still a little bloated

one week ago today i went to the emergency room, writhed in pain for a while, got some morphine, and at 730 am the next morning went into emergency gall bladder surgery.
today, i am bloated. less bloated than less weekend when i appeared to be roughly six months pregnant, but nonetheless in no good shape to be lounging on the beautiful railey beach in southern thailand, watching my boyfriend climb, pretending i cant because of the surgery, reading my book (the heart is a lonely hunter) and realizing im in thailand.
but we are going anyway. a week ago we thought we were going to have to postpone the trip that had been in the works (ie talked about but never planned) for over year.
so today i am thankful for laproscopic surgeries, hippie surgeons with long gray hair who totally support my quickened recovery time, and the possibility of a one piece bathing suit.

be careful, have fun, take pictures, only climb up to 10 feet, play in the sand, put on sunscreen, send postcards, post often, laugh, and watch out for flying eels........
