Hospital day 5, I think, good drugs.

Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 11:00pm

This morning I woke up at 3 am my time, that was OK because I fell asleep around 9pm, but what is there to do at 3am, so i plugged in my mp3 player and started to listen to 3 CD's that Marie had made for me about a year ago, well it didn't take long before I was crying again, it's funny how some of the smallest things can mean so much to you and I am not even on hormones.

today was a big day cause I was able to get out of bed after Dr Suporn checked me out, I did have to wait until 10am for the nurses to help me and make sure I didn't pass out after laying down for 5 days and with their help took my first shower and the first look at myself in the mirror, sure looks different but it is so swollen right now if I was to wear the wrong pants or whatever it would be the biggest Camel toe you had ever seen.

The IV was removed this morning, the connection is still there just in case so now I only have the one hose coming out of me, the drain was removed yesterday, the catheter gets removed the last day i think then you have to pee on your own or it gets put back in and have to walk around the hotel like that so the last day I am going to drink all the water I can.

After the shower I thought I was going to have to go back to bed but the nurse said i could go next door and visit with my friend Camila, we had only met the day she checked into the hospital, I had never met her before only on email, she had her operation the day before me, Camila is so beautiful in mind and body, I am looking forward to recovering with her.

I am back in my room now to rest then maybe a little walk about later.

One thing about the drugs, they don't coat them to make them taste good, they are nasty.

I took pictures but I am not going to show you.
