have last night's post this morning

[cornerofmadness]

Father's day was quiet. Mostly I read. Did walk out to ooo and ahhh at dad's new shooting range. Can't wait until I'm well enough to test it out. He's got some new guns I can play with too.

I am unconsciously trying to do too much with my arm. I'm so afraid of accidentally hurting myself. It's very hard to pull on pants without hurting myself. Should wear skirts, I think. Unfortunately, last night I noticed the vein that had the IV in it burst open. My whole hand and wrist are bruised. I also noticed a clot in the old bruise from the airline. Worse, today the IV invaded vein now has a clot. I'm probably doing too much typing and yanking things with this hand.

It makes me nervous and to add to the stress mom just looks at it, feels the lump and says her usual too me, 'you're such a hypochondriac.' I get real upset with this since I hear it from her all the time, as if I'm after attention. It's like, mom, it's not hypochondria if there are real symptoms. If you mean I'm a worrywart, say that and guilty as charged

I found one of the procedures I had done. Here you go, it's all animation, no gore biceps tendon relocation

I'm still bummed about some writers stuff too. Sigh.



I wanted pictures time stamped of my dressings appearance and of the four incisions just in case something goes awry. I look so worn out greasy and fat in the first picture, all flushed from the narcotics. All the red splotches are allergic reactions to the tape.



dressings



the one in the armpit is where they moved my biceps tendon to



these are where they went in to removed the bursas, flush out inflammatory tissues and shave down the collarbone

Wow the incisions are so small. I'm always amazed at the amount of pain a surgeon can inflict with such small cuts. I bet that one by your armpit is miserable. Also, it looks like you got whacked with 2x4s with that bruising. As for your mom, geez, clots are not something to shrug off! I hope that you are feeling a little better every day, but, yes, don't overdo!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't it amazing how minimally invasive they are

the armpit one is the only one bothering me

yeah i know thanks mom

i'm probably overdoing things

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I recognize that look on you.

It's not being a hypochondriac if you know what could happen with those clots! *sigh*

Do we have to tape your arm down?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah hot and drunk

exactly

probably

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, yes, I saw that look before many times. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no doubt

[caffeinified.livejournal.com]

Huh. For some reason I thought they'd cut more skin. Which makes me think medical procedures sure have changed a lot in recent years. Of course the medical field is probably the most continuously advancing field out of any field.

But I can understand you being nervous about it. You want it to heal correctly and quickly. No one can fault you for that.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep all done using arthroscopic cameras/tools. it's neat

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

My reaction to the photos:
OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!

Worry wart, fine. Blood clot, not fine. Blood clot can be very serious. Embolism? DVT? No joking, please.

Also, if you would like, I can send you another book. I'm must about finished with the book by Dr. Micheal Stone, The Anatomy of Evil. Here's the amazon linky: http://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Evil-Michael-H-Stone/dp/1591027268 This is what the show is based on, the scale of evil. He even goes into some of the neuroscience behind "evil". (Every time I hear "evil", I think of "Spongebob Squarepants" and the super heroes on that show, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy - Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway respectivley - and how Mermaid Man always shouts "Evil!".)

yeah exactly seems like theyr're reabsorbing

if you ant to sure. i've seen the show. i need ti send you some of mine

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

#1) STOP TYPING! I will be out that direction this week and WITH a GPS unit. I *will* find your parent's house and duct tape your arm to your side.

#2) I will take books.

#3) Dr Stone writes well. It's like he's talking to you to help you study. He also shares some personal insight as well. He not only has read a lot on this subject, he has also interviewed a lot of these people. *Shivers*

#4) Want anything from the kawaii place?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

1 haha i'm using the netbook now less stressful you could come out here though

2 you and a few of my other friends and i need to list out the true crime/ghost books so we don't duplicate

3. cool

4. if you think i'd like it sure. don't know what they have

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

4. Kawaii Gifts is where I bought the maggot for you. (How's THAT for a bizarre statement??) They have shitloads of hello kitty and such things. is also where I got the chopsticks with travel case. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah that's what i thought

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

please rest more! Doesn`t LJ advertise some sort of voice posting feature? then you could type less....
Eventually someone will show up with duct tape to keep you from moving it.

take good care.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

mom did duct tape me today

my netbook was much easier to use as i learned today

thanks

[enemytosleep]

I knew it would only be a matter of time before we got naked pictures from high COM.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you can't get me high. wild shit happen

whoo hooo sexy times

[havocmangawip.livejournal.com]

REST YOU! I'll give you the advice that you give me... and my friends threatened with the wrist!

Type less! Move less! Skirts and no panties are a good idea for when you don't have to leave the house.

And hypochondriac? Hello, NOooo... um, DOCTOR. With a very REAL sense of what complications could happen.

It doesn't look like much incision wise, but they certainly DID a LOT in there from the video.

The video was REALLY cool!

I hate tape and steri strips. I think I'm allergic to something they put on steri strips and many types of sutures. (Tino is too!)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm trying. i learned the netbook is easier on me

skirt no panties is my plan

no it looks like nothing til you see the vid and that's half of what they did

isn't it a cool surgery

yeah thanks mom

me too i'm ver allergic to it

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Yowser, that's some nasty bruising!

Um, are you having anyone check up on you? Clots don't sound so good...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's all from the tape

yeah i'm waching them

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm way behind, so I hope that things are improving more from this point. That video you shared was really cool though. It was really really neat to see how they did that.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

wasn't that cool. yeah i'm a lot better now can't use the arm but all the burnt skin came off like a sunburn, damn tape allergy
