Sending quick-healing thoughts your way.

Yeah, when I had surgery on the same spot, they said it wouldn’t hurt much. I felt like I’d been hit in the head with a baseball bat for a few days. I feel you.

I had a lump carved off my chest last summer and it was the same thing. They numbed me up really good, but I could hear everything and feel all the tugging a cutting. Awful. Glad you have that behind you now.

OK, now I had a sebaceous cyst on a rather intimate part of the anatomy. I was a little freaked out, but still too shy to show my doctor. Fortunately, I had a male nurse girlfriend that I showed it to, who said to ignore it. And sure enough after A COUPLE OF YEARS it just went away.

I’m sorry you didn’t have the iPod. But at least you got some painkillers. Enjoy ‘em.

Now students, write a descriptive essay about a surgical experience you’ve had, making sure to include sensory details that paint very vivid images of the procedure…

Just think, you’ve done some field research into creating vivid composition prompts…

Honey, I am so glad for you that it’s over. Let me know when the chocolate bowl’s contents diminish and I’ll get over there to fortify you.

Ew. Ew. Ew! I am sorry you had to go through all that, but all I could think of was my c-section. I needed 3 epidurals, and then I could still hear and feel. The tugging is the worst sensation.

Ew. Ew. Ew! I am actually a little woozy, so be proud of your excellent power of description. I want some motrin, too.

I am very happy that you survived the procedure I agree that being able to feel what the doctor is doing is a terribly awful experience. Just two years ago, I had to have two moles removed from my back. Like you, I required more pain medication a few times during the procedure, but the worst part for me was being able to hear the snipping and feel the tugging of skin.

I hope you’ll take it easy today.

Poor sweet baby! Go and lie back, gathering in all of our prayers and wishes, and catch up on your TiVo.

Now aren’t you glad there are 108 of those beads?
