My Surgery Adventure

I’ve been getting a lot of forced relaxation lately. I had a metal plate removed from my ankle that was left over from when I broke it a couple years ago. The pain from it had been pretty much incessant. Those long walks on the beach that I’d bragged so much about liking in my personals ads had become a thing of the past. Also, my inability to wear footwear higher than my ankle really is something of a liability here in the wintry wilds of Maine. So, last Wednesday, I went under the knife…

I guess this has been a problem before. I had to mark Yes on the foot I was having surgery on to make sure they didnt do anything to any other body part.

Idiots out west pay a dollar a minute to breathe oxygen in bars. Here I'm getting it for free! Well, probably for a lot more than a dollar a minute, but the insurance was picking up the tab. So I felt all smug for being very trendy without paying for it!
Here's the machine that goes bing, letting me know I'm still alive. I need one of these at home because now I'm not so sure.
I had a panic attack. It struck me that if theyd had problems with unauthorized parts getting cut into in the past, Id better be on the safe side... Four days later and that damned ink still wont wash out...

Back home, safe and sound but mostly immobile. The kittens love me that way, though. Im not complaining! Hospitals should have lots of cats around to curl up on post-surgery patients. Better than vallium for relaxing!

Kitties are purrfect for keeping you warm and promoting healing. Dogs too, although they are less graceful and tend to accidentally stomp.

Hope you’re back on the beach soon!
