So true. And you know what else sucks? When you're on your Friends page and click "next" at the bottom. The new page of friends loads, but it leaves you at the BOTTOM of the page half the time. WTF?

So Why Did I End Up Back in the ER?
I was discharged from the Clinic around 1:00pm on Monday. Even as I began the ride home I started to feel a bit nauseous and picked up a headache. I figured it was probably due to the bright sun and having really pushed myself physically while packing my things up, getting ready to leave.
By the time I got home, all I could do was stagger into the house and crawl into the recliner. I took more...

Small Note
In my entry about the surgery I forgot to explain why the surgeon decided to only complete step two. His reasons were as follows:
1) I had gained more weight than he had thought, not that that was a bad thing.
2) He needed things to be “picture perfect” to finish me up and things were only “perfect.”

So about that little surgery
It’s been a week now, but I finally found the motivation to document last Thursday’s surgery.
I spent Wednesday making sure all loose ends were tied up between work and home. I got everything organized and had my desk completely cleared before going home. I packed, did some cleaning, and made sure everything was unplugged while I was gone the next two weeks or so. Even as I went to...

Biggest disappointment of the surgery:
Having the bottom staple removed after it partially pulled out. This allows me to claim I have a mere 15 staples—not the original, awesome 16.

That little hole in my stomach
After my first surgery my rectal stump blew out and a giant hole opened at the bottom of my incision. It was normal, expected by the surgeon, and completed fucked up all at the same time.
I documented its progress over the first five weeks and posted pictures online. It closed up completely at times, but would always re-open to allow fluid to drain. This is exactly what the surgeon said would...

Pre-surgery letter
An email sent to friends, family, and others I kinda, sorta know through the Innertubes:
“Everyone-
I’m sending this mass email to everyone that’s been involved with, or asked questions about, my adventures in the land of colorectal surgery. It’s hard to believe it’s been six months already since the first surgery. I feel great, however, and am excited to continue...

neuski:
I can’t wait till he makes his way down. Is it appropriate to wave?
What’s appropriate is to grab some Windex and start washing the inside of the windows when he gets to your floor.

Über Surgeon
I just found out my surgeon was recently appointed to the position of department chair. I knew he was good, but this is awesome.

I just hosed my spreadsheet that I use to keep track of all of the tasks that I complete at the end/beginning of each month. I had edited it to make a sheet the boss could literally check off tasks on while I am out for surgery. I then made the mistake of hitting “save” and closing Excel.

The parking lot of the Irish pub across the street is already full and it’s 9:30 in the morning—it must be St. Patrick’s Day.
Howie Day show
Tonight I am going to watch Howie Day perform at the House of Blues. I can’t wait to see him get drunk, lock a girl in his bathroom and break her cell phone, date Britney Spears, and then be arrested on his plane flight. ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Reality of this Situation...
…is setting in.
Last September I went into the Cleveland Clinic for life-saving surgery. I didn’t ride to the hospital in an ambulance and I don’t mean to sound dramatic when I say that, but I also feel confident I wouldn’t be alive now if it weren’t for having my colon removed. To emphasize this point, I’ll point to the fact that I had to check myself in the...

BREAKING NEWS: Jon Stewart ANNIHILATES Jim...
Stewart came out with guns blazing and refused to back down—let alone swallow Cramer’s bullshit. I went into this episode with a very neutral stance; I never really had much against Cramer. But the truth of the matter is, the dude looked like a sorry, apologetic deer in headlights throughout the entire interview. It’s obvious Jim didn’t take it as seriously as Stewart...
