*sings* The throat bone is connected to the shoulder bone.

I am not really doing any singing at the moment because OW! Though the nursing staff in the recovery room at the Royal Jubilee (no joke) hospital would like everyone to know that I have the most awesome hair ... totally relevant.

Right, so a procedure that is supposed to cause "minimal to no discomfort" (it says so on the paperwork, for serious, this is not supposed to hurt) actually hurts like hell. It also causes extensive swelling and random shoulder pain.

My poor GP. She is so confused by me. I feel bad for her. No one can figure out why my shoulder is hurting, and grinding when I move it or why I still have difficulty breathing. It may be internal swelling, but that isn't supposed to happen either. They can't work out why I still have low blood pressure or why I have slight hypothermia.

All things considered though it went smoothly and I will recover, though not as quickly as was expected due to the previously mentioned things that aren't supposed to happen happening. My neck is swollen all the way up into my lower face and my chest is swollen as well and I am breathing in short, shallow breathes due to pain, but I am still here.

I do have one of the most neatly stitched incisions I have ever seen.




Seriously, look at that. Shouldn't leave much of a scar at all. I am happy about this and really wish that whomever it was that stitched up the incision from the c-section when my daughter was born had taken lessons from whomever it was that stitched up this one.

You can also see the swelling that is not supposed to be there. Kind off puffed up like a pillow from my jaw down past my ribs. Not infected, just swollen and irritated. Swallowing is not a fun thing right now, nor is talking or breathing or sitting up or laying down or ... okay, yeah, I am just really, really, really, painfully uncomfortable at the moment.

And now that I have confirmed I am still breathing for everyone I am going to go back to concentrating on staying in the realm of the breathing. It is taking a bit more concentration than it should.

My hair has pretty much always been at least shoulder length. When I was about 10 I got it cut really short and discovered that I do not have a short hair friendly face. Kind of takes on the dimensions of a football really, so yeah. I did get it cut off just before I was scheduled to go for the surgery on my head and STILL do not have a short hair friendly face :( Really not looking forward to doing that again when that surgery finally happens.

Wait ... simGen is in your asylum?! The one you have been posting (that I haven't had a chance to read yet)? Oh dear, well ... that is surprisingly fitting. Also, just so you are warned, she has a history of promiscuity. I don't think she has ever met male sim she didn't want to woohoo ... knowledge sim my ass!

I don't have short hair face either :p Mine ends up making me look like I have friggin mumps or some shit lol. Aww *hugs* When does that take place?

Yush she is >3 And just so you know, everyone in my asylum is automatically set to Bi. Yep! I did set her to Knowledge, although I forgot what her 2ndary one is lol Also I had to change her hair because the one you have packaged with her, it kept doing some sort of jumping motion in the front; very annoying :/

So I just read the asylum and the new hair is surprisingly similar to what my hair grew back as! Good job on the psychic vibe there.

The surgery on my head has been put off indefinitely while they are dealing with my lung. It will happen, just no one knows when *sigh*

Oh sorry! I forgot to let you see your child as a toddler; I think you'll be a bit surprised at how she turns out right there:
