I was brought into the operating theater at 2.20 pm and I remember the clock reading 3.05, when they removed the tissue that had been covering my face during surgery. I have had something done like that some 7 years ago, and I remember it to be far less stress- and painful - probably, since that stone was more to the front than this one. Anyway, when the anesthesia stopped working, I found myself in considerable pain, which I tried to beat with the pain killer and makeshift icepacks that I'm holding to my face. And guess what: Of all days, today the phone rings with important business calls! Jesus Christ! I could have literally rotted away here in my appartment for at least some days, until someone would notice, but to-fucking-day they remember me? What the fuck!!
Well, given from the fact that I'm writing here and even found the strength to cuss, you can safely derive I'm a bit better by now. I even managed to eat a little soup for supper and keep it down (although it really hurts *every time* I swallow - never knew, you could get exhausted from eating ;-)). So anyways, I'm hoping for a quiet night and for most of the pain to be gone by tomorrow.
Hope, your evening was more enjoyable. ;-)
update: The night was the pits... if I had known, what I'd bring onto myself agreeing to this medical intrusion, I might have reconsidered... hoping, the worst is over.

I am a bit more detached myself, but I, too, would have found a business call from Jesus Christ far more interesting... (What did He want from you?)
No, I’m really sorry to hear about your trouble, and I hope you’ll recover soon. This will pass, like everything in life. Hmm, perhaps another remark that won’t cheer you up. Well, pain is also a proof of life, and I wish you all the joys and other positive proofs of life to compensate for it!

Thanks for your good wishes! I really buy into what you're saying and my initial remark to this blog entry is only 50% a sarcastic one - I'm really fortunate that I don't have to endure real pain on a much more frequent level. And I'm a little better by now, and come tomorrow, I'm assuming to be at a 75% operational level, by Monday back to normal, I'd say. (let's just hope, that this surgery helped save my salivary gland, because if that won't heal, it will have to be removed).
P.S.: If pain is a proof of life, then I must be alive for five of them... ;-) I couldn't help but think: "What, if you'll be experiencing even worse pain than this one day...?" Hope, I won't have to, this isn't fun at all.

That little blessed thing was my trademark on my back. haha. I am covered with moles though, and I don't have a head that twists backward to look down. So I never could know discoloration. It is benign and normal. So now I want my mole back, dammit! I guess it is one of those things you never know. Kind of like your surgery, all you can do is hope and wish for the best. ;)
If you live through it and open your eyes to life, you will make it as painful as it may be. And you can curse every thing in sight. hahaha. ;)
