Speaking of nice couples, is the surgery still a go for tomorrow? Thinking of you, heebz.
Good luck hg! Get the most out of that endless supply of pre-heated blankets in pre and post op!
Hook 'em! And then dispose of the canceriffic tissues!
This really is a cheering thread!
Keep your chin up, Heebie Geebie!
To the op: I always like to remember the words of one of my professors, himself married to a Bengali Brahmin: "if you go to India, remember that you are the barbarian."
suspected this blog fodder would come in handy!
"if you go to India, remember that you are the barbarian."
I remember that wherever I go.
16: video doesn't show up - was it also chaiya chaiya? If different video, please post link! Could use a new cheerful distraction on a stressful day.
"if you go to India, remember that you are the barbarian."
Or as Gandhi said, "Be the barbarian you wish to see in the world."
Hey, we'll take your cancerrific tissues and make those parts of you immortal so that we can then try to kill those parts.
So is the joke that this isn't actually Bollywood Polar Express?
Speaking of Bollywood, this song has been following me around stores and the gym lately. Honkies: not good Bollywood dancers.
23: Close—it's the Bollywood remake of Snowpiercer. (Or maybe Von Ryan's Express. Not sure—I always get those two mixed up.)
I've been listening to Pehla Nasha streaming at work. Fun to discover a new song that I've never heard before, then discover it was the number one hit song of 1988 in a country of 700 million people.
Good luck Heebie! I hope all goes smoothly.
He looks at me like I'm a complete idiot, that's a *long* train journey, too long to go without dancing! Given his complete inability to accomplish breakfast without dancing, I am forced to concede no other reason is necessary.
He's right, you know.
Good luck, HG.
Best wishes for a successful surgery and quick recovery.
24: those honkies definitely underwhelming at the Bollywood thing. Also just generally they seem lame. This Saturday we will find out if the child tho pale pale pale can pull off the Bollywood.
Good luck. We're all counting on you.
Alas, dq, he won't get to wear the giant swishy skirts. There's nothing like dancing in those!
He's got more than his share of sequins, tho!
I think there's hope for a swishy skirt in future numbers. I'm still advocating for a pink turban, that seems eminently achievable.
thanks, all! I'm super nervous but oh well.
dq, I really think you should have used "submission" rather than "submittal".
Good luck. We're all counting on you.
Yeah, this occurred to me too. That movie!
Good luck, Heebie.
37: perhaps I will in future send you a draft!
Allow me to be the first to wish you good luck, heebie.
Isn't that nice that it costs me hundreds of dollars to save my insurance company tens of thousands of dollars? They would not want someone to do this frivolously.
Hawaii made me a very sweet get well soon card. On the back is an old worksheet from school, which says, "Tolerance: accepting others at different levels of maturity."
That's an... interesting definition.
These days, you're lucky if "tolerance" doesn't mean they count Starbucks cups saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" as a second Holocaust if we don't start fighting now.
47 is crazy. Buena suerte, heebie! May your doctors be swift and competent.
Maybe you could donate your unneeded restoration surgery to somebody flat-chested who wants to break into modeling or dating bros or something.
The surgeon bumped into a plastic surgeon in the hall, and asked him on the spot to stop by. The PS was totally supportive of me and drew in cut lines for the surgeon on me, and gave him tips for getting a good result. I feel 100x calmer that the surgeon is taking me seriously! (There is a delay so I'm just hanging out, hooked up to the IV and ready to go.) the PS had such a comforting bedside manner.
I hope he drew little scissors on the lines so the surgeon can tell the "cut" line from the "fold" line.
Stupid surgeon had better do things right. I'm glad it sounds like he's listening and learning.
Yay, plastic surgeon; it's disturbing that you were lacking a supportive voice until the last minute.
Good luck, and hoping for a quick recovery!
Best wishes, H-G! May nothing "remarkable" happen.
Very relieved to hear about the plastic surgeon! I've been thinking of you all morning, and hope your surgery goes as smoothly as mine did.
Best wishes, H-G! May nothing "remarkable" happen.
Absolutely. Except perhaps a remarkably quick recovery.
I'm awake and once again connected to electronics. No pain at the moment. Hi all.
I heard they now push patients back to walking and internet commenting as soon as possible to speed recovery.
There are no bad drugs. Just misunderstood indications.
