So glad to hear you're doing okay! This sounds like a nightmare. I hope you get well soon and have a TV-filled recovery at your bf's place. :)

Wow, what a terrible ordeal. I certainly hope your recovery is as swift and easy as possible.

holy crepe, that's some serious shiitake. Glad to hear you're on the mend.

What is it with operations and punctured bowels these days? If I had a dollar for every they-punctured-my-bowel story I've heard in recent times, I'd have... well I'd have about four dollars. But that's still a lot of unnecessary bowel puncturing. I hope you continue to feel better :)

Whoa. That is scary, amandabear! So glad to hear you're on the mend.

So glad you made it through AmandaBear! I hope insurance doesn't give you shiitake for this or try and penalize you on your rate since this is totally the hospital's fault.

Since she was unconscious for the first month, there aren't any uh, 'fresh' pictures, there are some gross ones she had taken while they were changing her dressing, but there are also a few of her after she got home with her little vacuum dressing on. She also had reconstructive surgery a few months ago because her organs got out of place and she looked six months pregnant, they fixed that and then a plastic surgeon did the closing so she would have a much smaller scars. Anyway, I can email you links to the non-disgusting picture ones.

I will regret this but email me the links. Oh god. Mine's been in a vac thing for about a week and a half and everyone says it looks good, but all I see when I look at it is HUGE GAPING WOUND. So.

So, so glad you're on your way to getting better.

So very glad to hear you're healing!

The whole ordeal sounds horrible. I'm happy for you to get to leave the hospital though. Hospitals are crappy places to spent any long amount of time.

So glad to hear things are looking up!

I am so glad you are on the mend. So many interweb hugs!

Oh Amanda, that sounds like the worst thing ever! When I read you'd been sick via twitter I had no idea it was so serious :(

So, so glad you're ok, lovely xox

Here's a baby owl to cheer you up, he said you can borrow his toy :)

Hey Amandabear, it's great to see you hear in person and hear you are doing better! What a scary, awful situation! I'm so sorry all of this happened to you. Keep up with the healing and getting better!

amandabear · **Posted:** Thu Oct 18, 2012 11:42 am

Baby owl! So cute. Thank you guys, PPKers are so lovely. I'm home from the hospital, which is great. I still feel like garbage and probably will for quite some time but at least I can feel crappy on the couch instead of in a hospital bed. I'm on some heinous medication that I would not wish on my worst enemy (seriously, it's like the antibiotic they give you when they want to KILL EVERYTHING) for another 3 weeks and the doctors estimate about 2 more months until my incision is fully healed, so there's a long way to go, but it's still good to be home. Or rather, at my boyfriend's place, which might as well be home.

Tomorrow we're bringing my cat over to stay, since I'm planning to be here indefinitely - wish me good kitty introduction skills, since he has one too. No catfights, all cuddles is what I'm hoping for, but we'll see how that goes.

Amandabear so glad you are on the mend and out of the hospital. Wishing you much healing, happy kitties and tv watching.

esme · **Posted:** Thu Oct 18, 2012 3:15 pm

good luck with the kitties! i'm sure lily will be so happy to see you she won't care about another cat!

Here's to kitty friends!

Mack the Spork · **Posted:** Fri Oct 19, 2012 12:48 pm

Wow, I'm so sorry all that happened to you, but I'm glad you're home, healing, and getting kitty love!

I hope you're feeling even better soon.

appifanie · **Posted:** Fri Oct 19, 2012 5:31 pm

best kitty wishes!!

glad you get to be not in a hospital at least!

amandabear · **Posted:** Fri Oct 19, 2012 7:24 pm

The kitties have landed and their introduction has been way better than I ever expected. They're yowling at each other a bit, but no one's getting catfighty or anything. So far, so good!

GraciaKai · **Posted:** Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:23 pm

So glad to hear you are home. Yay for kittie companions!

Tofulish · **Posted:** Fri Oct 19, 2012 9:19 pm

Sending tons of good thoughts for an easy and uneventful convalescence. Yikes, I can't believe everything you went through.

Hope your kitties entertain you by re-enacting all the television you've missed so far. Or at least season 7 of Buffy.

Tofulish · **Posted:** Sun Dec 02, 2012 6:12 pm

Any news from Amandabear? Hope your convalescence is going well!
