Dramas

Howdy. Well, got back from hospital about an hour ago. so far pain free (not for much longer, I expect). survived the op (luckily - I was mistaken by one nurse for a gall bladder-ectomy patient; I declined her offer graciously, stick to the teeth for today. Apart from a bit of extra bleeding which is taking longer to clear up on one side, things went ok (for those medically minded, they use propofol as the anaesthetic, with no premed, had me on Hartmans, not much else interesting, but post-op antibiotics (benzyl penicillin) at least a couple of hours after the op which I thought was odd). Oh, they also gave me neurofen AS WELL AS dexamethasone pre-op, and also dex post op as well. I asked the nurse aout mixing the NSAIDS with the cortisone, but she said it was the anaesthetist's routine. (?)
Anyway, enough boring drivel.
The other drama today is that when I got home my parents told me that my cat has disappeared. :_(. I have been calling her (whilst holding frozen peas to my telly-tubbie sized cheeks and mopping up excess vampire-like blood from my mouth!) But she still hasn't come back. Dad feels really bad becuase he left her for 5 minutes outside on her own and then wasn't there when he came back.
So please pray for my kitty to return to me!!
Anyway, getting the hang of the comments thing - thanks! I see some of you are cleverer than me, you can choose 'other' in the list and write you name there instead of choosing anonymous. I might get back to some of you by email. Just remember that everyone else will be able to read your comments as well.
I will try to get some photos of my dispropotionately large cheeks, (possible in shades of black, green and purple by tomorrow) and post them here for your entertainment (don't tell me I never do anything fo you!)
till then take care (and after that too of course!)...........
