Posting from a hospital bed. Open ventral hernia repair with component separation. Complex gut reconstruction following the aftermath of my perforated colon almost three years ago to the day.
I seem to be getting along pretty well, given that I left the post-op recovery room about fifteen hours ago. My first experience with a semiprivate room. Neighbor is either snoring or watching TV. The only channel on my TV that does not work is the soothing music channel, but the white noise does the trick. I think he was watching some version of Spiderman last night, from what I could tell while trying to ignore it.
I hope they keep me here the expected three nights. First must have a bowel movement before I go anywhere. TMI?
On an epidural and assorted other meds. Have already accepted a huge job from Oxford starting in mid-June, so at least I know the production line will be starting back up. Eighth edition of Ehrman's The New Testament, which should be pleasant enough. I can't imagine many bumps in an 8th edition.
Signing off.
