How are you?  You had your surgery, right?

This is how she is: Kristen stole my answer with seitan. Two days ago I would have said steak, but I had two steaks I loved at Texas de Brasil the oher night. Ill try anything once. Oh! Head cheese. I will never eat head cheese. Thisanswer is long.I hope she continues to knot while hooped up on painkillers.

It was her response to Rhodesign's intro asking if she would help SB with her vowel renewal that reminded me she could potentially be on drugs.  I hope a hopped up on drugs SB hangs out here today.

I am A-okay!  I had my surgery yesterday and I'm still in a lot of pain, but mostly only when I move and cough.  They gave me some good drugs but I haven't taken them this morning and I feel okay so far.My shoulder actually hurts way more than my incisions.  They said they had my arms at a really wierd angle during my surgery, but it's a good sign that my arm hurts worse than my incisions.My anesthesiologist was super hot, and Brett has confirmed that I made a fool of myself smiling and making googly eyes at him.  He was like 7 feet tall!  I also flirted a lot with my pain management nurse.  Apparently my love for the male species comes out when I'm in a vulnerable state.

Glad to hear you are doing well(ish).  After the couple of surgeries I have had, I always have wonky pains that really make me wonder what they did to me while I was out. That is awesome that you got flirty with the medical staff.  It's making me laugh trying to think about it.

SB I saw beer the other day that wasn't brewed with wheat or barley and I thought of you. It hadn't occurred to me that people with wheat gluten allergies might not be able to drink beer. Also, I'm glad you're recovering well from the surgery!

I didn't realize your surgery was already happening!  You know, I bet we could subsidize health care if we sold videos of patients acting goofy on anesthesia.  Patients Gone Wild!

Noisy, I am not a huge beer drinker, but I have found several pretty good GF beers.  Luckily my favorite "beer" is Woodchuck cider and it's GF.Thanks for the well wishes everybody!  It's honestly a little worse than I expected because I heard stories like, "Oh, I could have gone back to work the same day," and "so-and-so rode a bike around the neighborhood the day after her surgery."  But overall I am feeling pretty good.I think I am just a big wuss.

Also, Will is Amazing in that picture.  He's the cutest baby (little boy now though) ever.

Dude, you are not a wuss.  They cut you open and pulled out a body part -- it takes people days to recover from having their wisdom teeth removed.  I'm pretty sure a gallbladder earns you a good week of being waited on hand and foot.

Vinny08

Totally Cali. Those people you hear about are probably 1. jacked way up on pain pills, or 2. soulless vampires that don't feel pain. You are not a wuss.

I had some other stuff going on too, but I couldn't even get out of bed the night after I had surgery. So if you don't have to use a bedpan, consider yourself a rock star.

SarahBethBR

Well, then I am a rock star.  I just walked four houses down and back reeeaaaalllll slow and I feel like a badass!
