Well. The frog has been remiss.

Most importantly, last Tuesday i had surgery to remove my gall bladder. OMGWTF. i did NOT know that three little cuts could hurt so fucking much. i've always been a bit sensitive to anesthesia, so after i finally got into surgery at around 1pm, i didn't actually get out the hospital until about 9pm because i kept throwing up - which, i'm sure you can imagine, just made everything feel so much better.

O.o

Side note: i wasn't aware that the gall bladder was intimately tied to things such as a vomiting, coughing and sneezing. Doing any of these things literally makes me cry like a little bitch.

i haven't been getting a whole lot of sleep because i can't really be in one position for a long time, though last night was better. i just now found out that cheddar cheese is apparently something i can no longer eat, because after i had some this morning, it tried it's very best to claw itself out of my body ASAP. OMG, so much pain. It radiated from the painful hole where my GB used to be all the way into my sternum. i even had pain medication IN me, so i can't imagine what it would have been like without it.

i haven't really noticed much of a difference from my symptoms before, but that's probably because the pain has been taking up most of my concentration - though i have noticed that except for today's cheese debaucle, i haven't really been nauseated. i just can't eat very much at one time - i'm getting full very quickly.

i haven't returned to work yet - i go back to the doctor tomorrow so he can give me the go ahead.

tammy - thanks for the note, i'm hoping mine works out too.
