Oh, yeah! I might have been about to post something regarding my conversation with the brilliant Dr. Menendezs nurse Connie, this afternoon. As instructed in the five page post-op instruction manual they sent home with me, I had called to report the amount of fluid that has been draining into the giant plastic bulb they left hanging by a tube sticking out of my ass cheek. It was over 390ccs in two days. It is dark, like beet juice, but thin, not gooey or gloppy, like the stuff in my veins. I assured her no vampire would ever come looking for this stuff. Its just not thick enough to attract them. But she said more than 50ccs a day is too much. They cant pull out the drain until it tapers down and lightens up. 390ccs. Thats a lot of beet juice! So she told me to stop with all the athletic workouts. Apparently walking half way around the block and back before napping all day was too strenuous for somebody who just had half her ass cheek amputated. I didnt tell her about all the squats Id been doing to try to build it back up to the size of the other cheek. I guess Ill drink a little less caffeine and keep my feet elevated for a while.
