Bruises

Mike knows I have a thing for bruises. If you don't also share this perverted fascination, stop reading now! Do not go past this picture of me on my sick bed!


(I had to keep a pillow over my stomach for about 4 days. I definitely was bloated and swollen, but not quite as bad as it looks!)



Okay, so surgery gave me some awesome bruises. Can you tell which arm had the 2 failed IVs and which had the 1 successful one?


And, for the grand finale, how about this abdomen?!?  (This was 2 days post-surgery.)


He he he. As you can tell, they did some serious work on my insides. Now that the bruising is (mostly) gone, my pain is (mostly) gone, and I'm feeling (mostly) better, I can revel in the gruesomeness.

Ewwwww....

I didn't know you loved bruises! I bruise like a peach!!! I get them daily and they sure are good! Glad that you are getting better :)

I have been reading your blogs and love being able to keep up with what you (and Mike) are up to. When I saw your incisions I thought, my stomach looks like that! But the last ones, wow, your's are healing so much better (prettier) than mine! I think maybe youth has something to do with that, whadya think? Glad you are feeling better, just want you to know, I was going to send flowers until I read about how much you loved them. Oh, and it's taken me forever to figure out how to comment. And no, age has nothing to do with that! Am sending love and prayers.

Oh, except they glued my (5) incisions and did it robotically. So no tape (which I react badly too also). Remind me to tell you sometime about my Mom's experience with surgical tape.
