All in a good cause, of course, but that was the reality of my first night post-op. (Harena didn't have it much better; you can see the Uncomfy Chair in which she got to sleep in three of the photos above... but at least she didn't have to worry about pulling out anything inserted into her.) After that they sent me home (everybody was very impressed that I walked all the way from the room out to the car instead of being wheeled).

Photos from SRS Day (there is more about this on Woozalia):

The Morning After:

So many tubes and wires... I had the following attachments:

  • IV tube, left arm
  • some kind of electronic biometric thing, right arm
