they ended up cutting me open (back, right side, 'tween ribs)... the cyst was larger, inflamed, and infected... and full of scar tissue. it definitely caused my pericardial effusion a couple months ago.

i'm in level II ICU... they'll let me go once they find an oral painkiller they can send me home with... wednesday, most likely.

they took out my foley catheter, my chest drain, and fixed my IVs today. :)

thanks,everyone. :) i'll fill y'all in when i'm less tired. had some nerve pain keeping me awake last night.

love you all.

i wish i could see a picture of it. or a vial.

okay, parents are attempting to talk to me. better go.

You survived the surgery. I'm so glad to hear from you. I'd give you a big hug, but I don't want to mess up your stitches. How many do you have holding you together now? Sounds like it must be quite a few.

Here . . . I'll give you a big smoooooooch to help you feel better.

In a year or so, she can have wisteria vines tattooed all over her scars. :)

the tattooing sounds like a pretty idea.. I'm glad you've gotten through the surgery good, wishing you a "get well soon" - Tiamat

if only i weren't allergic to those dyes...

so, i took red food coloring and drew a tongue from mu old incision (looks like :| )... and used green coloring to draw an X over each "eye".

teehee
