different colored tubes for blood tests filled the space in the last sixWeeks-that's up until last week friday when i entered the operatingRoom with 18 hours notice & growling stomach. it's been nearly three days now; i have been counting each second i proudly fart & burp as my body is slowly ridding itself of CO2. i felt pregnant with the pressure-couldn't see my feet-couldn't turn in bed(good practice for later..) i got to see some really cool pictures of my insides-as if looking @ the gray screen of the ultrasound hasn't been groovy enough(i only had 5!)

got to see ovaries in all their white glory, my fallopian tubes& the motherload my cervix; my doctor found some abnormalities & burnt some tissue away, sliced some other stuff all with nothing bigger than a pen. i had a great medical team-& recovery room was a blast. i got to hear mother/son fight-between chicken noodle soup& my nausea rising in my chest. in my drugged up state i saw the sun go down, watched half an episode of the simpsons & got sick of Inhaling stale air.

the pain i have been having is slowly going away; sliding would be a better term-since i still have some leftOver drugs in my system from the surgery. i am sleeping with legsUp-stiff on my back. i count the amount of hours i sleep like a prize. i am not a rookie to the procedure i had-getting an inflated belly of CO2 nor the shot of anesthetic that knocked me out-my IV tube closed counted to 5 & i was in dreamLand. it was only 60Minutes; i didn't leave the hospital till 4hours later.

eachDay is brandNew-polished. i am looking forward to running along the marina& in the woods..walking without pain & checking out NewYork in all it's spring glory. having a bottle of my favorite raisinBeer curledUp on the couch with my lover; who has been nothing short of awesome the last few days.
