I've been able to be at work all week--I haven't even taken any narcotics (oxycodone) since Saturday morning, and I probably could've just taken one of the ibuprofens they prescribed by then. Getting out of bed was a bit rough the first few days, but not too bad. I think I have a pretty high threshold for pain in general, or I've just been lucky. The gas pains were about the worst part by Saturday morning, and I was done with that part by Sat. afternoon. Of course, AF has come to visit now, but I brought my ibuprofen bottle with me and that helped yesterday afternoon!

I have a couple of new job leads, and today my CareerBuilder email had a job at a company where one of my former co-workers is the president. I wrote, even though I don't really have the qualifications for the position. Can't hurt.

The owner of my company is coming in the office today. I think I'll see if he can talk to me and put him on the spot a little bit about my future. He was in town last week and I was going to try to talk to him then, but it was the day I was doing the bowel prep, and I didn't want to have to interrupt our conversation for potty breaks!
