It only hurts when I laugh...

Hello, myLotters ! Took a photo of the hand where they had an i.v., as the four incisions in my stomach where they did the gall bladder surgery are pretty ugly. Today I spoke to the surgeon and got some instructions. He said I could go home around six, but of course, it didn't happen until an hour or so later, then I was supposed to pick up some pain medicine at the pharmacy, but when I was taken down to the pharmacy they didn't have anything, so the meds I need must be at the Health Center pharmacy. I'll have to call them tomorrow. My doctor's spoken instructions to me were to do a lot of walking and eat healthy. Evidently the walking will help the pain from the incisions. I called a man from church, who was one of the folks who came by to visit me today, and had said he'd come get me when the hospital discharged me. He brought me home, and at first I realized I didn't have a key to the deadbolt, which is the one that I've had to lock lately, and so I called my brother, and he said that there was a key under the front mat, as one of my co workers had come over and done some cleaning in the house while I was gone. One of the instructions I was given by the surgeon was to stay home for a week from work, so tomorrow I'll call and explain that to my boss. Another thing that I have to do is go over to the pharmacy at the Health Center and get some medication that I was prescribed--presumably for post-surgery pain. Right now, I am going to go and get into something more comfortable. Hope you have all had a wonderful day/evening/etc. in your part of myLot land !
