Battle Wounds @ 3:17 AM

I went under the knife yesterday and then Garrison took me to Five Guys, because I asked him to. I am now in the final stages of packing for HAWAII because we're leaving in about an hour to go to the airport--I'm delaying this process to blog about the surgery.

From all that I can gather about the surgery from Garrison (I have an apt. with my doc when I get back from HI, he didn't want to tell me all the important stuff that he discovered while I was...ya know--not there) things went well and my doc found what he was looking for and zapped it outta me. I have medicine to take for pain while I recover as well as a few others (in case I get sick, etc). I don't remember much from yesterday but I do remember Tuesday and eating a burger and tweeting from the recovery room (reread tweets and I shouldn't have tweeted from the recovery room). My stomach hurts, but it's not unbearable, just weird to struggle out of bed because you have zero control over your ab strength--the things we take for granted. 

This is a sorry picture of my bloated, post-opp belly with complimentary incision scars to boot! No stitches for this girl! Just surgical super glue that I hope holds up nicely while I'm in Hawaii. Guess I should get going on this packing/prepping business because that picture is of me in my jammies (read: Hubbs gym shorts because my pjs are a bit snug for my waist right now. CURSE YOU SURGICAL GASSES AND BLOATING!!!) We have a few layovers on our journey to Hawaii so I'll be updating and tweeting the whole time. Aloha!
