When I woke up, I cracked some jokes, was tormented by the recovery room nurses having chinese food for lunch, and was amazed my throat didn’t hurt. I got to my room and cracked more jokes. I had to explain why there was a Barbie sticker on my chart. (because I asked for one) I’m pretty certain even in her drugged state I drove my roomate nuts, because every time someone mentioned computers I told them how many sites I had. The last time, she snorted from her side of the curtain. I cracked more jokes, was declared more competent that the nursing consultants on staff, got little sleep, cracked some more one-liners in the wee hours, talked to my doctor at 7am, and as soon as I could, got up, got dressed, called Ron and woke him up so I could go the heck home.

We went to see an oncologist. Next Friday she has more surgery. And, for a while after that she will be recuperating again. I’m going to leave it for her to fill you in on the rest. It has been a challenging winter. As you might guess, I’ve been thinking about life’s challenges and may get to sharing some of those in the next week or two.

Glad you were able to use humor to get you up to the anesthesia. I am just trying to imagine you convincing people to yell bingo when they're called!!!

I love your positive attitude. Your surgical situation sounded so similar to mine except for the attitude. I was on the chatty side also, but in the end.. very tearful. Next time, I'm going to be just like you. :) Kudos to you, Andrea! I love your positive attitude. Your surgical situation sounded so similar to mine except for the attitude.

I think you would have completely baffled the people here. I was the first patient they had who wanted to know the meds used for the anaesthesia (breastfeeding), and the first person they had seen who wanted a book during recovery (wtf? it's boring in there!). So glad everyone took good care of you! wow – you are amazing! I think you would have completely baffled the people here.

And a character. Compared to my own rampant curiosity, I often wonder what goes on in the heads of those who aren't. You’re better than nosy, you are a leader among autodidacts. And a character.
