Happiness is...

the tube for the pain ball out of my shoulder, dressings off (replaced by three Cat In The Hat bandaids!), sling on the outside of the shirt, and a really truly SHOWER so the whole mess stops itching!

I may still be sleeping on the order of 12+ hours a day and loopy as a dingbat, but I am CLEAN and I am ecstatic!

a little plasticized ball, looks like a christmas ornament, that was left hooked up to my shoulder by a narrow tube under the dressings. It had a mini pump and a small battery from the look of it, and we were told to take it out after it emptied itself out about 72 hours or so post surgery. It did, and ACat ook it out, and it's aaaaaaallll good. Weird, though! If it hadn't deflated in the process I was gonna keep it for a Chrismas tree ball.

I should have clarified - it was extra medicine, some kind of painkiller I forgot the name of.
