the big op

So tomorrow is my big knee operation.  I have been stressing about it, mostly because they had trouble waking me up in November from surgery.  I have decided that this one will not be so bad as it is my knee they are operating on rather than tunneling through my abdomen via my belly button.  GROSS. 

Today is my last day to get things done, then I cannot do anything but keep  my knee lifted and iced for a week, and I cannot even SHOWER!  GROSS again!  My record for no shower is a 5 day camping trip, so this will be much worse.  Most people who know me know I like to shower every day with hot water or I freak out.  I'll probably be too drugged to realize how disgusting I am though, so there's a fun part to it. 

The fun part for you will be the journal entries I make while I am on those drugs.  I do not expect them to make much sense, but I'm sure they will reveal a part of my mind that is usually kept under wraps.  You should be frightened, unless, of course, you are Gary.  It will be a gleeful opportunity to have some fun with words.  But I am thinking that Sue has outlawed Gary from my blog, she seems to think Gary is upsetting.  He really isn't, he's a great guy with a quick wit, and a very sick mind.  This is why I admire him!  I am sure he is bored stiff with the whole mousecapades I have been talking about, but he's a guy, guy's don't get the female-hating-bugs-and-rodents thing.  They just mock it. 

I am not allowed to shave before my operation.  They don't want any cuts.  So, I will have hairy legs for them and no cuts, unless I spaz out as usual and get a cut somehow. 

Time to shower!  Only one more after this for a whole week!  AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Good luck!  I'm sure you're going to do just fine.  My bigger concern is that you're going to be one smelly, hairy mess after a week.  No shower?  No shaving?  Your doctors are evil.  

It could be worse though.  You could be a chicken heading to a Tyson processing plant.  

I'll be in touch with you during your smelly, disgusting recovery!
