Surgery SUCKS!!! April 27, 2007

I’m really sick today. It is no fun to dry heave with stitches in your neck. I’m having an allergic reaction to the bandage on the neck. I have terrible itching and it feels like its burning up through my ear. Mom and Russ are diligently trying to push fluids and food down me. It was a very rough night. I was up allot with pain nausea and my extremities falling asleep. I also was terribly itchy and sweating profusely. Not to mention the nightmares. I can’t keep my pain meds down so my neck is KILLING me. My dear sweet Rhonda came over and put a new bandage on me and brought food, which Russ informs me he spotted brownies. This of course makes his day. I think that is the best part of me being sick he gets to enjoy lots of comfort food. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is reading the blog and my e-mails. They are such a great distraction. I love being able to chuckle while I feel like crying. I’m going to try and take a nap and forget how awful I feel! Yesterday I had to be isolated because of my new radio active powers. Ty and AJ kept opening up my door and giving me long distant hugs and kisses. Ty got upset and started to cry at bed time b/c he really wanted to touch me. So Russ said he had to run really quick to me for a tiny kiss then run back. This made his night. Adam of course heard this and wanted a turn. So Russ said ready set go…Adam comes running to me then in a panic say, ” where do I kiss you?” I kissed the top of his head and he ran back to Russ as fast as he could. It was a very special moment for me. You really take for granted how special a hug and a kiss are to a child. You don’t realize it until it’s taken away. I think in the back of the kids minds they were hoping to get a little radio active material so they could transform into the real teenage mutant turtles. I’ll let you know what the biopsy results are when we know.
