Cute When Pithy

[filkferengi]

When my grandma was 33, she had a hysterectomy. When I was young, my mom had an ovarian growth the size o a grapefruit. They put her on the pill, & it eventually went away.

My mom had a grapefruit, & I had a grape--an endometrial polyp that was removed Tuesday [hence the "upstaging" comment alluded to previously]. I posted the teaser sentence under the influence of some rather strong drugs [& some rather strong curiosity to see what would happen]. The drugs funked me up pretty well for a couple of days, so we're neither going there nor doing that. If I'm trashing out my liver with acetaminophen, I'll do it with the straight stuff, not with extra added, thanks. [Much as I like it, I can't do ibuprofen; it goofs with the arthritis meds.]

If not up to full speed yet, at least I'm not sleeping the day away; I'm just getting further behind on LJ. ;( It's probably at least 8 days or so now, but I'll eventually get somewhat caught up, 'cause I'm all persistent like that.

I have about decided (given my own recent experiences) that the only thing prescription painkillers are good for is putting you to sleep. Which I suppose achieves the goal -- I mean, if you're asleep you can't feel the pain, right?

On top of that, they can stop up your digestive works, which I wasn't told ahead of time.

So I sympathize. And am really, really glad you're feeling better. Keep it up, kiddo!

Good to hear that you're improving, and that the grape is gone. <g>

Wishing you a quick recovery! And congratulations on keeping more of your ovaries than your predecessors!

Glad to see you well enought to post! And I agree whole heartedly about the heavy duty painkillers. *shudder*

You have to be tough to be sick, you know. It's not for wimps! But it looks like you are coming out the other side okay, and that's excellent news!

I hope all goes well.
