ankle surgery a success!

[aslant]

it's out! friends, i did not cry. i did not even shake one little bit! (handstil, your breathe-in-breathe-out technique really worked!) it helped that i was sleepy and took 1mg alprazolam an hour before, but also everyone was really really nice to me.

(a little over 2 inches long. the nurse claimed it came out mostly clean, i was really curious whether it would have little bone shards or whatever.)

anyway, i slept off my meds all day yesterday and was able to walk almost normally this morning. mainly the bandage holds my ankle still. but it doesn't really hurt! fun scar pictures to come later when the steri strips fall off.

That is so insane. That was in your body! Modern medicine: you are freakin' me out.
