I don’t count the day of surgery as a recovery day because it’s such a traumatic day I don’t think you’re body can begin recovering for about 24 hours. It’s just in shock of sorts for a while. Sort of like “what the hell was that?!?!” Then the next day it’s like “Ok, we need [...]

surgerupdate
Surgery went very. In a lot of pain and on percocet so if this doesn’t make since, don’t laugh at me. Ok?
I went in expecting to lose one ovary with possibly 2. I walked about with…. 2 ovaries!!! Yes, 2.
How? Well they got in there and couldn’t even see my ovary because I was filled [...]

Surgery 10/28
I’m nervous but the meds are helping to calm me for now.
Tomorrow at this time I will hopefully be on the road to recovery with one less ovary. Maybe two less ovaries, but hopefully just the one.
My laparascopy with left salpingo-oopherectomy (ovary removal) is scheduled for 9:30 am, but I have to be at the [...]

playwriting
I’m entrenched in playwriting. While it’s fun, it’s also a pain in the neck. lol
I’m loving it while at the same time hating it like a root canal! It’s fun to create a play, envision my actors acting it out this weekend for me for my rough draft, etc., but formatting a play is like [...]

bad night

Sheehan’s Syndrome
So… yesterday was my day of pre-op physicals and pre-anathesia teaching. It was a long, long day of sitting in uncomfortable doctor’s office chairs, being poked at with needles, being subjected to ekg machines, and being forced into gowns with holes in the front and back (what’s the point really?!?). But it did reveal and [...]

The Twits are wonderin’
Jeanne and I have been Twittering about my recent actictivy – of which I’ve been hush about to her. This hasn’t been cause it’s secret or anything, just cause 1) I haven’t been on my computer in 3 days (major withdraw!), 2) I shouldn’t be on it for long 3) I’m in uncomfortable pain and 4) I was [...]

Reply to Jeanne’s Comment
This was going to be merely in reply to Jeanne’s comment on my post titled, Sleep. But, since I wasn’t sure if I had hashed out how I had gotten here in neuro land on this blog before, I would just post it for everyone.
Here goes:
Thanks, Jeanne. My Neuro is actually great in the regards [...]

Sleep
I am not getting the sleep I need to be getting. We all know how important sleep is. I know how important sleep is, yet I work myself to the bone just to get burnt to a crisp and tucker out. I’m about to nod off (and will be heading for bed in a minute), [...]
