All the surgeries in the last year started to take a real toll (4 total, 17 hours in total). I never imagined how much the body needs to recuperate from just a smidge of anesthesia. That stuff was worse than the wound/surgical recovery. Who knew?

not for the same reasons. I'm told I'm "combative" while under.

I learned that I am apparently "combatative" when awake and on pain meds. My family apparently prefers anesthesia. LOL!

Some days are better than others-taking it one day at a time. The bay and my Ben & Jerry's keep me sane!

Would love flavor recommendations! Been drowning in Karma Sutra the last few weeks and can use a change of pace.

I've been sampling as many B & Js as possible! Chocolate peanut butter, salted caramel, phish food are some faves. I average six different flavors of the time in my freezer. I figure since I can't go to ice cream stores I just bring them to me!

it made my day.

My wife is going through the 3d circle of hell with her job and being turned loose while on long term disability.

Thankfully her chemo ended last week (according to the onc)and hallelujah she's cured (i think the jury is still out on that though).

Now she's gonna try to find a position that will that offers her healthcare insurance benefits and full time employment. She just doesn't realize how it is anymore in employment land She's really close to retirement age to.

You take care, it was good to see you again.
