so another two surgical procedures not to mention a complete severance ( as in removal) of a nerve added to my surgical history. here i am, two weeks later, i'm still somewhat "high" ( more like "bangag") from my generous doses of narccotics (courtesy of nice orthopedic doctor). doctor instructed "do not put put weight on casted foot and ankle, do not use left extremities at all for now, do not drive, elevate, ice it up all the time, clear liquds only, " blah, blah, blah...well, if you know the rebel in me, i am sort of stubborn so i simply did not follow all instructions. i went to a thai food resto 5 days after surgery and guess who i saw, TINA!!! hahaha....i hoping i can get me a crab cake but all i did was stare at it and watched poor BF 'mr. dimsum' gobble up two plates of largey entrees and take home some more.
perhaps you may say, i am being punished due to my stubbornness that i still could not tolerate solid food. gG2 gatorade & BF mom's chinese congee or tsuk or "goto" or lugaw in tagalog has been a reliable sustaining diet. the only only thing i can swallow for no anyway. still on PRN dilaudid ( yes, folks, i am upgraded to stronger dilaudid from the already heavy vicodin. and the annoying worker's comp insurance made sure i now OWN a 24 hour ice machine (like the ones they have in ortho floor, i swear!) so i don't need the leaky ice packs made by my RN mommy. hahaha. THAT's BEEN MY FABULOUS LIFE , so far .
i wanted to send individual THANK YOU's to everyone but it will take me a lifetime to do that. so THANK YOU to everone who prayed from my wlshire umc family, who wished me to get well whethe by tx from pinas, to nyc, to all roud the world, the lovely emails and comments, to all who checked if i was alive and survived the multiple doses of morphine ( hehhe...i'm alive---i'm a cat with nine livES - don't you know that yet?),to all who visited at home ( hopefully, i wasn't demented enough to forget your name - i hope i remembered you!!! hahah) and of course, my 24 hour NURSES at home & super sweet BF who took care of me and still taking care of me for their UNCONDITIONAL tender loving care despite my bitchiness...i owe you so much ndi will make it up to all of you. I LOVE U!
above all,MY GOD and SAVIOUR, My mASTER HEALER, i never doubted your power to heal me. hopefully, i can be up an running in no time. cure me fast oh Lord i can serve you more.
i guess, what am trying to say is, i'm still in pain...and i still need aides in a lot of thngs...but in no time, i will be ok. i tld you guys, i will be a BIONIC woman in no time. so fearnot. thanks again...GOD loves you...so DO I.
THANK YOU....straight from the STUBBORN PATIENT
