Mesh panties were the highlight of my week...

The very sexy mesh panties. How could I be any luckier! Please excuse the discoloration from the iodine solution. I promise that is what it is!

Wednesday was a bit of a crazy day around here. I was feeling pretty poorly so I took myself down to the urgent care facility to figure out what was wrong. After a series of tests and shuffling me from one office to another, it was determined that I needed surgery. Even as I type these words, I still cannot believe that all of this has happened. Emergency surgery is certainly not a planned event in anyone's life, and I am still attempting to wrap my mind around it even now, two days later. So, at 6:30 Wednesday night, I was hauled into surgery to repair some internal bleeding and such.

I felt like I was in an episode of ER. After the flurry of activity of checking in and getting a health history, I kissed my Scotland and they wheeled me off to the operation room. They strapped my arms and legs down starfish style, and put me under. Intubation, breathing tube, the whole banana. And my world went black for an hour and a half. Then they were waking me up, telling me that everything went fine, they had glued me back together, and I would be able to see my family soon. After a mild panic attack (really, who here didn't think that would happen, huh?) I was wheeled back into my room to see my loving parents and my sweet Scotland.

And my souvenirs? A couple of scars, a few days off work, a hospital bill, and a pair of mesh panties. That's right, in the midst of panic and mayhem, I was able to maintain my sense of humor because the awesome nurses presented me with two (count them, TWO) pairs of mesh panties for the experience! I guess they figured that if they were taking out a few of my extra body parts, they better give me something to remember them by. But that is why God gives us those extras, right? Just in case they have to take the faulty ones out. And I will leave you to gaze upon the awesomeness that is the pair of mesh panties, and guess what extra parts I am now living without...Wink! Scotland says he slipped the doc a little extra so they'd give me the full tune up. I say, while they were in there, why didn't they do a tummy tuck or a little lipo!

So I am down and out for a few days, just taking it easy around here. No worries though, I have such awesome people to help me out. Scotland has been playing gopher anytime I need anything, my mother came up and played housekeeper/therapist yesterday, and my seester Jami is going to keep me company this afternoon. I have gotten flowers, visitors and all sorts of calls and texts to keep me occupied. So it really is not so bad. I probably couldn't have chosen an easier surgery for my first experience, it has been a piece of cake so far. Course, that could be the meds talking, I may change my mind in a few days/hours. But it's all good up in he-ya. Feel free to give me a holler, I don't have a whole lot going on for the next couple a days...

And a shout out to my bro, who just got his mission call to the Georgia, Atlanta mission. So very excited for my little Mo.

Peace out to everyone, with all their parts or without!
