i got them out today! actually, it was just one suture made of something like dark blue fishing line. i only experienced a slight pinch as the end came out, but the weirdest part for me was when the nurse cleaned the wound with alcohol and an oversized q-tip. i could barely feel anything. i knew something was rubbing along my leg, but i couldn’t tell exactly where it was located. it was like half my leg disappeared. creepy. i wonder when the feeling will come back.

On my side
I’m laying on my right side for the first time in weeks. Do you have any idea how boring it is to only lie on your back?
Kneecaps!
today, my left kneecap reappeared. It’s hard to tell in the photo. Perhaps you’ll just have to trust me.
watch my knee in action (sorry about the large filesize)
Restless
I just couldn’t get comfortable last night. Tummy upset. Anxious. Leg twitchy. I kept m up all night. How awful! For some odd reason, I was awake + alert long before she was this morning. So I listened to some music and cuddled my bunny.
cabin fever
yay! i’m sitting outside @ cafe bolivar. tummy is full of arepas and tea. just took a short walk 2 keep leg limber. i’m not sure i’ve ever been so content.
on top of it
apple decided to give out free cases to some of the first iphone users. i really want a hip holster but that’s not one of the options. definitely no bumper for me! so i got a TPU (?) skin which is grippy and thin and will give me some piece of mind when i drop it (which as we all know will rarely happen because i’m paranoid like that). did i also mention that i don’t seem to have the reception + dropped call problems others are having? (did i just jinx myself?!? yay for a free case!!!) but i digress…what i really wanted to write about is the fact that i had already downloaded the app and selected my case and received a confirmation email even before apple sent me an official email announcing i could get a free case. i’m *so* on top of it.
Recuperating
what would i do without my new phone?
Itchy
Oooooohhhh, I’m itchy from all the pain meds! Hope I didn’t get scabies from the hospital!
Home again home again
on my way home w/ KL + m. Got potty + painkillers. Will travel. (not!)
