So, I had surgery on the first of August, after which I was given four days worth of painkillers. My follow-up appointment was originally supposed to be on the ninth, which was four days after my release date. It has now been pushed back to the seventeenth, and with a different doctor. It's pretty lucky that I distrust the medical system in general, so I've been spacing out my painkillers as much as possible, and doubly good that I'm very healthy, so I'm healing well anyway. I walked about a kilometer and a half today, as well as having done a ton of work… but I am kind of pissed off that I'm going definitely going to be doing this in a lot more pain than I'd like. Like I said, for me, it's not really that big a deal because I'm quite healthy and ultimately I can take a lot of pain, but if I was sicker or wimpier this would be far less bearable.
That said, if I bump into anyone who's selling oxy or percs or anything like that, I'm highly likely to be in a purchasing mood because as much as I can handle being in pain, I definitely prefer not to be…
In any case, I marinated my remaining breast of chicken in the juice of one fresh orange for most of the day, along with a little lime and chives and garlic. I cooked the breast whole and then sliced it and tossed it in at the end with assorted vegetables and served it on a bed of couscous with almost and assorted fresh sprouts with a light lime dressing on the sprouts. It was alright but nothing special…
