Randomness at 4:55 am

I have nothing better to do with my insomniac self in the middle of the night at Duke. I'm trying to be quiet, so that I don't wake Jason. I did manage to sneak some M&M's. Nothing more randomly fun than eating chocolate, eh?

They gave me a big 'ole boost of IV steroids yesterday during surgery. The anesthesiologist said that normal people produce extra steroids in their body as a response to stress during surgery, and that because I'm a chronic steroid user, my body would most likely not respond like it's supposed to... SO they gave me some help. I am going to assume that's why I'm wide awake now. And the fact that pain meds give me energy instead of making me sleepy like they do some people.

Here is my sweet husband snoozing. You can see the lights across the street at the VA hospital and my computer in the reflection. We forgot our camera, so all we are getting are photo booth photos with the Mac.



My pain is better managed now. I got a really good resident in here to see me last night. He stayed and chatted with J and me for a good while. Such a nice guy!!!

I'll let you know later if they are discharging me today. Keep your fingers crossed!! :)
