The PBW is the name of our plunderin' pllagin' pirate ship that we cyber-sail over on the Good Morning thread.  It stands for Princess Batty Wench and you can read all about her wacky adventures by reading through the Good Morning thread from the beginnin'. It is indeed a wild ride!

I have been having a rough time with pain from the chest tube surgery.  Docs gave me another 6 days of Percoset which I ran out of today. I feel like I've forgotten what not being in pain feels like. I hope this gets better soon as it is putting a real damper on my fun!

Hugs,

Deb

Enough is enough, we say!   Be gone pain and leave our Captain alone.  Begone, begone, begone.  Vanquish the foe.  Make it walk the plank.  Something, anything. 

Hoping you are feeling beyond better real soon.  Yes, this stinks to High Heaven.

Peanut Butter Wreck!

There's an idea Deb, Have some peanut butter and jelly (thats what you yankee doodle dandies have) sandwich and see if that helps. Phyl will probably recommend chicken soup coz it can't hoit!!!

seriously - hope the pain goes away and never comes back again.

Cap'n Deb,
Good advice from Donna about the pain.
Just get some more of that percocet and sail (?) through the pain :'(
Hope you are feeling better real soon.

Hi guys!  I'm back!!!! 
My pain is down to a dull roar and it doesn't hurt so bad to use the keyboard so I'm posting this.  It seems that the chest tube did some nerve damage on my left side--hence all the pain I've been in.  The surgeon put me on Lyrica which doesn't make me more poetic, but seems to be relieving some of this relentless pain I've been in.  I'm having my hysterectomy and ovary removal tomorrow at the friggin crack of dawn --whoopee!!!
Time to rock the pirate socks! Thanks for all your well wishes and support and I'll try to post soon after the surgery.

 I've decided to go to the symposium and have a bit of fun with you AN Heads. Double whoopee!

See ya soon!
