so i was discussing with my friend kittyflyn in the bloggers version of the 'hall of justice' a new nickname a friend has given me "VG - Vicodin Girl". i have this nickname for 2 reasons, one i'm taking vicodin for my post surgery pain and 2 when i'm on it, it's like someone somewhere took the OG remote, hit a button and i'm on 'self-amuse'. ready to entertain myself (and possibly others) at the flick of a switch...
so i told her this and the conversation turned to perhaps VG is OG's alter ego until i'm back to my OG crime fighting ways. Or perhaps, OG's side kick. Well, i can't do both at the same time. talk about multiple personalities... so that evolved into a conversation about a good side kick for OG. (ok, i'm referring to myself in the 3rd person, lame)
Kitteflyn came up with a few amusing choices, possibly a good nemesis name and i think a pr0n star name for OG - Silver Lining... i love it. It's perfect. Ironic. Funny. Amusing. Made me laugh. Ouch!!!
But this still leaves me with a vacancy for a side kick. i can manage the OG/VG personalities, i'm thinking that in my still recovering state i need a side kick... any applicants? at the moment i'll also accept suggestions for a side kick name even if you aren't available to fill the role.
i can't offer much in the way of a dental or health plan and there isn't really a 401k, but i can offer some good times, definitely a lot of laughs (VG for that one) and perhaps a little day drinking... hey, OG also needs a partner in crime.
please send your applications to:
subterranean cave apt
San Francisco
i can't be more specific than that as super heroes always have a secret hideout and if i say more you'll know where to find the OG and I'd like to keep my membership to the hall of justice for bloggers - they have great cocktails!!
ps as a favor to me for kittie's fab help today - please read her blog! thank you!

Empress OG
earlier this week i had a bit of a crappy day with regard to my health. i am still happily healing - but as a friend reminded me - it was an episode that my body had to have to remind me that i am JUST NOW 2 weeks past major surgery and i need to take it easy. (my doc said at 4 weeks i'd feel as if i were almost 100%, but i'd be closerr to 100% at 6 weeks - 6 weeks! this optimist/impatient girl - wants to be better earlier!!)
so i did a couple of things to help me feel better. i took my pain medication. but that wasn't enough. so i tried to buy some stuff online. and as i've blogged about that before, doing it online just isn't as good as doing it out and about. with friends is especially good. though i have some friends it is better with than others. i have one friend who is all about - the planning and it is almost a tactical assault or as we call it - the ninja experience... *insert karate chop*
so shopping has lost it's appeal. well, sort of. i mean, i'll still get a rush buying something fabulous... but i think i'll try something else to help lift my spirits.
so - i decided i might start invading small countries and making myself empress... it worked for most of Europe... particularly the British... i mean, did the leaders of the countries say - i'm feeling a bit down - let's invade X and that should make me feel better? i think it's possible. during the times of conquering and global colonization, there were great advances in science/technology. admittedly there were quite a few down sides, but let's not dwell.
where should i invade first? what's going to give me that rush i need to feel better? canada? i mean, i was born there, so technically i'm canadian and that's not really invading a foreign country, since i'm a citizen. perhaps i should start smaller, canada really is quite large.
any suggestions?
until then, i'll stick with my pain medication (as needed and appropriate) and ebay.

i'll win the nobel peace prize
so, i will admit i'm not naturally the neatest/most organized person in the world. it takes effort for me to be neat and organized (a lot of effort). but i think my desk is surrounded by some sort of chaos field or something like that. No matter how organized/neat i try to be with my desk i can turn my back on it for 5 minutes and it is a federal disaster zone when i look around again.
As the universe naturally moves in the direction of chaos, i wonder if my desk is trapped in some accelerated chaos field where it will more quickly than the rest of the world, become more chaotic?
No matter what i do, no matter how clean, what systems of organization i put in place - chaos always ensues.
i wonder if there are physicists who would want to study the chaos of my desk. i swear, it doesn't follow the rules of space, time and chaos. the research could win a nobel prize in physics that is if physicists are truly able to identify the true nature of the phenomena. i'm sure through the research we'd find ourselves making leaps and bounds in physics and move toward a greater understanding of the universe (and my desk, of course). it could be a turning point in the evolution of man (and woman) even the human race as a whole. it could lead to world peace and a time of unheard of progress in science, health research and possibly even philosophy. dare i suggest we'd get something other than crap on tv? We'd finally be able to understand life, the universe, everything. possibly even 42.
as this research stems from the phenomena surrounding my desk - i could win the nobel peace prize for bring the world together into a time of great understanding. and all of this coming from an IKEA desk.
i should probably start writing the research proposal now so that the physicists can begin their applications for research earlier rather than later...
and i shouldn't clean my desk as it will only get messy again the minute i turn my back, so i should leave it in it's natural state and only become a alarmed when it posses a health hazard.
do you think it will evolve into a sentient being and eat the cat? ooo... now i'm creating/discovering life.
i really should start that acceptance speech for the nobel!

home from the hospital
well after a relaxing 4 days and 3 nights, i am home from the hospital. My surgery went well. The surgeon was pleased with how it went and though i stayed in the hospital longer than expected, i am quite glad i did. i am now more a lot more mobile than i was even yesterday evening. (yeah, me)
i need help getting in and out of chairs and i'm only doing little walks. hills and stairs, totally kick my butt. i am up and about with some mobility so i'm really happy about that. i'm actually more mobile than i expected! woot.
kudos to my doctor for a fabulous combo of pain medicines. :) i had morphine via IV for the first day or two. When i thought, hmm.. i've got some pain, i wonder if i can have the 4mg of morphine, i figured it best to stop that one. talk about quick pain relief. The doc then moved me on to a vicodin combo which is interesting and really beats my pain. i didn't realize how great it was until the drive home from the hospital. when i took pain stuff in the hospital, i usually just dozed off to sleep or feebly attempted to read cosmo (for the content in cosmo it took me WAY too long to read)... so when i was in the car i was able to see the passing scenery, and other stimuli. bay area traffic when one is on vicodin is interesting. perhaps, freaky? either way, i was glad i wasn't driving! :) (and i'm sure the other drivers are as well).
so here i am - home for 2 weeks. i have magazines, a few books, and some DVDs to watch. plus i have to walk 3 times a day... so as it takes me a bit of time to get going... my days for the next few weeks are action packed.
all ofthis is being made possible by my mom. :) she's taken a few weeks off from work to come and take care of me.
THANKS MUM!
i have great tales of grand adventures of slaying dragons, saving princes and generally being heoric to share - but as these tales were undertaken while under the influence of some drug or another - i think they are better left for another time.
though i do have other hospital stories to share.. the drugs are kicking in, and i'm ready for another nap!
until then...

off to see the wonderful wizard of Oz...
well, i'm off to the hospital... so i'll not be on email or blog for a few days. which is probably good given i'm not sure what i'd post on my pain meds.
though it may prove interesting for others, i have NO doubt i'd write something embarrassing or completely nonsensical. although, who knows, it could be the greatest writing i ever do!
ta-ta. i'll post again when i get home.
