-6 Days?

I can’t count.

But I am back.

Well, have been back for 2 nights now, constantly oscillating between a headache in some random part of my brain or a mild high from painkiller (probably Tylenol. who knew).

I have my head sliced from past left ear almost to my right ear, 57 staples, and left frontal lobe all fortified with cement! Superhuman yet?

Apparently when they went in to cut the AVM out, they found two smaller ones underneath.

How do you just find little AVM’s underneath others while cutting one out and just what…

I am going to spare you the whining of how they are treating my post neurosurgical pain with Tylenol and actively tried to kick me out of the hospital after 3 days despite the fact that I stayed one of the nights in the ICU spending most of the night throwing up blood or having nosebleeds.

But no more needles and blood and glucose pricks and shots and insulin and stuff is good news to me.  Even though I still can’t move and thinking about thinking puts me in pain. 

I swear all I do all day is think about Tweeting because the actual prospect of Tweeting hurts too much to even think about and all I am thinking about Tweeting is how Tweeting will hurt and I mentally tweet the same thing 30 times because I can’t get past the “Moving is going to hurt and my head hurts already.”

I live my life very productively.

That being said, Texting and Twitter are easiest ways to get to me, and calling may not have that good of an effect.  Or long blocks of text. Keep it short. :D

Thank you all for all your support! Now I am just going to go… Loop on the couch for a few hours again…
