hurting in mn

there is a small piece of plastic in my eye that will remain for life. it even has a serial number.

the surgery: scleral buckle

time: wednesday, later than scheduled, around 2:00pm

the eye: left

the doctor and nurses: awesome

the anesthetics: i could hear everything (i think), see nothing, feel almost nothing

my retina: completely sucks. had more holes than he thought. and apparently i had thick fluid in there... really thick =)

the iv: hurt... lidocane x 2

my eye: hurts like hell, red, hard to open, bruised, feels like i have lots of eyelashes in there, or worse

the husband: how did i get so lucky? he totally loves me to think i'm sexy with eye gauze taped to my eye. he even tapes it for me =)

ibuprofen: doesn't go well with my stomach. found out the hard way.

body heat: 94 degrees for most of yesterday... brrrr

vicodan
prednisone
atropine

best line: we don't usually see people under 70 back here!

the school newspaper: done and into the printing office at the do... what a hard worker i am (well, it should have been done in december or january.)

back to work: not sure yet...

hey jenny sue!
why yes, planning for a sub is almost more work than actually teaching. i'm sure yours is worse than mine with all the different grades. i had a really awesome sub for most of the time, though, which made it easier. i think we'll be here for easter... do i forsee a drink date in the future?
maybe we'll have to take shawn out...
