In no way did I expect to get pre or post-op gifts, but I've gotten a handful, though the most interesting one came today.
My boss gave me a book a couple weeks ago, one that she found particularly inspirational and suggested I read it while recovering and bored. My step-mom and Carolyn both gave me Victoria's Secret gift cards for the bra shopping I'll need to do soon, and Carolyn also gave me a delicious jar of homemade jam that serves as a great Percocet chaser.
Today Emily came to visit me, bearing a small gift bag with a bottle of body glitter inside.
Now, we all know I have an affinity for shiny, sparkly things. Emily admitted that she found this in her room, and had purchased it who knows when for someone else, but found it and thought I'd like it. She was right.
What I found most entertaining was Emily's comment shortly after I opened the package with glitter.
"I think it's edible, too!" Emily then took the body glitter from me and read the package to confirm that it indeed, is edible.
Edible body glitter is pretty awesome. Now, perhaps it doesn't have the most utility in comparison to Victoria's secret gift cards or Jam, but it is indeed the most creative gift related to... things I could do with my body after surgery. Am I to have someone lick it off my new, perkier boobs? Lick it off someone else? Decorate my home-made jam with it? Dip my percocet in it? The possibilities are endless.
I haven't decided yet. But I do know... that Emily is awesome.
In other news, today my mom gave me medicine that expired 5 years ago, AND I showered for the first time since Sunday. I feel both sick to my stomach, and really clean.
