\"How<\/a>

How Do I Feel?<\/p><\/div>\n

Today marks one week since I went into the hospital on January 8 to have a few things removed that didn’t belong in my body and had begun squashing the things that did. I’ve been home for four days.<\/p>\n

I feel like I’ve been stepped on by an elephant.<\/p>\n

I look like Nick Nolte’s mug shot.<\/p>\n

The anesthesiologist had all kinds of trouble with the breathing tube, so for several days, every time I spoke I sounded like Mr. Toad on his wild ride.<\/p>\n

My arms look like I’ve spend the past year shooting up under a bridge with the other street people.<\/p>\n

Every time I cough it’s like Joe Frazier punched me in the gut.<\/p>\n

I walk like Tim Conway’s little old man. I try to get up and move as often as I can, but after fifteen or twenty minutes of walking I need a two hour nap.<\/p>\n

My belly looks like Freddie Kruger carved his initials in it.<\/p>\n

The surgeon removed what he called a “large undifferentiated uterine mass.” The problem is most likely genetic. Both my sisters have had said “undifferentiated tumors” removed from various endocrine-related areas of their bodies. \u00a0I have a niece who barely has an intact endocrine gland left. \u00a0I gather that “Undifferentiated” indicates a tumor is probably benign. The doctor’s office called my husband with the lab results on Monday. The tumor was NOT cancerous.<\/p>\n

I feel fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
