I went in this mornin to get my adenoids out and tubes put in my ears... you'd think I'd be passed out right now, right? no... wide awake, even with the pain meds. but after my last surgery I was like this too, once the anesthesia wore off I was wide awake the rest of the day... weird huh? lol Oh well... I about passed out when they put the IV in. They were putting the IV in and the dr had just come to check on me, and I started getting roaring in my head and dizzy, and told them I felt like I was gonna pass out, and my dr was like "well you're in the best position to pass out" (I was lying down) lol but I was ok after a minute... people think I'm crazy, I can handle piercings and tattoos, and can even watch that being done... but having blood drawn or getting shots I can't even see the needle beforehand. And getting an IV, I wasn't even watching, it's just the thought of it... ugh...
Anyway, I was out of there within 2 hours, they get ya in and out fast... got my prescriptions filled... they gave me lortab, same stuff I had for my back... and I'm taking it today cuz my throat hurts so bad, but being careful with it, soon as I don't need it any more I'm throwing it out. I have ear drops for my ears too. I can tell my hearing's already better, they were draining for awhile and hurting and popping but seem a lot better already.
I'm not allowed to drive for 24 hours... wish I coulda gone to my homegroup tonight... yeah I actually do feel up to going to a meeting after that lol but hopefully I can go Thursday and hoping I can chair then, cuz my sponsor's chairing on Thursdays this month and she's passing it off to me when I can do it, I did last week :)
Wow, sorry, I'm really rambling... I'm back on meds now, but still so wired almost all the time... soon as I take my meds at night I start winding down though.
Oh... and one more thing then I'll stop my rambling on and on... lol I've been sorta "adopted" by a couple from the AA meeting I go to down here lol It's a real nice couple that I'm getting to know, they have kids just a bit younger than me. Friday at the meeting they told me they wanted me to come over Saturday for dinner and me and the wife were going to go to a flea market... plans kinda changed a bit, we didn't go to the flea market but I spent all day Saturday at their house and I got their computers networked for them, and they took me out to dinner. And yesterday I went over for dinner and did some more work on their computers, but they had to order some software and gotta get a network adapter for one of their daughter's computer, so I'll go back over when I'm feelin better... but we hung out and talked and stuff and she's been callin and checkin on me today... they're my new friends/"adopted parents" lol She's tryin to talk me out of moving away lol And honestly, getting to know people here makes the decision to move a whole lot harder... but I'm still not allowed to make plans right now... so I'm just tryin to not think about it... but I've started considering staying where I'm at and doing online courses at Iowa Lakes to start out with... I dunno, we'll see... lol
/end ramble lol Sorry, I'm just really really wired...
Glad your feeling well...Ans, your adoptive parents sound great. No matter where you are, you can apply online for school...It will follow you wherever you go right? Just need a computer! Good to hear from you!!!!! Lani

It's good to hear from you. I do hope that you'll make a speedy recovery from surgery and that all will be well for you. I'll be thinking of you.
The couple that have 'adopted' you sound lovely and I am glad that they are there for you. There was a lady who lived nearby to me until recently. and she was like a second mother to me, which was lovely.
Anyway, take good care of yourself, won't you?
Carol

Thanks y'all :) I'm doin alright, 'cept for the sore throat... hopefully will get some sleep soon, I'm still really wired... even after taking my meds tonight... just something about anesthesia is not good for me I guess, has some kind of opposite effect afterward I guess.
Yeah, my "adopted family" is great :) And I was talkin to the woman today, and she was saying how she thinks I might be real good for her older daughter, she said she doesn't think about our age difference in our friendship, but her daughter is just a bit younger than me and is in recovery also but not going to many meetings and doesn't have many sober friends... she said her daughter likes me a lot... I told her to give her daughter my number, tell her to call any time, maybe she and I can get to some meetings together too, and another meeting I go to not far from here there's a young couple close to my age I'm tryin to get to know some, I could take her there too. I had such a good time with them this weekend, but I'm usually a real quiet person, sorta a home-body, and it left me totally worn out both days I spent over there, being around people that much really wears me out, but it was good too, and I'm sure in time I'll adjust to being around people more.
Yeah.... I'm still wired, cuz I'm still rambling... lol
I'm glad your sore throat doesn't hinder you here, chica lol Get well soon, lady. Thanks for coming back & letting us know how you are. Recovery love! Danielle x
