I'm writing from my parent's computer, so I'll have to be brief.
I survived the surgery! I was in the hospital from Thursday though Sunday. It wasn't easy, although everything went "perfectly" according to all the doctors. I was on a morphine pump for the first few days and in a hell of a lot of pain. Brick's boyfriend works at the hospital and came by to introduce himself to me. It was a strange way to meet someone. I had a lot of visitors-- B came twice, Cherubino came twice, my sisters came, my parents, my aunt and Meema, Slope, StarGazer, and L-- another woman from AA. I can't say I was really up for the visitors though. I've just basically been coping with pain.
I moved from the hospital to my parents place on Sunday afternoon. Things are slowly getting better-- better enough today that I'm able to sit upright at a computer. GoldenFinch is supposed to come by and see me today.
B is getting married on Saturday. I wonder what kind of shape I'll be in for the wedding.
I had a strange dream last night that I was proposed to by both Narc and by "Clint Buchanan" from One Life to Live. I accepted both proposals and then didn't know what to do. I have no clue what that dream is about except that I've been watching too much of the soap opera.
Speaking of N, he must be back from LA because he left me a voice mail this morning at 7:30 AM. I've been waking up really early this week (used to the hospital schedule) and was already in the kitchen with my mom trying to down some soupy oatmeal. He was drunk in his message and said it was "late at night" even though it was 7:30 AM. I am beginning to feel very far away from a world in which that makes any sense.
In any case, I think I'll go lay down again for a bit. Just wanted to get a post in to tell you all I am alive and recovering.
love,
h

Yeah! I am so glad to hear you made it! Keep getting better. Can't wait to hear more.
Thank you for the update, I was beginning to worry.
Hope your recovery is speedy and I hope Saturday goes well for you.
I'm glad you came through with all systems go. Feel better soon.
P.S.
In regards to the proposals, pick Clint's
I'm with Cody. Marry Clint...because if you are on a soap opera, you never really die.
I'm glad you are starting to feel better.
I'm so glad that you're on the mend; I've been wondering. Hang in there and take care of you. Feel better soon!
Hey girl, you've been in my thoughts! Make sure you take it easy and take care of yourself. Thinking of you!
I called the next day and they said you were still in recovery but that it might just mean you didn't have a bed yet. Did the nurse tell you?
I am so glad you are home and doing well. I just got back from Boston, where I was playing nanny to my sister's kids for 6 days. The little fuckers wake up at 6!
I will call you tomorrow. In the meantime, accept Clint's proposal and fool around with Bo. Right, Lil' Darlin'?
Thanks everyone! I am still on the mend... watching a lot of TV, sleeping, etc.
VJ-- I did get your message at the hospital. It was before I was moved to a room.
As for my OLTL marriage, the clint thing came out of left field. As VJ knows, I've always been in love with Todd.
Anyway, I will probably update on Sunday or Monday. I think I'm going to be back in the city by then...
love,

Glad to hear you're OK. This was a pretty big decision you made, I hope it plays out the way you wanted it to, because you deserve to have more things go your way.
I'm slowly recovering from my decision as well, although I know my situation is very different...more to come on that I suppose.
Nice to hear everything went well. I wish you a very speedy recovery.
Hope your recovery is going smoothly!
