UN-SCREW YOU

On Wednesday I went to the hospital once again for surgery! This time I was going to get one of my screws removed. The long one that goes through my fibula and tibia.

I wasn't really looking forward to it (obviously) but I was told it wasn't going to be as bad. For one I was not going to be knocked out I was just going to get local.

I was in pain for a few days and stuck on crutches. They gave me Vicodin which btw...sucks!! It did nothing for me. On the other hand...Percoset is awesome! Thank goodness I had some leftover from my last surgery!

But today I am up and walking with my fancy new 25 stiches in my leg. I am getting them removed next Thursday. So up until then I need to keep this damn ace bandage on it and can't get it wet! AKA...I need to lug that damn shower stool back into NYC so I can bathe myself-fun!!

Besides Percoset, one of the best things about being home in LI is that EJ and Maddie were here!!! EJ is having some trouble with her epilepsy so I babysat and she went to the doctors! I know its not the best reason for me to celebrate seeing Maddie but I haven't seen her in TWO MONTHS!!!


She is the best!!! She is so big and so cute!! And I think because my voice is similar to EJ's and I bear some resemblance she took a liking to me! Maddie and I just hung out all day!! Just like old times!!
And I know curse me-I forgot my camera in NYC!! But I'm seeing her soon so I will make sure to take a ton then!!
