I made it through my minor surgical procedure today!

[KitchenWitch]

I am in a bit of pain, but really do not care (I have pain meds).

[Haole Girl]

1. I hope you feel better soon KW!

:hug: :loveya:

[crim son]

2. Pain, when you have meds in hand, is nothing

compared to the anticipation of these "procedures". Feel better soon! :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

3. Indeed!

I love the California Healthcare laws....NOT

I had to repeat to everyone who came in to the pre-op room, in my own words, what the doctor was going to do to me...

:eyes:

[crim son]

8. Are you kidding? That's a law?

I would have LOVED that when I had my colonoscopy. :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

10. I was half tempted to tell one of them something completely different!

Probably would have gotten into a bit of trouble for that!

:rofl:

[crim son]

13. That depends. I might have said, "I'm getting a facelift,

a jawlift, a breast augumentation and a new car!" just to see what happened next!

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Isn't that what Kitchy had done?

Although I thought the car was just a rental.

:shrug:

[crim son]

20. Laughing. I don't know her that well

but I've seen a photo. I'm guessing not!

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Well, she just seemed so depressed on Fridays

when RevCheesehead would start with the :bounce: :bounce: and all poor Kitchy could manage was ^ ^ .

It was heartbreakin', I tellya. :cry:

[crim son]

23. Alas, I wasn't here on Friday evening except for a very

drunk and senseless post or two... really, I think that was Saturday a.m. You think a facelift might enhance one's mood?

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Hard to say

Whose face?

:evilgrin:

[crim son]

27. I see your point!

Not yours, surely. Mine, hmmmm, maybe.

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. I've seen yours

It works. :7

[crim son]

37. Ah, a kind man.

If you've seen mine then you know my ego is suffering lately. I thank you!

[Radio_Lady]

43. Hey, you guys. Asking you your name along the way to surgery is a

WONDERFUL thing. I used to work for large insurance companies in New England -- helping to settle medical malpractice claims. You know, the ones where the doctor took off the wrong foot? Or cut out the wrong kidney?

Keep saying your name and what they're supposed to be doing as long as you can before they give you the final sedation. It helps with medical errors, which are rampant in hospitals.

Just sayin'... Remember me? A large HMO got tangled on itself a year or so ago and prescribed more than twice as much thyroid medicine (175 mcg. instead of 075 mcg. to me for over a year and nobody noticed. Luckily, I didn't die...

[Redstone]

4. There's a surgical procedure that's minor? I guess there must be, if you're home and

posting the evening of same.

Redstone

[KitchenWitch]

6. Yup!

Same day surgery...an absolute boon to the HMO industry.

[Redstone]

14. "Git 'em in, cut 'em up, and send 'em home." I've done that.

Redstone

[KitchenWitch]

16. Yes sirree!

But since hospitals are such petri dishes for resistant microbes, I am more comfortable resting at home.

[Redstone]

17. You and me, too. Hospitals are full of sick people, and the sooner I can get out of one,

the better by a mile.

Redstone

[QMPMom]

5. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

[KitchenWitch]

7. I will!

:hi:

Thanks!

[Generic Brad]

9. Best wishes!

I hope it was a success.

[KitchenWitch]

11. Time will tell!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Kitchey! I'm so glad you're home!

Just the little time I was on the gurney has put my back out of whack. I am in my Select Comfort bed right now... :)

[liberaltrucker]

18. Ya know, it's a new DU rule to share........

22. News to me, but I'm glad you're OK. Pain meds are good.

I love 'em! :thumbsup: :D
Take good care, KitchenWitch! :hug: :loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

26. I did not want to concern anyone

and it was a very personal thing.

[Shine]

31. Got it. Well, I'm glad you're in recupe mode.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, out here on the west coast! :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

32. And also to you and yours!

My husband is doing most of the cooking (which means I need to hire a maid to clean up after him!)

[Shine]

33. LOL!! Your hubby sounds like mine.

He's truly the gourmet cook, between the two of us. Every year he does the turkey, gravy and stuffing. I'm in charge of everything else. :D

Yes, clean up is always a bitch. Good luck.

[KitchenWitch]

34. yes, he does cook well

but the kitchen ends up looking like all venues after a Gallagher show.

[Shine]

38. Well, you know what we say:

A man who can cook in the kitchen can cook in BED, too. :evilgrin:

Testify.

[KitchenWitch]

39. OHHH yeah

:evilgrin:

[BlueIris]

24. Awesome. Good luck with recovery, KW!

Enjoy the pain. meds.

[firefox_fan]
