My newest scar!

Good afternoon! I just got out of surgery about 3 hours ago and I figured I would write why it's all still fresh in my stoned mind. I got to the hospital at 7:30 this morning and all was going well till they took my blood oxygen level. It seems that my pneumonia is still hanging around. The 1st reading was 90 which is not very good. They decided to consult with my surgeon and see what he thought before they continued. He came in and I explained to him that it jumps all over. So he listened to my lungs and did the test again and I passed. Woooo Hooo! The nurse came back in and continued to get me ready. I got my IV in and was ready to go. They wheeled me in to the room and the adventure began. I did notice that the room was freezing.... and no music was playing. Most of my surgeries have had some great tunes on to help the patient, me, relax. Not so today. They transferred me to the operating table and strapped me down....... my legs and both arms. Some time during this, the Dr snuck in the shot. I commented on it and he said good night. That was all I remembered till I heard the nurse saying you're back. I don't remember the trip back to the room very well but I made it and slowly started to wake up. They gave me Graham crackers and Dr Pepper and then 2 percocet. They told me I could go when I got dressed so I began that adventure. Yah, getting dressed stoned, in pain, is an adventure in itself. But, I finally made it and I got to go home. I am very sore and I am betting its only going to get worse. I am swollen and it hurts. Can't wait till I get more pills.! Anyway, the foto isn't from today, but it does show a tiny bit of the mesh that they put in me. This foto came from when he took out my appendix. Well, I am tired and I think I will go watch boring daytime TV. Jeep on my friends!
