And yet another surgery...

[ducky01]

Yeah, so I've already had a toe amputated, and had skin grafts on the foot because the area that was amputated was not healing properly. I've been plagued with one foot infection after another all year, chronic calluses and foot ulcers that have not healed or improved, and added an artificial femoral artery to improve the circulation in that leg.

Hey! When life gets all quonky on ya, I say: GO READ SMUT FANFIC!

There are some new 'Miracles' fics in the Yuletide archives (http://yuletidetreasure.org/), as well as a silly 'Pushing Daisies' thingie I wrote, wheee!

*insert hugs here*

Oooh, smut! It's such a cute, friendly little word! Smut, smut smut! And it rhymes with other fun words, like butt and mutt and putt and nutt and "whutt?" Okay, I have bookmarked the page for my reading this week. But, before I move along to the smut, I gotta finish my Sunday School lesson...

Ya gotta vent! And your vents are few and far between and LOL funny even when you are worried and in physical pain. God bless you {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
PS Take a comfort object with you to the hospital. The comfy couch throw, the ratty looking fuzzy bedroom slippers or the picture of Hugh Laurie, preferably as Greg House and not from the Jeeves and Wooster series or the Blackadder series I saw on PBS in the early 1990's. ;-)

The only butt kicking I expect is you giving your problems a swift one.

{{HUGS}}}.

There better been a young, studly male intern who will give you sponge baths and massages there in the hospital.

[ducky01]

Oooh, young, studly and male is good. Sponge baths and massages is even better! But, at the rate my life goes, I will get nurse Edna, who used to work in a women's prison as a cafeteria bouncer and has no sympathy for sick people.

I got a confy couch blankie for a housewarming present, so it will be going to the hospital with me. It has deer on it, and is so cozy, even my non-cat likes to curl up in it. She kind of blends with the colors, so I will have to make sure she isn't wrapped up in it when I go. As for Hugh Laurie in Black Adder, he did look kind of cute in the lipstick and powdered wig, but I prefer him as House, too. Definitely not as Stuart Little's Dad. He looked too much like this guy I went to school with in that one.

Damn that stupid, drunk illness fairy! *kicks her*

I know you're tired of being in the hospital. Hopefully, this will be the surgery that fixes a great deal of your problems so you can get some relief from your pain. That's what I hope for you, anyway. *Huuuuugs*

Good to hear that your heart is on the mend. ^_^

[ducky01]

I'll just be happy if I can walk around long enough to go to the grocery store without having to take two days to recover from the experience! I'm hoping to run into the illness fairy while I'm there. I am going to give her a good talking to, and if that doesn't help, I am going to do bad things to her with the rubber gloves I shall be purloining accidentally putting in my suitcase before I leave. Of course, during my repooperation time, I intend to begin writing my best-selling book, "It Sucks to Be Me." In which I will devote an entire chapter to rubber gloves and other fun medical equipment. *Nods*

I'm sorry you're still having so much trouble. I hope the surgery goes well and that this year brings you nothing but good things!

[ducky01]

Thanks, Denise! I'm loving your icon. I shall use it as my mantra during my next foray into the hospital. This way, when they catch me playing with the machines that go beep-beep, I will explain that I'm going through my happy childhood now, since I missed it back when I was younger. Let them be the grownups - I'm going to whine and demand ice cream!
