Gee Whiz - Itchy and Scratchy
Welcome to the Gee Whiz Itchy and Scratchy edition. What is this, you may ask? I've got the itchies and scratchies due to a reaction to either the anesthetic or the pain medication. I'm banking on the anesthesia but the surgical center nurse thinks otherwise because I didn't have the reaction directly after surgery. She seems to think she knows my body better than I do. If there's anything that is different from the norm, it's me. With a lot of my allergies, the initial reactions are delayed 12 to 24 hours. I asked what anesthetic they have me and it was the same as October and I'm sure I've had it before that for other minor procedures. I tried to find the meds online but nothing came up on Biprovan and Seva.
I'm taking Benadryl and as of this morning, am finally getting some relief. Between the Benadryl and the pain meds, I'm really out of it. I am able to write somewhat coherently (or so I think I am!) now because I haven't taken my meds yet. ;-)
Gee whiz, yesterday was quite a trip. Have you ever gone potty when you are sleepy and fallen asleep on the toilet for a few minutes? I have! And five times between yesterday morning and last night at midnight. I felt like such a dork but I had some giggles over it - and so did Mom. She caught me three of the five times when she came down to check on me and she kept asking if I had a tummy ache. Ummm... no... I just took a short nap because my toilet is so comfy. I'm not getting any cheap thrills as I've gotten at Hula's house on her toilet and its cooling system. If this keeps up, I may have to hook up my own toilet cheap thrill system again!
Which leads me to another problem. My kidneys are very overactive and so I have to go potty... a lot. It gives a whole new meaning to gee WHIZ! There's not much chance of blood clots forming in my legs with as much as I have to get up. Fun, fun, and more fun... there's never a dull moment around me.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Karen ~~ I am so glad that your surgery was a success and that you are safely home again. Get lots of rest, but don't take naps in the loo, you might fall
Anyway, take great care. Thank you for The Sandpiper, but Peter let me know that he had posted it.
Look after yourself, Love, Merle.
Itchy and scratchy and loopy? LOL, how fun!
Just be careful on the potty!
I hope you feel better soon.

~S~ I'm glad you're better... but I hate the itchy/scratchies.... ~hugs~
Itchy and scratchy...hope it's not in any rude places.
Sounds like the seven dwarfs....itchy, scratchy, loopy, nappy, sleepy, dorky and whizzy!!
Take care and have a restful weekend.
p.s. Thanks for the Sandpiper.
I think you need to drink something and be loopy and forgetful! Seriously, hope you are doing better. I am thinking of you!
Come here. Use my fabulous toilet. I'll turn on the air just for you!!! LOLOLOLOL
I think you need a string that you can call a nurse in your bathroom and have it ring upstairs when you sit down on the potty, just to alert your Mom that she might want to come down to make sure you made it back to bed !! LOL
I hope the itchies are gone soon.
*BIG HUGS & LOVE*
I hope that you aren't working that calf too hard.... Big hugs to you and yours.
