MATCHING SCARS

Friday, February 4, 2005 5:58:24 PM

Or, not really. ;-D

Last Tuesday (Jan. 25th), I had surgery to remove bits that had built-up scar tissue (leftovers from chronic appendicitis when I was 15 and an accident I was in when I was 20) and were causing me some amount of pain.

When one's father is a veterinarian, one tends to think of such surgery as "spaying." The discussion I posted in my last log entry actually occurred. My dad is always thinking of ways to save me money by offering to do something or other himself. Whether it involves a sewing machine and baling twine, or kitchen-table surgery, it's all the same to him. Since he actually had to spend just as much time in school and internships as a doctor for humans does, he feels more than qualified to take on these tasks.

Veterinary medicine and the regular kind intersect on many levels.

Currently, I'm trying to recover from having skin, muscle, connective tissue, and organs sliced through. I have a nice incision, which makes my horrible appendectomy scar look like something Frankenstein experimented with (the appendectomy was done before the newer, less invasive techniques were developed), and pretty bruises that have gone from black and purple to black and green. Retractors are not toys.

It's taking longer than I had anticipated to get over the whole thing, which irritates me, but I have finally made it back online.

Let the celebrations begin!

I can't ignore this empty box. The posting/cgi box (whatever it's actually called), sits there, blank, nagging me to fill it up with words - only a few, if that's all I've got, but it's always better to fill it with a lot of words. Fill up the emptiness with words, and I do. Usually I go back and erase a lot of the words, because, hey, too wordy. But the supposed description ends up being either something short and esoteric, or long and (quite possibly) scary (as in, "ohmigod, what a wackaloon!"). I don't know how to describe myself in a way that will give people some clue as to who I am and what I'm doing, so most of the time I end up posting something that can only tell whoever wants to read it what's going on inside my head at that particular moment. I also don't want to seem boring. I mean, I know I can be boring, causing ennui of quite biblical proportions, so I try to avoid that (maybe not hard, but I do make some sort of effort). I don't know how successful I am, though. I mean, I know I entertain myself, but it's hard to tell if I'm entertaining anyone other than people who know me. Even then, they don't quite find the things I find amusing about myself, as amusing as I do.

For more on me, see my LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com/users/reequeen/). Trite, perhaps, but if you're that curious, you're more than welcome to browse.
