V is for Vendetta, but also VICTORY!!!

Ok, so... Surgery is done!  My arm is healing well, not too much pain so far, but i'm still under the affect of the anesthesia... good times.  The nurse who helped me was awesome, Val and I were able to joke around with her and stuff, which helped to keep me calm.  I must admit I don't remember the surgery (which I'm thankful for) and the immediate after time of the surgery, however I was only put semi-under, and woke up quickly and have been awake all day, I lost an hour versus the 12 during my wisdom teeth.  I'm not looking forward to waking up tomorrow... it's gonna be quite painful... the doctor warned me.  They gave me some decent painkillers, we'll see how those work out.  I was thankful to have my best friend/roommate Val there, she kept me calm and joking around leading up to the surgery.

Some highlights of the day:

(the nurse is swabbing me with a tube with a cotton ball at the end)

Val- what's that?

Me- it's like rubbing alcohol in like a crack tube... ... wait

Nurse- Yeah, great, piercings and crack... you kids are crazy!

Nurse noticing Val's "growly" piercing: TIME OUT! what is that?! do you have something stuck in your teeth?

Val- Oh, not that's my piercing

Nurse- Come with me

(at this point I kinda lost consciousness again, but she took Val out and showed all the other nurses.)

Thanks to the nurse... I'll keep the blog updated to my recovery :)
