OW! owowowowow...ow...OW!!!!!

There is a reason why this blog has been quiet the past several days. I've been under the weather.

The surgery, held on Monday the 15th, went fine. It hurt, but it was tolerable. Then, Wednesday the weirdness started. My left leg started aching, and charlie horsing, and feeling really.......weird. By Thursday afternoon I was in absolute agony. Never in my life have I ever felt such pain. My leg was swollen up 2 to 3 times it's normal size, and walking was out of the question. My doctor said "Take her to emergency."

In emergency they did an ultra sound on the aforementioned leg and discovered that I had developed a rather nasty blood clot. It's stopping up the traffic and causing me severe distress.

The cure is no fun. I get to lay around with my leg elevated on pillows, me high on the drugs. I get to take blood thinners and anticoagulants, along with pain killers and whatnot. I'm giving myself shots twice a day, in the tummy! Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that getting rid of an annoying hernia would lead to this. I hate hyponeedles! But here I am, in the worst pain I've ever had in my life, wanting to have a good cry and totally feeling sorry for myself.

The really depressing thing is I can have NO RUM! Sob.... Just laying around, downing and shooting drugs, and feeling miserable.

The good news? My hernia is gone, and that is the only area on my body that doesn't hurt right now. I'd laugh, but I can't find the humor.

sigh.


I so need a hug.
