hellooooo everybody

hi! i'm alive! not so bloggy during recovery, it would seem, but alive and well nonetheless. i apologize for my bloggish reticence, but i've been very whiny and selfish post surgery and mostly very tired and not wanting to deal with the enormous difficulty of writing down three sentences and hitting "publish" ;-P

i really am pretty much exhausted though. i've never had real surgery before, and hoo-boy it is not all fun and games. (you may all lean forward and yell "DUH" at me now.) i knew it would suck and all, but i've always been one of those fast-recovering bounce-back-ers and being laid up for so long is really annoying. (also: am currently still on vicodin (yaaayyyy pain meds) so coherence? maybe not so hot right now.) vicodin + recovery + not sleeping well = tiiiiiired...

i went back to the doctor today to get a "slipper cast," so i can start being a teeny bit mobile now. i've been on crutches since friday, and still will be on them for the next few weeks, but i have the go-ahead to start putting weight on the heel of my foot. yippee! the darn foot still hurts pretty bad, but not neeearly as bad as it did last weekend. i am pleased to report that although not under general anesthesia for the surgery, i was put into some super relaxed state and can't remember a thing. i also said some highly embarassing things while under the influence of happy juice (think: conversations about signing rap artists to my label) which matt had the forsight to capture on film thanks to his fancy phone, and i may have to kill him some day for that.

i also have some really gruesome pics of my foot from today at the doctor's when they took all the bandages off, but i certainly won't subject you guys to those :-) i'm way behind on blogs, and will be for a few more days probably, but wanted you guys to know how much i appreciated all your well wishes before The Surgery... you guys are awesome :-)
