Could have been a party for her possibly?

They said it was hard for her to leave the house so she was probably still in recovery and iffy about going but not in too much pain before getting hit on the head, ya know?

#1 that's the million dollar question

Maybe it was at her house?

You don't party and consume alcohol after major surgery. Your body needs time to recover.

First, it doesn't say "right after". Second, it depends on the surgery. I went to a (tame) party two weeks after a relatively mild brain surgery because I felt up to it, I was able to go with very supportive and attentive friends, and it felt really, really good to be able to do something fairly normal and social again. The following weekend I went to a wedding. I certainly didn't have any alcohol at either event.

Thank you so, so much for this comment! People should learn to stop jumping to conclusions.

Two years after my step moms brain surgery and she still has trouble going to loud social events. If she gets hit in the head at all again she could end up paralyzed. Depending on the surgery it could be years after and still be a problem. Don't just assume.

Who said she was drinking? You assumed

You missed the point

im sure she figured this out after she was told about the surgery

#27 it's still an asshole move on OP's part to call her a drama queen after finding out she had surgery

She called her a drama queen BEFORE being told about her brain surgery.

she called her a drama queen in the FML. What, she didn't know until after she posted?

It's because that's what OP thought at the time. For example, if an FML were to say: Today, some asshole tripped me with cane, so I yelled at him. Turns out he's actually blind. FML It's what they thought in the moment. They don't think they're still an asshole or drama queen (or at least I hope not).

no it's not. it was completely the other girl's fault for even being there so soon after having surgery. and honestly, if you can't be tapped on the head, she should have been just staying in bed all day.

Not if they just had surgery. I've had 3 chest surgeries over the last 3 years and my chest is still very sensitive. It really depends on the person's healing progress and what areas got messed with.

Still curious as to if OP did it as a joke or if it was accidental...

18 - To me it sounded like OP meant it as a joke, but not intentionally knowing that the girl had just come out of surgery.

yeah but clearly OP didn't know this person so why would she even do that? If a stranger booped me in the head I'd probably be confused and look at them like, "wtf? do I know you?"

I'm pretty sure it was an accident, given that OP apologised straight after

Or maybe OP bopped her and when she walked away in pain apologized, it's a bit unclear.

it was pretty clear. try reading it again?

They title her a drama queen, because that's how it looked at first. Like she overreacted because of a slight bump. Now that they know why she reacted that way, they don't think she's a drama queen.

I'm pretty sure that her hitting the girl was an accident, considering she doesn't know her

Pretty sure it was an accident.

fair point. I read it as OP deliberately tapped someone with a prop, as I've known plenty of people to do that as a way to get attention. can't say I like OPs attitude in explaining it though.

Well last time I was at a party I was not hit. I'm sure the brain surgery girl assumed that she was safe as well.

The dramatic irony.

I took it as she called her a drama queen before she found at she had brain surgery.
