sarameg, even if you do manage to read under the oxy, you likely won't remember any of it anyway. Quick recovery to you.

Maybe just lie there and listen to music?

So hey, all of the news is terrible, and I'm beyond freaked out. Twitter used to be fun.

Trump is already making moves to make the government more efficient. One would figure that the oil and gas industry would be indirectly setting environmental policy in an Republican administration, but now it will be directly setting it.

Yeah, I keep trying to find a corner of the internet where everything is light and fluffy to hide in, especially when I can't sleep at night, but that doesn't seem to exist at the moment. I can't even go to Buzzfeed to do fluffy quizzes without seeing Drumpf's face. So, I've been reading more. Which, I guess is good.

Yeah, Facebook is killing me. Which is sad, because that's been my socialization since I work alone. But I can't keep reading all the horrible news and remain sane.

So everyone needs to post here more, but not about the imminent destruction of civilization.

My default is NPR. Mostly, though, I am sleeping through it.

Just woke up to a call from the nurse, checking in. Was lucid enough to mention that peeing was weird, but starting to get more normal. Something not uncommon from general, but to check back in about if it continues. Mentioning it so there's a record elsewhere if I'm not as lucid as I think (though I'm on the tail of this dose of oxy- I can actually track words.)

Learning how to cough most productively to minimize coughing. Some is just residual from the cold, same as when I went in, some clearly from intubation irritation. I can tell from the depth of cough. The 3 incisions beneath my ribs hate all of them. Belly button site is much more chill. But the pain doesn't even rank lightheadedness or sweats. Just OW MOTHERFUCKER.

Time to drink and see if I feel like staying awake or need to move or just more drugs.

Yes, my reading and watching fluff tv has increased.

Take is slow there, sarameg. Sleep catch up today sounds like an objective.

There's a Chrome extension that replaces pictures of the evil tangerine with kittens. I might have to install that.

I listened (and fell asleep to) a lot of podcasts after my surgery. I wasn't reading much, and I refused to take any painkillers beyond Advil because the side effects are terrible for me. My DH reminded me that the incision sites were smaller from the laproscopic approach, but they still cut out a major organ and scooped it out, which I am repeating for you, sarameg. Rest! Heal!
