[LJ-CUT TEXT="For me to fill in later"]
Hi, I'm back! I got home from surgery
__an hour ago,
__this morning,
__yesterday,

and this is the first time I'm coherent enough to post. I'm in
__so much pain I can't think,
__some pain,
__la-la land due to Vicodin,
__my office,

and using the crutches I
__can't move at all.
__can get as far as the bathroom.
__look very goofy trying to climb stairs.

__A pre-op nurse
__The anaesthesiologist
__The surgeon
was really hot and I hope I didn't say anything lewd to
__him
__her
while under IV sedation.

Rob has been
__a great help,
__grumpy as hell,
__missing since last night,

and I can't wait until I am strong enough to
__be less of a burden.
__get back at him.
__dial 911.

Thank you all for your good wishes. I'm sure I'll be
__needing your support a lot for a while.
__up and around again soon.

Great idea! ;)

Uh-oh -- I had a really cute anæsthesiologist -- I hope I didn't say anything too embarrasing to him.... Now I'm worried!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

If you did, and if he was really cute, I suspect you're not the first. :-)

When I had oral surgery (a rotten tooth and a wisdom tooth removed) at UCSF many years ago, I remember well that the dental student who assisted was just stunning, and I lay there, bleeding all over the drape, drooling, wanting to mumble, "Can I have your number?"

I didn't actually ask, though.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I *think* I'm safe... nobody was absolutely stunning. Phew. :-)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

I'm amused by this, but I can see the point. :-)

Good luck!!! *hugs*

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Oh, this isn't *serious*. You know me better than that! :-)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

Oh, this isn't *serious*.

Shocked. Shocked, I am. ;-)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I'm sure! ;-)

[layer.livejournal.com]

will be sending good thoughts your way tomorrow. hope all goes better than we all dream.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! 8-) Me, I'm almost too excited to be nervous. Almost.

[hopeforyou.livejournal.com]

Good luck and heal well!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

[sebab.livejournal.com]

hahaha, this is great.

good luck!

(BTW now I'm wondering whether I said anything about my nephrologist while sedated. oy.)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

*chuckle*

I suspect the cute ones get used to it. But that wouldn't stop me from being embarrassed if *I* were the one to say anything!

[samtosha.livejournal.com]

Good Goddess, apparently I have been under a rock, I did not realize your surgery was tomorrow. Good luck tomorrow, calming, healing, good surgery mojo headed your way :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) (And nah, not a rock, you have your own stresses on your mind, eh?)

[portia.livejournal.com]

Best of luck tomorrow! Can't wait to read all about it once you are functioning again!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll race ya back to work.

[cyan-blue.livejournal.com]

Thinking good thoughts!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm thinking nervous thoughts. :)

[ericainohio.livejournal.com]

Oooo, CJ! I'll be thinking really, really good thoughts for you. (and I hope that at least one of the personnel is really cute. Hey, ya gotta have something to look at, eh?)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Heh heh, as long as I don't make a COMPLETE FOOL of myself.

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

If what happened with Dan is any indication, anything you say while under IV sedation will be totally garbled and not understandable :-)

You should make up a surgery Mad Lib!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I like that idea.

Mad Lib!! I'll think about that one!

[billeyler.livejournal.com]

Hoping you'll be up and around and doing the Snoopy happy dance soon!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[lkeele.livejournal.com]

Hey, are you having surgery? Or did you already have it??

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

It's done now! I just got home. :-)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Better reply:

When I wrote this post, it was still in the future. I wrote that up to be silly. Now, it's done, and I'm home resting on the couch.

[irascignavojo.livejournal.com]

Even if the posting wasn't serious, the OP is, so I'm hoping and wishing you all the best personell, and luck where needed.

And even if the posting wasn't serious I'd like to see it filled afterwards.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Hmm, ok, I'll fill it out then! 8-) 8-)

There, filled out!
