in a room without a window in the corner

I saw the doctor yesterday, and he used that thing from Total Recall to suction about 90 pounds of extremely disgusting stuff out of my head. (Please note that certain aspects of these reports may be exaggerated for various reasons, mostly because I find them amusing.)

He told me that I have to continue Operation Do Nothing At All, I Mean
It Nothing At All And I Am Not Even Joking About This for another week, at which time he’ll take the
splints off my septum and probably clear me for driving and other
normal activities, which makes me even happier than my impending return
to Guinness consumption.

My sinuses look good, and most of the discomfort that was lingering has gone away, so I’m finally off all the pain meds and things that were making me feel stupid and disoriented and, well, like an idiot on drugs. My strongest painkiller now is extra strength Tylenol.

I still get tired easily, and I’m still easily irritated and irrationally annoyed by random things, so staying off the internets is probably a good idea for the next few days. My doctor says that this is also entirely normal and part of the recovery process, which is quite comforting and makes me feel less looney.

So, since it’s unlikely I’ll be updating my blog for a bit, I found the perfect picture to leave here for a few days:

  1. Well yay for being off pills what to make you feel and/or act stupid. Glad you’re feeling better . . . ish.
    And truly I have no words for that image . . . .

  2. You’re so lucky that you can take Tylenol! I was fine with regular pain medicine until I hit about 23, then I became freakishly allergic to everything! Well, Tylenol, sinus and allergy meds anyway. Not fun during allergy season – I actually had Lasik last year because it was hell on Earth for me to try to wear my contacts this time of year!
    Glad it looks like you’ll live through this 😉
    …disturbing pic though!

  3. My favourite bad taste inflatable slide to date involved sliding down a hugely slanted titanic into an iceberg. Think you might have beaten that one… Woof! 🙂

  5. Okay, that’s just sick and wrong. Eeeep.
    Good to know that you’re off the heavy meds and feeling better, Wil. I’m having the DT’s since I tend to jones for new posts from you but it’s a price I’m willing to pay.
    The Universe apparently thought you needed some downtime, and it’s FORCING you to have downtime. And that ain’t all bad.
    Hope you were able to partake of the lunar eclipse the other night, in the midst of your recovery. It was pretty awesome.

  7. I liked the healing vibes, so I’ll send some too.

    Oh how I wish you were better, so that you could save our little omegacon from certain yuckiness. It seems as though all our preferred guests backed out.
    Puffs Plus tshus with vicks are great- Specifically for the post-nasal right now- Don’t use the anti-viral for a while, though- the ascorbic acid will burn your nez to shreds.
    Lots of love!

  9. We can sit around the house doing nothing together, Wil…I’ve just been forcefully signed off work for the second bout of tonsillitis in 2 weeks. Looking forward to lots of reruns of Relic Hunter 😛

  10. Wil..you are so gross-and so missed blogging! Love the “end shot”! Hope Anne and the boys are steering clear of germy people-that’s the last thing you need! Not that you need a laugh…but the Oscars are primo comedy fodder tonight if only to see if Jon Stewart uses that line about the writers strike costing people so much money that the poor women in the audience couldn’t afford enough material to cover their bosoms!
    Just a snoggestion! Feel better!

  14. I’m almost done reading The Collected Works of You, Wil Wheaton, and I’m going to have some serious withdrawal if you’re not better soon! Obviously, take excellent care of yourself, but you are very much missed by so many people. Your writing fills a void I didn’t know I had.

  15. Hey Wil,
    Hope your recovery is still going well and that you’ve survived the much worse fate of being Bored to Death. 😉

  16. Hi Wil,
    I’m a wee obsessed so I hope you’re feeling better as I rely on your witty reports to get me through the doldrum of the day. Or I need to get a life…

  17. Hey there Wil. Yep, you are still in my prayers to heal up nicely. So good to hear that you are coming along. I have been told in the past that when you are easily irritated and irrationally annoyed by random things that it means you are getting better. Does this mean that your voice will change/sound different? Will we notice the change? Just curious. It should make you feel more at ease (and perhaps allow you to truly relax without a worry), that you have the Dr’s order to relax. So Wil, kick back and relax. Allow your mind to feel cushy like marshmallows, have a hot chocolate, get comfy on the couch and doze off into a blissful dream. Take care. Catch ya when you are allowed to be on the internet again.

  18. So now that you’re feeling better, are you doing any comedy/improv shows or readings next week? I’ll be in L.A. for the first time ever, and while I’d love to meet, say, Joey Lawrence or Vin Diesel, I’d much rather get a chance to meet you.

  20. Hey Wil – hope your recovery is progressing every day.
    If you happen to check your comments and are looking for some amusement on teh tubes, here’s something you might like. Database of Limericks. When I came across a link to it, they tagged it as ‘geeky’ limericks, and while many of them are, the rest are standard smut. Enjoy!
