Tuesday

...my heart went out to you. I had one for only 24 hours after an appendectomy for a ruptured, gangrenous appendix, and I've never been more miserable in my life. I've had 2 C-sections and 2 hip replacements, and I would happily repeat all 4 of those experiences rather then have another NG tube ever again. I told my husband not to visit me until it was out as I knew I wouldn't be able to pretend I felt OK just to keep him from being distressed by watching how crapy I felt with that damn thing in place.

I hope rehab is going reasonably smoothly.
