— all systems go. surgery next Friday, time TBD.
— i’ll be under for around 4 hours.
— i’ll be pretty much incapacitated for a few days after.
— i’ll be unable to climb stairs for a couple of days, so i’ll likely be out of contact here.
— i’ll be out of work for most likely three weeks.
— i’ll be FINE. no need for cookies, flowers, letters, cards, etc. REALLY.
— i’m not nervous.
— this surgery is for a number of minor things, none are life threatening.
— the combination of several procedures is what’s making for a little longer than usual recovery.
— no, i don’t want to share what’s going on.
*These responses predicated on the barrage of well-meaning and deeply annoying questions I’m getting at work. I trust all y’all to be more sensitive. 🙂

before the anesthesiologist puts you under, tell the surgeon and the nurses to make sure they count their sponges before they sew you up. otherwise you’ll always be thirsty.

you should eat three times the normal amount before surgery, so when they put you under, you puke everywhere and they have to clean it up. and when you wake up, cry loudly about throwing up.
i mean, good luck.

hi there
I don’t mean to be the public defender for the devil, but… isn’t it always nice to get cookies and cards, even when you’re well?
Just speaking for myself — I have a tendency to get depressed, and those smalls signs generally cheer me up, and it sounds like you’re going to be sort of isolated… or is it you like to be left alone when you’re sick and just curl up in a ball and not deal with anything?
Uh, perhaps we could send pizza or expensive cigars?

can we add one or two to the list?
