The Goblin Diaries (previously Quitting Smoking)

I'm mastering the art of drinking in bed (hooray for paper straws!). I have had photographic proof the goblins have tried claiming I've never fed them, ever, which will surprise nobody lol.

Still need to be supervised walking to the loo because I'm attached to so many tubes, they couldn't get an adult sized line into me because my veins are my veins and it looks like I had another one st some point but I don't remember it going in and it wasn't there when I came round, I've now got a fan, the Pulse ox probes don't like my fingers lol. Ended up on extra supplemental oxygen for a bit just to be sure.

My skin nearly scuppered me. We went ahead but I'm on extra antibiotics for several weeks to be certain. I don't remember telling them I couldn't have penicillins but clearly something did, first choice for skin infections is almost always penicillins but I've got clarithromycin again, which gives everything a bitter taste but I can at least take it without vomiting.

I got some dinner (pan fried cod and potatoes, then was full) but I've drunk so much orange juice. It is delicious orange juice. And pineapple juice. Tried some cranberry juice too but it tasted weird.

Hopefully that's coherent. I'm not quite convinced I'm not dreaming right now, physically or metaphorically.
 
The truth is out now, you really don't feed those Goblins.
Sending healing vibes. I hope you feel better tomorrow after what will hopefully be a good nights sleep.
 
So happy for you that everything went well with the op. You will be back home with the goblins soon and I'm sure they will tell you that they haven't been fed the whole time you were away.😂

I'll be worried if they don't, lol.

When Ash first met them, "They're tiny! Wait is that what they all look like under the fur?" while also pointing out Bann's bigger but it's Camowen has the really pudgy belly. And mentioning Bann's fat lump and Cam's previous but now long since missing face lump where I'm not convinced he wasn't just holding food weird in his mouth.

And then Cam started drinking with his head upside down again 🤷‍♂️
 
#481, I think. Looking forward to going home, the caffeine withdrawals have hit. I'm thinking it'll be around lunch when my dad gets here, then it's to Golders Green for a few hours to wait on the coach. It has, predictably, started raining today (heard a hell of a thunderclap overnight) and I've no coat and Golders Green is all outdoors (thanks for that London) but I have a hoodie and that will do.

Then I can have a vape and Ash is meeting me in Manchester so I can have my keys back and get yelled at by the goblins all night. :))

They had better! I'm on a motorway, either the M25 or the M40 lol. Still in Greater London I think. Or not, I was too busy reading comics for a couple of hours lol.

I'm not sore but this is not comfortable, but I've a hoodie behind my back which is helping. Could really do with a services stop to grab a drink though. We're running slightly late but not seriously so.
 
Glad to hear that you are on your way home. Look after yourself. I'm sure that Cam and Bann will be very happy to have you back.xx
 
I hope you get home quickly, I remember how uncomfortable travelling is after an operation. I wish you a speedy recovery.
 
Hopefully you’re nearer to home - then rest and relax and recover - obviously you’ll have the demands of the Goblins to contend with …..nothing new there 🥰
 
Hope the Goblins are being kind to you, and you had a good nights sleep. Always good to be back in your own bed after a hospital stay.
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
 
Hope you have slept well and the goblins have not women you with a fawn chorus of wheeking.xx
 
I'm beginning to think they've just yelled themselves hoarse at some point and don't have the voice left to wheek :)) they're up and about and demanding food but demanding it very quietly instead. Got a decent sleep. Got caffeine withdrawal headaches which aren't terrible, I did get some Coke after getting out of the hospital, and I woke up ~5am and then again a couple of hours back. I'm sore but it's more of a discomfort than it is a pain.

Wish me luck, I've gotta go back into the bedroom to get a bin bag. Even a quietly demanding goblin can make a nuisance of themselves should they wish!
 
I went in and sat on the bed to grab the bag and suddenly I had two begging goblins at the bars. Quiet, but there's no mistaking a begging pose lol. Also they cannot get enough of the hay today. They did have some hay left last night, so it's not like they got no hay while I was gone but apparently they really, really, really want 6 or 7 massive piles of it. Who am I to argue?
 
Comforting they’re just being Cam and Bann 🥰
I’m glad you’ve had a decent sleep and are not in too much discomfort !
You’re doing just great 🥰
