well...i have officially had my first surgery. they took out my appendix friday night, at the UW medical center.

and no, in case you're wondering, they didn't do the laproscopic procedure. i had an "open appendectomy." the surgical chief resident told me it's cheaper, faster, and only minimally more scarring; also that it's what *he* would have, if he needed an appendectomy. so i agreed. just get it done...ya know? i don't wanna die.

there's nothing like having your abdomen sliced open to let you know that you're alive.

and i still don't like narcotics. narcotics + sharon = bad bad bad like puking your guts out, running into walls bad. i'll take plain tylenol, thanx.

so what would you do with 150 oxycodone tablets, if you were me? hehehe.

wanna see my scar? ;-)

I admire your courage...I would have fainted at the thought of being "cut up"...

I can't believe Italy won!!! YAY!!

the thought of being cut up was far more palatable than the thought of *not* being cut up and letting my appendix fester until it finally burst, thereby (probably) killing me slowly with peritonitis. or quickly, i don't actually know how fast peritonitis kills the average person. i just know it is very difficult to treat and/or cure, and that it's often, if not *usually* fatal--which is why they don't mess around when you have appendicitis. but the final insult would be this: if i *had* gotten peritonitis, and they *had* been able to successfully treat it, they would still have had to go in and remove what was left of my appendix.

but yeah, italy won. everyone else in the room with me was routing for france, so i had to go for the italians. plus, the italian soccer players are way cuter than the french ones. i'm all about the cute. :-)

LMAO...yeah the Italians are hotties!! I think Cannervaro is the cutest ;) I hope he gets player of the tournament...as for Zidane I was shocked by the way he acted...it seemed very out of character...I wonder what the Italian player said to him to get him so angry...

hope you are feeling better...

That was truly the most awesome thing I've ever seen anyone French do. ^_^

hmm. i kinda liked the huge demonstrations that shut down the country...last fall, i believe.

i saw the head butt thing, though. i thought it was pretty funny, but yeah, it's hard to say what made him do that. it looked like their little conversation was pretty much over when he turned around and whammo!

lol. testosterone + adrenaline + rivalry dating back at least to WWI = sudden, inexplicable violence

i'm sure the papers will have something about it this week.

Just listened to the news this morning and Zidane says that Matterazzi called him a "dirty terrorist", which is why he got so pissed off...despite that FIFA have give Zidane the Man of the Tournament award for the World Cup.
