Back in the saddle again...

Surgery went well - had a rough time coming out of anesthesia but after that, just minor discomfort. Please, don't make me laugh. That still kills. I'm still taking drugs at night because it's really uncomfortable, so this morning I took a 1/2 day from work (going in here shortly) because I'm groggy until at least 9:30 in the morning when I take that stuff. My body & drugs do NOT mix. Even though I was doped up on Thursday & Friday, for most of the day Friday, I was pretty damn bored. I couldn't really read because Percocet & law don't really mix well, I find most television inherently boring, and really I wanted to lay in bed. It was a rough situation - poor me, poor me. My friends have been GREAT though - bringing me food, calling, all that stuff.

I'm actually anxious to be getting back to work - I think that it's not so much that I love my work as I do somewhat miss the people and each day that goes by, I am that much closer to going to EUROPE. It's a way for me to pass the time. I did buy my return ticket from Vienna, now I need to work on getting my visa - I don't know whether to mail it in & risk not getting my passport back in time, or wait until I go home before I leave & take a trip to the Embassy in DC, then risk them not giving me my passport. ALSO a bad idea. Neither of these is really the BEST option. I suppose I could overnight my visa documentation to the embassy with a tracking number, that way I know that it gets there & who received it. Then I can also find out if anything is missing and clear up issues before I leave. I really don't want to mess with NOT being able to get my visa because I waited too long or didn't have the right documentation. I really would rather go to DC while I'm home & sit there and wait for my visa. I'm nervous about mailing my passport ANYWHERE.
