(OT) Frustrated after surgery

[Thyrkill]

Hey,

I just had knee surgery on Thursday (menescis tear arthroscapy) and have been laid up in bed all weekend. This was not a problem because I had ordered Oathbound, Books of the Righteous, and the Book of Eldritch Might on Monday...lots to read while I was healing. Well today is Saturday and no books...ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Oh, bitter irony The one time I have off from work and all to myself, no bloody books. Sorry but I just had to rant!!! Thanks for listening.

Ouch! That suckles, dude!

Heh... Yep, that blows.

Would it make you feel any better to hear a detailed account of my highly painful recovery from ACL reconstruction a couple of years ago?

Still, it might not be as bad as you think, depending on what they gave you for the pain... Morphine in the hospital + fantasy books before going to sleep = some freakin' messed up dreams...

Get well soon...

Nothing worse than waiting on the shipment in the mail.

Well, don't let that stop you. Get pen and paper, and start scribbling Brainstorm or something, don't stay irritated

Sit back, prop up the legs, and watch football!!

Hey!

I just had to same surgery on Tuesday.. It sucks but it does get better (and I also had my ACL reconstructed a few years ago.. that REALLY sucks).

Thank goodness we have lots to read on these boards!

 

[Thyrkill]

You too. I had my right one done a few years ago and its as good as new...the ACL sounds really bad!

Yep, there is a lot to read on these boards...I've been lurking for a couple of days now.

Thanks for the support everyone.

Well, I hope you recover quickly, Thyrkill. And yes, it does suck when something you've ordered just doesn't arrive day...after day... after day!

Still, my suggestion to you would be get a pencil and notepad and let your mind free-wheel. Jot down the random ideas that come to you. Many of them will be rubbish, some will make no sense later (I still have a note made in similar circs which reads "Donkey!!" - it must've meant something at the time, but I can't work it our now! )

But amidst them you might have a few real gems that can make for good gaming. Or even a better lifestyle...

Ah well, get well soon.

Free time.

Prescription pain-killers.

Time to design a new campaign setting!
