My pic line is out! And I feel great! And I'm going SHOPPING today! This is as good as it gets!
The pic line came out yesterday evening at 6:30. Was a bit painful, but worth it! It was so funny, when the nurse was busy waxing my arm (ie ripping off bandages), she asked the stupid question 'does it hurt?'... I obviously said 'Yes!', and so she laughed and said 'You should never get a tattoo'...The reason why this is so funny is because I do in fact have a tattoo! And it was honestly a more bearable pain than having your hair slowly pulled out of your arm! My dad and I just kept quiet and smiled... My arm muscles are a bit stiff still and my arm is 'dumb'! It's so weird, it feels like someone else's arm or a fake limb that I'm trying to manouvre! Had 2 of my best friends over afterwards last night to watch a movie on tv and play cards... I lost :-(
Feeling good, which is why I'm going shopping this morning! And all the post xmas sales are on! Yay!!!! Haven't been shopping in AGES!!!! And have a lot of xmas money that all the grandparents gave me! The only scary part will be taking my portable O2 with... I've never shopped with it before. I used to just do the getting-blue-in-the-face thing. But this should work better! I'll do a update later today to let you know how it all went (and what I bought!)
I also want to thank those of you who add comments! I LOVE getting them! It's so nice to know that someone is actually reading this! Untill later...
