care if i kick you?

well, surgery went well.

the doctor said that they came out really well, which i consider a blessing after hearing a ton of horror stories.

and his rough time getting the iv in, wanna see?

attempt #1 (my arm)

 attempt #2 (back of my hand)

 finally! (my wrist area)

 usually my veins are good with ivs and getting blood drawn, i have definitely had my fair share of those things. but needless to say i wasn't very happy with the man after the whole iv fiasco, good thing he did a good job with the rest of it ;) he asked me if i wanted to a put an iv in him (joking, of course) i was pretty upset and didn't say anything, but i wanted to ask if i could just kick him instead. it hurt real bad.

pain meds = my bestie the next few days.

so far i am quite sore, but i have hardly been in any pain. i'm lucky.

thanks for all the well wishes! 

pictures will probably come soon of all my puffiness in all it's glory.

it's not too bad, yet.
