Random Tuesday Thoughts – They Can Try To Kill Me, But They Can’t Kill My Sense Of Humor
My veins have decided to play “fuck the needle” and make finding a vein impossible to IV me. I’ve had 3 IV’s and no shit, about 10 needle pokes to both arms. They finally had to pull in the big guns over at anesthesia into my room. I told them to make a race of it and see who can tread a vein first and they each took an arm.
Then I said, “Why don’t you guys knock me out and poke me, that’s what I told my husband to do on our first date and it worked for him.”
Sha-zam!
Let me tell you what, someone, somewhere is paying my house off for me. How do I go in for a one night stay hysterectomy and end up near death with pneumonia with blood transfusions?
Thank you, Twitter. I started tweeting before the operation started and tweeted through the neglect and tweeted when I was conscious. Thanks to all my friends, who emailed, IM’d, Facebooked and Tweeted right back to me. I plan on generating a giant thank you post and thank you all that way soon. Right now, I’m 2 finger typing because I have a heart monitor on one hand and an IV in another.
Jenn, next time I see you I’m making out with you. With tongue. Just saying.
I got up out of bed and smelled something awful, then realized it was me. My husband came with a goodie bag of toiletries for me but forgot a few very important staples-underwear, deodorant and a razor.
Holy matrimony, even with a sponge bath, I smell. I am that smell you smell when you walk into a hospital, so go easy on them next time you’re in there because you never know when it’s going to be you.
I smell so bad, I could give the lesbian hippie college girls a desire to spray febreeze. My pee smells like my grandmother’s kitchen.
It’s quite something when the highlight of your week is pooping. When you start calling your friends and high-fiving your husband because you managed to squeeze a nugget out, you can pretty much chalk that up to a bad week.
I’ll be getting out of here soon and will be ready to party like a rock star at Blogher. I’ll be there with the Wii Mommies and EA SPORTS Active and details for our party will be revealed soon. Ladies, if I’m hosting it, you know it’ll be good. I’m just sayin’.
If you think you’d like an invite to this Friday night soiree, you just drop me a line and let me know and I’ll see what I can do to get you on the list. Yeah. I’m that cool.

Yeah, I didn’t think the bastards would get you down for long! You carry off the “wired for IV” look and smell with panache.
I totally wish I was going to BlogHer now. I’m a cowardly idiot for not planning it 6 months ago.

I’ve survived three abdominal surgeries, and I thought the worst part was trying to pass gas. I had severe gas pain in my shoulders…I hope you didn’t have to go through that, since you are suffering enough! I hope you feel much better really soon, and are able to go home!

I told you that Pooing would be the highlight of your “stay”. As for the stench? yeah that’s the ick oozing from all over and the healing. I had that happen in March! I walked into the ER cause I was leaing “stuff” and my bandage? OMG! that smell, I can smell it now! so I’ve been there, and I only had hernia done!
I’m continuing to pray for your sense of humour! but hey think of the $ you are saving on “supplies”

i’m glad to hear that you are starting to recover and home. hospital stays suck no matter what they are for, but it sounds like you have had a nightmare. one thing you can look forward to is NO MORE BLEEDING…whoo hoo! i have never missed that and it’s been almost 20 years now. they can take your uterus but they can’t take your sense of humor. still sending you healing energies.
.-= PJ´s last blog ..New Layout! =-.
I found your site through a magazine article and I read your blog regularly. I so appreciate the humor (even the poop humor) you put out there. Hope you feel better & are back with your family.
I hope you get better and I’m glad you still have your sense of humor.
.-= Felicia – I Complete Me´s last blog ..Overwhelmed Mothers =-.
Oh honey…I’ve missed all your tweets!
I told myself to DM you at least 10 times a day the past 2 days, but I was lucky I got the kids fed and off to their activities on time.
Sorry to hear about all the complications. I don’t think you smell as badly as you think you do. At least your humor is daisy fresh even if your armpits aren’t!
Good pooping…keep it up!

I hope you brush your teeth before you make out with Jenn.
I haven’t had a shower since Friday so I feel your pain a little – but the hospital smell just makes it even more disgusting!
Glad to see they didn’t take away your sense of humor when they tried to kill you there!
.-= Storm´s last blog ..Random Thoughts Tuesday =-.
I’ve been worried about you and as long as you still have that razor sharp sense of humor, I can stop worrying.
You rest and get better! Dang it, I wish I was going to BlogHer so I could meet you and laugh with you in person.
Next year…
.-= blueviolet´s last blog ..RTT: Bite Down =-.
I love your first date humor, that one probably had them cracking up. I say similar shit to medical personnel but I think it just makes them uncomfortable. At least I’m getting a laugh out of it.
Glad to hear you feel better but take a fucking shower, would ya?
.-= Casey´s last blog ..Random Tuesday Thoughts: Is That A Snot Pot In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To See Me? =-.
You crack me up Julie. What a load of crap with the hospital. Yeah, husbands aren’t so good with packing stuff, are they?
With baby number three, they had to stick me nine times before they got the vein. After the 8th try, I refused to let anyone else but a “fucking phlebotemist.” I have no recollection of the event but my husband says that I kept telling everyone to get me a “fucking phlebotemist” or please find me a “fucking phlebotemist.”
Of course, the phlebotemist got the vein on the first try and I was bruised for days.
I am sure that they labeled my chart for that one!
