I think you should clear up that you are not, in point a fact, a zombie BEFORE you go home for the weekend
One of the first things we did on moving into our 'new' house was check it for zombie attack logistics. Almost every single room has its own external door. It'll take me ages to catch all the little buggers - unless I do it during Buffy when I should barely have to move.

I'm actually wondering if there's something seriously wrong with him.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with the amount of time there's a microphone in front of his face.

The site of my head freaked out my daughter last night, which means I must be looking pretty scary. But OTOH, I get to GO HOME for the weekend. Yay!

Hi Emma, are they looking after you?
Ward rounds have just been through. Staff are excellent. Have just been given permission to wash my hair which sounds like heaven,
My face is quite swollen today, like not quite all the insides of my skull still fit on the inside any more. It's quite odd that any time somebody says 'someone like you' when I'm in here they mean 'young and fit and strong'. Except shouty-woman, who seemed to mean 'scary tattooed woman'.

I had one of those too. I put it down to "that must have been one of the surgeon's mistakes"
She had multiple sub-arachnoid haemorages, I think, but she did manage to speak five languages and still directly insult me in two I could understand. There's something about having had so little sleep that really shafts my patience.
Also, no I don't have Adric. Little blighter must have come out pretty easily in the end though.

Hey, it's me I've been a good enough girl today that I've been moved back down out of the HDU and had all my attachments unplugged. I've still got quite a bit of pain but I've moved off having morpheine and down to codeiene. But I've also been moved away from 'shouts 23 hours a day' woman, so if this is how I've been recovering with NO sleep, it's got to get better.
I do still look like a 1950s zombie, though.

How is the eye sight?
As far as I can tell, her eyesight is at least as good as it was before. There was a good chance (10-20%) that the tumor shared the same blood vessel as the optic nerve, and if it did then she would loose all sight in her right eye. Once they got in there they could tell it had just surrounded the blood vessel but was not using it, and so they managed to remove it without damage to the nerve.
Once Emma is up and about again they'll run some more eye tests and see if she's actually gained some sight due to the relief in pressure on the nerve. If so then bonus points to the surgeons, but I for one am just happy she's not blind/dead/vegitablized.
Emma really appreciates the feedback. She cannot wear her glasses at the moment, due to the bandages on her head, so she cannot read this first hand. But I'll be reading this lot to her soon (I'll try not to give you all funny voices).

Finally managed to login as Emma here.
Emma status: slow going
Emma's still quite weak and nauseous, and is not well enough to play on the interwebs today, maybe tomorrow the kind nurses will let her out to play with all you nice guys and girls.
Her brain appears to be fine. A certain scathing wit, of which you are all familiar, is resurfacing which I am sure is a good sign.
It's her body that's having a hard time of it at the moment.
She's had very little sleep, due to patients who are less well than she is. May sympathy goes out to them all along with my the screams in my head of "Shut the fuck up, my partner needs peace and quiet", but still the rambling, snoring, beeping continues unabated.She's on the road to recovery, and is looking stronger each time I see her. But it's going to be a while before she's back anywhere near 100%.
If you're really lucky it'll be Emma that makes the next post, and then you can hear it all first hand.

Thank you, everyone. Sofie, you've been an absolute inspiration - or something that doesn't sound so wet.
Islander, 'they' have black light tattoos that only show under UV - handy for people who only want them to show when they're out clubbing. The ink is more reactive than normal tattoo ink though, seems to give more people more problems.

Kowhai? Yay!
