While recuperating, Mousethief, you may find your appetite for cheese is getting back to normal, and you're getting those strong cravings...

If so, RESIST the temptation to take a piece of cheese that is sitting temptingly in a sort of peculiar device that looks kind of like a wound-up metal frame of some kind that is mounted on a wooden base. DON'T GO NEAR IT!!!

Trust me on this, okay? ;-) No matter how good it smells, DON'T touch the cheese!

Update: Tingling in paws is entirely gone, and vision appears to be back to normal! Had a few sharp, unexpected pains in a place unrelated to the surgery today but they went away and are not coming back -- this was in spite of pain meds. Dial-a-nurse says not to fret unless it comes back, and that works for me.

I'm supposed to take the pain meds every 4 hours, and if I let it go 4.5 (almost to the minute) I know it.

Thanks everybody for your good wishes and jokes and stuff.

Oh, and I can now play the guitar again! Not any better than before, alas, but that (and wiping my ass) were two things I was afraid I'd never be able to do again!

Good thoughts coming from Maine Mousethief.

Oxycodone is horrible stuff - so many side effects. Here's hoping that the pain goes away fast so that you can get off of the painkillers.

Be gentle with yourself, and take all the dietary advice seriously!

Thanks everyone. The tingling in my left paw is all but gone now, and in my right, it has diminished to about the level the left was day before yesterday. Eyesight is returning to normal since I stopped taking Oxycodone. The new pain meds are doing a pretty good job keeping the pain in my shoulders at bay.

Not much different, gnu. Still tingling in my right hand; still pain in my chest. My eyes are a little less blurry. Saw an ophthalmologist who said the pain meds can cause the shape of the lens to change, and it virtually always goes back to normal (they always have to hedge their bets). So I'm on different pain meds. Fun!

Thanks again for all the kind wishes.

Dear, dear me! I am sorry to hear this, and I hope you'll soon recover fully. But let the healing come in its own good time, and don't rush things!

All the same I'd try to get out of that Mudcat Recovery Ward before Nurse Ratched arrives....

Smart Alex

Our mousethief lies under the weather,
Our mousethief is making a fuss,
Our mousethief's been sewn back together,
Please send back our mousethief to us.

O send back, o send back,
O send back our mousethief to us, to us,
Send him back in a six-horse-drawn chariot,
Or send him back in an old Greyhound bus.

His innards are back where they should be
With his stomach wrapped back round his guts,
He takes soup down his oesophagal cavity,
But he still can't eat pretzels or nuts.

Last night as he lay on his pillow,
Our mousethief was roaring with pain;
Give his sight back to the old fellow,
Let his fingers have feeling again.

Send him back, send him back to the Mudcat,
Send him back to set challenges perverse;
With a catalogue of scatological items that
Will corrupt and deprave us or worse!

Matthew

Oh, my! That's quite a predicament to have been in, and I'm glad they were able to repair it surgically. Now here's hoping you get over the cure completely!

Take care, and watch that lifting for a while.

Mousehole - pronounced "Mowzle" - is in Cornwall in the UK.

That's a very funny coincidence! Especially since one of my family names is almost "Everitt". But I've never been in Hawaii, in the 80s or otherwise. Nor have I ever sung "Whur be yon blackbird too" (nor heard it, alas). Nor (alas) am I a jeweler.

I wonder where "Mousehole" is.

Are you the Alex referred to in the 'blackbird song' thread?

From: GUEST
Date: 08 May 08 - 07:07 AM

This was, and likely still is, the favorite drinking (drunken) song of Alex Everitt, well-respected Mousehole jeweler and 80s Hawaii party animal and roommate."

If so, coming from a mousehole, that would explain the 'mouse' part of your name. If not, it's a nice coincidence.

@Donuel: do you have a license to wield those puns? If your auto mechanic's name was "thief" you can be sure your unnecessary repairs paid for his kid's braces.

Thanks everybody for the wishes. Got some more feeling back in my paws overnight, and the eyesight is better as well.
