All Dusted and Clean, I am.2003-05-03 - 10:27 p.m. All went well yesterday and I'm still alive. The morning didn't start out so nice though. I woke up to a house that was 65 degrees. Seems the furnace decided to tell me who's boss. Bunn couldn't figure out what was wrong when he got here so I called the hot furnace guy. He said he'd be here around 3 or 4 that afternoon, and off we went to the hospital. Got there and got all checked in. They said Kurt could come with me to the "holding area", but he had to don a few extra garments. In case any of you are wondering, he looks very cute with a blue paper hairnet, blue paper smock, and blue paper shoe covers. LOL Where's the fucking camera when you need it? Thank God there was no camera though since I not only had on the blue paper hairnet, and the backless gown, but I wasn't allowed to wear makeup or jewelery. It wasn't pretty, although I did sneak a little foundation on. I told Kurt not to tell anyone that I snuck it on if I died on the table. I was so very glad that he agreed to the lovely outfit in order to come with me to the "holding area" because even though they told me that I was getting vacuumed out at 11 a.m., they didn't wheel me into the operating room until a little after noon. So then they take me in and put the oxygen mask on me, and that's pretty much all I remember until I woke up in the recovery room. The nurse by my bed said they would take me to the "phase 2" room as soon as I was fully awake, and they'd give me cookies and Tylenol there. I told her I was kind of hoping for Vicodin and a cheeseburger, but no dice. I got my Fig Newtons and Tylenol, and Bunn brought me home. Oh, btw - I'm now on the 3 week celibacy plan. Lucky me. Although... The instruction sheet only says I can't have "intercourse" for 3 weeks. I'm thinking that means I'm good to go for oral, no? Anyhoo, we stopped for sandwiches on the way home, got here, ordered 8 Mile on PPV, and then Mike, the hot furnace guy showed up. He said I needed a part that he'd get Saturday morning since the supply house was closed. Good thing Kurt was here to keep me warm last night. We got up this morning, got showered, Mike showed up to check to make sure he knew what part I needed one more time, and left to get said part. Fuck. Me. Supply houses were all closed - he checked 3 of them. Guess who has no heat till Monday... Kurt and I went out for lunch around 11, and then he headed home to catch Brian's 1 o'clock baseball game. I had a hair appointment at 3:30. I napped for a while before. I slept for shit last night again even though I took 3 Tylenol 3s before bed. My hair chick called me at 3 and woke me up to tell me she was done early and I could come in then so I did. Got back home around 5ish. Kurt called and said he was taking the boys and one of their friends to a movie and asked if I wanted to go. We saw Malibu's Most Wanted. It was dumb yet very funny. I laughed a lot. Well, I'm getting awfully sleepy so I think I'm going to balance my checkbook and hit the rack. Don't worry - I'm taping SNL. I know. You care. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes on "the procedure". Lucky for Kurt, I pulled through. Hasta! Looking back... Just Pix - 2005-02-08
