surgery



if you've never tried to arrange a complicated, expensive surgical procedure, let me share: it sucks. you just sit around & wait for the offices to tell you what you need, try to arrange for your passport to be updated, figure out the dates your friendly family member or other person can get off from work, try to get the surgeons to agree to work so that you can have your f.f.m.o.o.p. along, find people to care for your cat.

and then there's the nerves. major surgery - you can die. it's a risk, no matter how healthy you are. we don't even understand how anaesthesia works. and you are just waiting for one thing or another, and i'm no good at waiting.

lucky for me i can finally get some crucial surgery done. lucky for me i have time to get into really good physical shape while i'm waiting. lucky for me i have a ffmoop.

so in the end, it's all not that bad.

but it sure is nervewracking. i just want it done. now. wheel me into the operating room tomorrow - i'd be ready if it were possible.
