Now that Multaq is working its way out of my system, I’m feeling pretty damn good.
We’ll be leaving shortly to go to the kids’ place to pick them up so we can retrieve Sweetie’s car from the Renown parking lot. Being as I’m not allowed to drive, we have to drive in to get them, drive home with both cars and then drive them back. Whee!
In the meantime, I’ve had my first shower in days, am starting to lose the swelling around the pacemaker and can see the faint outline of it. The area is still quite tight and finding comfortable undergarments was a bit of a challenge, but I’ve even managed to take care of that. TMI? Sorry.
Oh, and Percoset is a wonderful drug . . . if one doesn’t have to drive.

It’s a great day for an Sunday afternoon drive! No, it’s not too much TMI and yes, Percoset is a wonderful drug. I had it briefly when I had my wisdom teeth extracted. They are, however, a lot less disinclined to renew the prescription these days. So, enjoy it while you have it.
Loving your body means grokking the new parts as they arrive. It tells us healthy things about you.

Well, Carissa if this is your first NDE (Near Death Experience) – Congratulations! Having faced The Grim Reaper (more than once) I’ve learned to make fear my friend, and celebrate every breath as a blessing and every day as a gift – THAT is why we call it “The Present” – Good to hear you pulled through lady!

Thanks Johnathan. I don’t think I was ever “near death” but there were some moments that scared the patooty out of me.
