Where the heck is my happy meal?

well apparently a shorter version would have been better read. on the adventure.

today my liver biopsy went fine. it was easier and less painful than having a wisdom tooth pulled.

the Versed they gave me didn't do anything, i remember everything about the whole procedure, i was relaxed though so i guess that did it's job, and yet i was relaxed anyway. But, Friday I'm going to tell them to give me extra Versed, i have a feeling i don't want to remember that procedure. AT. ALL.

i did have to have 2 passes into my liver with the needle instead of just the usual one. why? i dunno.

then i had the rare side effect of shoulder pain afterward. did you know that there is a nerve that can be triggered by irritating the liver that causes shoulder pain? yeah only 25% of people have that and lucky me, i'm one of them. It hurt like the devil but is gone now, thank goodness. It only lasted a few hours.

I noticed everyone else there getting tests were so tense and no fun, i don't know what tests they were having but no one was laughing and joking with their nurse and Dr. but me. of course that's kind of how it always is. I'm fun and happy even when facing down a nerve wracking procedure.

I'm on restriction for 24 hours. I'm supposed to lay in bed and do NOTHING. it's to prevent bleeding internally and hemorrhaging.of course, I'm more than willing to follow orders to prevent spending any more time in the hospital.

wanna know something funny about me...
i feel compelled to get my kids a treat every time they have to get shots or go to the dentist to have something done. i usually get them happy meals on the way home. i used to stop at the store and let them get something. and if they had surgery, they always got a new outfit, and a toy for the big day.

which leads into this confession....

I confess that i feel as though i deserve a prize for enduring the procedure happily and nicely.

So, where the heck is my happy meal? and dang it i wanna pick something out for my reward. like a new purse...or an outfit. Halloween decor? furniture? SUNGLASSES?

Hubs, if you are reading this, i expect a treat within the next day or two. ;) especially after FRIDAY!

and it's not so much that i want someone to give me something, it's i want to go buy myself something. it just so happens that after some of my Dr appointments when i was dealing with my cancer crap, i'd hit the store on the way home and buy myself something. a new purse. an accent table. just something to make a cruddy day seem great with a little retail therapy.

i feel some retail therapy coming on.


Well, back to bed i go, I have a trashy novel that was just getting good.

I'll be around on FB and reading comments on my phone.

so leave me some comment love as my treat from you to me.


Do you get treats for your kids if they have an unpleasant procedure done?

do you think you deserve the same when you do too?

how about retail therapy, does it fix what ails ya?
