Catch of the day

I'm writing from inside a cloud of V.ic0din, and it's 5:30 am, so please forgive me if I make no sense or start describing the pink elephants on parade or whatnot.

The surgery went well, though we almost ran out of gas en route (and I had even asked him if he needed to get gas! Ah, men). Our catch on this fishing expedition: 3 small polyps and 2 teensy patches of endo that were respectively yanked and "zapped" (I believe that's the official medical term Dr. Spunk used). Unfortunately, those are all the scintillating details I have, as Dr. Spunk came out and had a tete-a-tete with my guy while I was out cold.

After an hour and a half on the road, we were home. My wonderful, wonderful man made a delicious dinner of salmon with capers, roasted fingerlings (yes, I am addicted to fingerlings), quinoa and spinach. Then I passed out on the living room floor.

That brings us to today. My poor guy has to go in early to dig himself out from under the mountain of work that has likely piled up during his absence. I've got lots of DVDs, some good books, a few cooking magazines, lots of yummy but easily digestible food to keep me company in his stead. I'm looking forward to a day of drug-induced haze prone in front of the laptop, neurons randomly firing.

I'm glad it went well! I hope your drug induced haze keeps you feeling ok, if a little woozy.

I'm so glad it went well! Take it easy (particularly when getting up and down) and enjoy your DVDs. One funny story for you - when I had my lap, we asked my in-laws to come in to help since Sweetie had to go back to work and I didn't want to be home alone in case something happened. The day after the surgery, I was very excited that I had my first "number 2" with little difficulty (I imagined I was just going to bust everything) that I told my mother-in-law. The look of horror on her face will forever be etched in my mind.

I'm so glad it's all over, and it sounds like they did some good excavation while they were in there! Any pain, or just happy Vicodin haze? Enjoy your relaxing and recovering!

Glad to hear that you are back home, and that the surgery went well.

Hope you feel better soon - it's sounds like you're being well looked after!

I'm so glad it well and incredibly envious of your fun vicodin ride. Not to mention having a husband who can pronounce Quinoa.

great news, so glad it went well. and your dinner sounds awesome, and very healthy! I love roasted fingerlings too, they taste like butter, but I don't grow my own and I bet you do...

had to laugh at mrs.x's #2 comment. mine was not as easy, and I definitely would not have shared with MIL for the same reason...

take good care of yourself in recovery, enjoy the movies and rest. ~luna

I hope your weekend has been restful. Really glad the polyps were small and the endo patches were zapped.

Dr. Spunk! LOLOLOL!

Did you get a picture? I got a picture of my pretty polyp, all veiny and whatnot. I hung it on the fridge in loving memory.

Kidding.


Glad it went well.

Woo hoo, Vicadin!
