So had the operation on Friday, seems silly calling it an operation but given it did end up being a surgical procedure in an operating theatre I can't think of anything better to call it!

The doctor majorly freaked me out on the Thursday by saying I would be in 'severe pain' but I signed the consent form anyway.

Spent 6 HOURS waiting to even go in as I was last on the list, why they can't stagger the arrival times a bit more I don't know. Got trollied in, given sleepy drugs and the next thing I know I'm waking up in recovery and once I've come round I get wheeled into a ward. Have a shot of morphine and then I'm given a cup of tea, so diabolically English, a cup of tea is the answer to whatever malady you may have or any trauma you've faced.

At this point I'm sore, I wouldn't call it 'pain', just quite sore. I manage to walk to the car though, albeit slowly! I figured it'd get worse once the morphine wore off but it never did, by 11pm that night (I got home just after 7pm) I could barely feel it, thought I'd be a bit stiff and sore in the morning but nope. I almost feel like I've been short-changed!

Stupid doctor for getting me so freaked out. I know men have a different concept of pain (such as they'd never admit it but girls can usually deal with pain much better, we don't whinge as much that's for sure!) but seriously, severe pain my arse.

So yeah, no real troubles at the moment, I just hope it stays OK and heals up nicely so when the stitches dissolve there will be no probs!

All good news because on Wednesday and Thursday this week they're doing an open casting session for extras for the new Disney Alice in Wonderland film that's going to be shot down here in Plymouth, at least in part *squeeeee* It's directed by Tim Burton *squeeee* Poss starring Johnny Depp *sex wee and DIES* - I didn't think I'd be able to make it, but I am so there! I have a feeling my arse may be a wee bit too big to pass as Victorian but it's worth a shot!!

Then Friday I am so still going to Center Parcs, I figure if I sit on a towel and maybe wear a mahoosive nappy-esque sanitary towel I should be able to get away with a couple of saunas, I'll just have to stay out of the pool and those scented shower thingies as well. It should be quite well healed by then, and it's a full week on. Even if I can't I could still lounge round and read, it includes a free lunch and I was promised a pancake in the evening as well. OK, Wiltshire is a long way to go for food, but PANCAKES!!! Mmm.

Oh and I also got a nice cheque in the post which was a tax rebate from the Inland Revenue, woo!

Things are looking up :)

Argh, I'm so annoyed with myself today! I was going to apply for this job, because, well, it's about time to be honest - and I was sure it ended on Saturday and you had to send a CV. So I've been working on it, almost there now apart from a little editing to get it onto 2 pages, but I would have had it ready to post off this arvo and I can hash out a covering letter pretty easily. I go to find the paper it was advertised in - closing date Weds 16th and I had to send off for a application pack *headdesk*

I have absolutely no idea what I was looking at and it was a bit of a shock because as hideous as my memory can be I do tend to remember things like that.

Sigh.

At least I have the imminent arrival of an Amazon order to look forward too, though it's another reason I desperately need a job now as I am a spending whore! I've bought the first two books in the Twilight series as I've been told I must read them, also 'Yes Man' by Danny Wallace because the premise sounds very amusing and I've heard it's good. Finally I've ordered myself a complete works of Oscar Wilde thing. I know so many of his quotes but I don't think I've read a single thing the bloke wrote so I think it's about time I changed that.

I've just started to re-read the Harry Potter series as it's been a while since I read the earlier ones and I think I've only read the last two about twice each. Now we have the whole whammy it'll be good to read them consectutively, though I'll be breaking it up with the new arrivals :)

Have to go back to the Hosp tomorrow and get prodded by Gyno. Don't think anything is going to happen, just that they're now going to look at me and assess what to do. I should probably sort out my pubes though as it's been about a week!
