Nothing like vomiting to make a broken sternum feel loved. (Don’t worry, I think it was just from the stupid Chantix.)
Wants you all to turn on Letterman now and watch never-seen-before footage of the late genius, Bill Hicks.
Home, chillaxin’ — in case you weren’t aware. Yay.
Thankful to Letterman for showing the Bill Hicks footage. Good to see him again, but nothing beats his albums.
In Dan’s car on the way home.
Landed!
http://twitpic.com/198i7 - Why would I ever need to know this? :)
On the plane now. Shutting down phone.
Sitting at the gate.
In the car with Tom on the way to the airport. Oh we’re here.
Leaving hotel room.
Flying back home in a few hours with my newly repaired heart. 5:15pm arrival, I think.
Holy crap this place sucks so much. I just discovered on my own the restaurant attached where I can get better food including amazing pizza!
Can’t wait to sing again.
Is flying home tomorrow.
http://twitpic.com/18ozd - Good morning, meds:
Last full day, here.
I shoulda been a fan of Lost. Only saw the first few eps of season 2 tho and its either gonna happen or its not. It didn’t happen.
Ooohh. A bit smitten with that tattoo’d redhead who just auditioned on Idol. ;)
Has lots of narcotics but didn’t take too many today. What’s wrong with him? :)
Gonna take my first shower in a week now.
It’s bound to take me months to get all this adhesive fully off of me, particularly cuz I’m not allowed to soak my incisions.
CNN dude has a point. These days, it’s weird when you DON’T/can’t do something online. (Re: meeting people, etc) Yep! LivingChair much?!
Wow. This IS a lot of snow!
I figured out why they keep letting in these subpar/bad singers on Idol! So there’s more drama (ratings) past the initial audition weeks.
In surgeon’s post-op notes, he uses the phrase: “went on (and off) bypass”. So I guess it WAS bypass surgery, for those wondering.
I need to write a rap song with the line “Baby, I’m like ShamWow!, cuz you’ll be sayin’ WOW everytime. (Pause…) *grunt* WOW *grunt* WOW!”
Back at hotel. Still have to find my own way to an offsite pharmacy to get my scripts filled. Good job, world reknowned clinic!

Getting dressed for discharge.
Being discharged sometime today. So glad to not be with last night’s nurse. I mean SIRIUZLY! How do u not know what NAPROXEN is?!?!
Nope. Nope, nope, nope. It’s just this one nurse. The others are kinda dumb but not nearly as dumb as she.
All of a sudden, people around here got real dumb.
Doing ok. Can’t get rid of all the pain but some is better than none.
Not doing too well today. Lotta pain. Docs are looking into it.
Haz a bad muscle strain or som’pin in my right shoulder and can’t find meds to take away the intolrble pain. But percs arent doing 2 bad.
Oooph. It may not do wonders for my pain but boy am I drowsy!!!!
Really doesn’t get the mass appeal of Stephen Lynch. Kinda downright hates him, in fact, particularly due to the success he’s gained.
Has no more wires or tubes wrapped around my ribcage area. Not comfy. Need a shower.
http://twitpic.com/172rp - My arm.
Slept a ton last night, only to be greeted this morning with muscles that can’t move due to such atrophy. So painful.
Wishes this bed was not an air mattress.
Nap time.
Going for a walk. Bbl.
http://twitpic.com/16ofr - My first look (yours, too) at the scar
Sitting in a chair for the first time. Everything hurts and/or itches.
Ok everyone. Pre-op is now and all my belongings are going away. Peace and love. Peace and love.
I am alive. In cardiac step down unit. Have a million msgs to attend to. In lots of pain. Ill post more later. Thx. Byebye.
http://twitpic.com/15rq3 - Welp. Here I go.
Waiting to be registered and checked in.
