1. Excellent.

    Wow…I hope thats it for the doc stuff for you…man that was karmatic load you were dealing with. I am thinking you were likely a somewhat unsuccessful pirate in a former life. So there was just some burden to be gotten rid of for waylaying that ship full teddy bears on the high seas.

  3. Ugh. I remember the liquid diet (after I had my wisdom teeth removed). Perhaps my view is biased, in that nothing at the time could be in my mouth without causing horrible pain.

    Hope you’ll actually be able to eat solids again soon. Say, by Thursday?
