SO HEY I SURVIVED SURGERY.

Yeah I'm kind of high on morphine and Vicodin plus my body's full of painful painful air and I'm quite dehydrated, haha. But life is lovely, and last night's positivity has not worn off, thank you headspace people!
Mr. Sandman (my beloved boss) and Death both stayed close by me today, reminding me that everything was going to be fine. Genesis also accompanied me to my room to prep in the morning (7AM!) which meant a lot. (He randomly commented on how I didn't even consider getting into a hospital robe in front of him, and I retorted "dude you have seen me without clothes before, seriously;" this started a whole jokefest and it was pretty hilarious.) Also EVERYONE in the hospital was SO nice. I kept focusing on "feeling the love in everything," and I think it showed. Literally every person I encountered was in a positive mood (Also at least four people of various ages and genders said I was cute, score). Oh yeah, and this morning Josephina actually gave me that orb of crystallized Yellow energy from the 19th of February, to help me not be anxious. It worked, haha!
I actually had an anesthesia dream but I forget what it was? Anyway waking up was hilarious; my first thought was "why does my stomach hurt so bad holy shuppetcakes." Cue the morphine! But yeah I was out of it. When I got out of the recovery room and into my patient room, Laurie actually ghosted a little on my behalf when it was too painful to get up-- she was smarter with moving around, so it hurt a lot less. Then when the pain from the air bubbles started to get REALLY awful, would you believe it started to sleet outside? Not rain, not snow... a mix of both. Talk about loyalty, I swear those two never miss an opportunity to show me they care.
I got MAJOR vertigo when I tried to stand up for the first time, and had to lie back down for a while. Also I kept drinking water like a fish because dude did I ever get dehydrated! I swear though, it took me like two-three hours to recover enough to go home (keep in mind I left the house at 6:15AM; it is currently 6PM). Also all I've eaten today is a banana, haha. I'll try to down something when I'm done typing this, but really I am too thirsty and vaguely nauseous to worry if I don't. I'll eat breakfast in any case.

As for now, I really need to rest, so I wish you all the best. Rhyming is fun.

Lots of love!
