second day post surgical update

A hunched over mass of rags stumbles into the guild hall, making his way past guards by answering queries with a low snarl backed by a red eyed glare that would do Nargipoofufu proud after a five day drunk on.  Carefully stepping over a slumbering kitten, he makes his way to the bar to retrieve a chilled bottle of apple cider.

Rummaging briefly through the empties scattered widely by last night's "celebration", he grabs a clean stein and hobbles over towards the fireplace.

  Righting a small ottoman, the bedraggled traveller climbs onto it and takes a seat.  One heavy foul smelling boot drops, then a second hits the hearth as the form makes himself carefully comfortable. Squelching to the left and right, he nests, like some deformed green cat, into the cushion.



Drawing forth a deep sigh of relief, he fills the flagon with the chilled amber brew as the robotically attired 3PO stalks over to demand the stranger's name.  Pegging the cork from the cider off of 3PO's head, he leans back carefully, clears his throat and mutters "Boy, ah guess ah rillah must look a sight, but ya'll knows mah as da lil green menace Alyxyn.  Ah figger'd and stop by tah let ya know how tings ahr doin."



"Dis mohnin ah checked in at da healah's temple on tahm.  Aftah all, ya duzn't wanna piss off a healah bah being late, as dey kinna hate tah be late in dere own prayahs on da fields uf da great god Golf.

In ennah case, da healah un dere acolytes showed up un throwed out my clan un started mah prep werk.  First dey stript mah naked un secured me on dere sacrificial altar.  Let muh tell ya, dat had mah worried.  But it got werse frum dere.  Den dey sed "open wide un take unto yerseff de offerin frum ahr god".   At dat point it wuz good dat dey had muh strapped down az dey took holds "little Alyxyn" un sed "Wider!!" un proceeded tah insert the shaft of a divine nine iron right inta him!  Ah thinks Golf must be a racist God un dat his faithful were gunna keep mah frum enny breeding!  But oh were blessings seen as that divine nine iron drew forth a mighty unholy beast frum within mah!  Dere wuz much fighting in blood but da beast lost and was trapped buh duh priests to be studied latah.



While ah may be sore un semistoned, duh mightah green skin is safe in healing from de birth uf a trulah larger den expected bouncing baby tumah.

------------------------
Now, in RL.. the tumor that was removed was a lot larger than the docs had expected.  Apparently filling about half of my bladder.  They don't think there was any muscular involvement (which is good) but now we have to wait for the labs to look the little monster over.  Meantime I get the joy of being intimate with a tube and bag for a few days.

I am at home again and barring unforeseen circumstances, the catheter should be removed Monday.  Healing is going to take longer due to the sheer volume of tissue that had to be removed but.. things should get better.

We Hope
