I was waiting for another post on the wife's surgery thread to show up, so I
could find it. The thread seems to have petered out just in the nick of
time.
She's home, folks! Doing OK. Not great. It's interesting her having those
bags on her and stuff, but we'll get through it. Lots of outpatient stuff
to follow, which might or might not trip another $1,000 deductible, and
she's on disability for six weeks. Wheeeeeee.
We'll get through it. She's alive. That's the main thing. This whole deal
was pretty damn ugly.
I got a pedometer for Christmas. I've been wearing it all day. You're
supposed to work at doing 10,000 steps a day for better health and stuff.
Well, I logged 12,000. My butt hurts because I've started tightening up
muscles I forgot how to use.
I'm thinking, now that I'm back in good spirits, that maybe the solutions to
all these woes is a nice Russian mail order bride. She could take care of
SWMBO, and take care of some of the things that SWMBO isn't going to be
taking care of for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time with those bags
hanging out of her, and about 300 metric feet of healing incisions. A nice
pretty Russian mail order bride who knows how to cook and clean and, um,
perform other duties.
Just have to get gay marriage approved and constitutionalized. Polygamy has
to follow. Then I get my second wife. :)
(Yeah, right. I can barely afford ONE of these critters.)
I'm glad she's home. I'm way too familiar with the hospital staff. Hell of
it is I never did use the elevator. Took the stairs, like that commercial.
My love handles are still here, and I gained 15 pounds. That sucks. I
should sue the people who made that commercial for false advertising. :)

Good to hear. You'll get through this, but the healing up at home time
seems to be the worst part in some ways. Most people tend to get very
irritable after a week or so of not being able to do what they want to
do. Just hang in there, smile, and let the ill temper go by you.
Meanwhile just be thankful that she is home and doing better.

Ohhh... bad plan. One wife is more than any normal man can deal with.
Two will mean that you will have to go to driving long haul and only
being home 3 days a month. Sheesh. I hide in the shop regularly to get
away from one, two is just unimaginable.
>(Yeah, right. I can barely afford ONE of these critters.)
And there is always that point!

Exercise won't take weight off if you are under stress. Stress
inhibits the burning of fat for some reason, but if you keep at the
exercise they say it will eventually do the job. I'm trying the same
type of thing, so hang in there.

Not yet on either score. So far, she stays on the couch all day, and then
at bedtime she lays down on the couch, on a huge pile of pillows to keep
her head up. Going on two nights now.
It's kinda like she's still in the hospital, only it's a shorter walk to
visit her now.

Well, the first one is a comfortable 80 miles away, and the other one would
be, what, 6,000 miles away? I could swing that.

She's used to me. I probably told her that already. :)

Glad to hear she is doing fine. I also got a pedometer for Christmas.
It looks like I'm doing 6-7 miles on a typical day (have gone as far
up as 12 miles when I go hiking), although it feels like more since
there's a lot of up-and-down hills. Funny how my shoes are worn out
and torn (they embarrass my S.O.), but sooo comfortable. Walking is
good!

That is great news. I assume that she has retaken the laundry job from
you. Has she also started to buy new versions of the stuff you trashed?

Good to hear the Mrs. is home and doing better. Now all it takes is time.
With six weeks off she will just likely start to feel human again. Plenty
of time for the mail order to come in and take care of things. :-)
Don't forget about the penalty for bigamy though Michael......... That's
right; two mother-in-laws....
Take care, and all the best to you in '05

Hey, congrats. It's good to get out of the hospital as soon as they let
you go. First, it gets you away from the *^% drug-resistant bacterial
infections that are becoming more common at hospitals. Second, everyone's
morale starts improving immensely (priceless).

You better not let her see that or she'll be up outta that bed whipping up
on you, bags/bulbs/foleys and all. :-)
We are glad she's doing well. You will know when success is achieved
because she'll be back to yelling at you for making noise and tracking
sawdust in the house.

What's that old saw? "Polygamy is the act of having one too many wives.
Some would argue that monogamy is the same thing." :-)
