don't askNow Playing: "Small Soliders" - ancient VHS, again.
Sorry - today's MOTS (More Of The Same). Follow up appointment went well, and as expected, nothing was removed. They said I'm healing well, and there's no sign of infection, which is what everyone's worried about. A reopened suture is a hotbed for that, and it's very dangerous. Finished in time to talk to Billing and get Dearest Son from school...but for some reason, one of the few stitches that never has bothered me is mega-painful now. I darn near exploded when I sat down in the car, and was honestly wondering if they'd tightened the stitches somehow. I know they didn't, but why did it hurt so d@mn bad now, when it didn't an hour prior ? Oh, well - follow-up in two weeks. School will be out by then ! :) And I lost two pounds since the last visit.
Toughed it out, though, and came home to the glory that is half a Lor-Tab and a three hour 'nap'. It included several Lego-based reinactments of events chronicled in Small Soldiers from the amazing mind of Son and the memorable soundtrack crash of dozens of multicolored plastic bricks. Yeah, not a lot of rest there. But it was his version of 'Entertain Mommy Theater', and I appreciated it. He even wrote me a 'get better soon' note at school, and you *know* that's going into my memory box ! Who says live theater is dead ? I think it helped - the pain is now in occasional waves, where it was constant when I lay down. Our sweet son...
Got the grocery shopping done earlier, and bought a fat-quarter package of several luxe green fabrics - a sheer pale green with gold stripes, a slightly darker green with silver iridescent dots, a medium green stretch velvet, and a slightly darker raw-silk piece. The package said 'six pieces', but as you just read, there were only four. At least I got it on a decent markdown.
Looked at the dolls, not much new. I've discovered that 50c/can generic beef broth with spaghetti noodles boiled in it is delicious, so I bought several more cans. Also some angel-hair pasta - it's fun to eat, and cooks faster, too. Son has a Transformer Lunchables for Friday, and he's so excited. He had a balloon - bright orange ! - from the bank tied to his booster seat waiting on him, and he's happy.
Well, dinner's needing to be made. Don't worry, Beloved Hubby either does it or we have easy-to-make stuff. He wants me to heal more than he wants meatloaf ! Hope your evening is pain-free !
