Days and days and days.

Hola Dear Readers!

My laptop decided it had Alzheimer's and I've been unable to update. I am doing well and should have arrived home tomorrow, but on Friday afternoon, I developed a blood clot in my right neck and arm. I've been on heparin ever since. Apparently when the body undergoes surgery, it acts crazy, like stopping insulin production and upping clotting factors. Once my clotting factor has been stabalized, I'll be able to come home, probably Tueday, but I'm hoping maybe tomorrow.

In the meantime, it's been a haze of napping and tv-movies and pain medication and blood-draws and IV changes, though I'm feeling better every day. Obviously my chest still hurts but my leg feels better and I should have some exqusitely yucky pictures as soon as I get home. I've reached a saturation-point with hospital food and daytime television. I'm very grateful my dad brought in his laptop for this much needed internet break.

Thank you all for your support and flowers and well-wishes! I'll be back to full-force soon!

We're looking forward to you being back! (Although, honestly, I'm not looking forward to the yucky pictures...)

I'll keep thinking good thoughts for you, and you keep getting better. Deal!

I'm definitely looking forward to the pre-, mid-, and post-op pics ;)

It's so good to hear from you!

I hope the clotting factor stabilizes soon. TV movies aren't good for the brain. :P

So, I have to ask:

When Jessica woke from her coma pregnant with Snake's baby, and Dr. Blake was racing to aid her, but he was driven off the road by his mistress's twin sister, and his car exploded, and the evil twin turned out to actually be the real sister, but they'd switched roles after being trapped in the cabin following the avalanche that was started when James shot his supposedly-dead ex-wife because she wouldn't reveal the location of the gold coins her grandfather stole from Jesse James and buried somewhere on the estate, but not before signing a secret confession that named Marcia his true heir, but she doesn't know this because her plane crashed somewhere in the tropics, and now she has amnesia but is being nursed back to health by Paulo, who really likes her, but can't speak because as a missionary, he's taken a vow of silence, did anyone remember to turn off the coffee pot at the wedding?

Glad you're getting out! How are you feeling?
Jacquelyn told me about the clots and I could tell she was worried and missed you a lot. :)
I'm glad everything went well!

[celestialgldfsh.livejournal.com]

Yay, you're posting! That's a good sign unto itself. I hope your blood begins happily clotting again soon and you're able to return home without further delay.

Great news Jeremy. I have talked to Jackie and received updates. One day at a time, and it sounds like you are about ready to be sprung from that place. Best wishes for your recovery.
