I live!
So I’m out of the hospital, finally. (Truth be told, I got out on Friday.) I have a few posts in the pipeline, but wanted to send out a quick “Hello” to reassure my adoring fan(s) that I haven’t totally forgotten about you.
Recovery is slow, and tiring, and boring. Mostly been laying around, though I did go to work for a few hours today. It was exhausting (not in a bad way, just in a “I haven’t recovered my strength” way) but it made me feel like I’m a real person and not just a TV-movie-watching couch potato.
I’m going to take a nap, but I do have an open question: What exciting story should I use to explain my surgical scars? I have four nickel-sized holes on my tummy, and need a good explanation.

why do you need a story? i don’t have a problem telling people i had gall bladder surgery. my mother in law has described the pain of a gall bladder attack to be greater than child birth. i can’t say that, all i know is that i’m glad i only had one! one other thing, if the scars are a problem, you can have corrective tattoos for the scars.
Chelsea,
You’re absolutely right, I don’t need a story. I’m sorry I wasn’t clear – I jokingly meant I was looking for a funny explanation for the scars, after which I could admit, “Yeah, they’re from gallbladder surgery.” Something like “I was attacked with a bow and arrow” or “I got into a fight with a unicorn” or “I underwent secret government testing at Area 51.” But I won’t actually be lying to people about the surgery site, and thanks for the reminder I don’t need to be.
i’m sorry, i didn’t catch your drift. i’d rather forget it myself.
You were attacked by someone with Talon hands. Think Lust from FMA if you watch any anime.
Dammit, you already thought of unicorns. I was going to say something about a family of ‘em!
::grin:: A whole family?!
how about being attacked vampires who looked like (Fill in the blank of your most recent crush)
Ooh. Vampire, or velociraptor.
