My Surgery Went Well

To my friends and readers some good news. I had a minor surgery today and all went well. As a consequence of the surgery, I can only sit so long and may not be able to post much; but, I am thrilled to have it over.

UPDATE:

I put out a couple of quick posts, I hope you find them of value. Now I want to talk about BOOTY.

I am trying to keep my mind off of my pain. LOL. I have been watching America's Got Talent and there are a couple of young men that I have been rooting for. A tremedous attitude and a great shtick. They are called "Tone the Chiefrocca". This is a couple of really nice kids who had a great idea. They aspire to be one hit wonders. They did a fantastic job at playing their gig out and my hat goes off to them. I want to posts some links to how they evolved on the show and their incredibly gracious approach towards not making it to the finals. The best part of their joke is that they get it is a joke and played it masterfully.

Please watch the nbc video, these two young men have the greatest attitude in the world. They know they are playing a big joke and it went further then the expected and the truth is, it is not a great song; but, they sure are fun. They said they just want to have one hit, I think they have the presence and the humor to have a career. I think they should consider doing other people's songs or doing Rap comedy songs. I wish them well.

Following this line of thinking. As I was having my bottom worked on today, I used an old line from a movie with my doctor as the operation was being done.

YouTube - "Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up".

I don't know if it is a good idea to make your doctor laugh while he is doing a medical procedure in a sensitive area; but, I am the Pimpernel and it helps me through such times. I had considered singing "Getting to Know You" during the operation; but, the other thought just came out, so to speak.

It is sort of strange being in a dress and naked from the waste down with a lovely young nurse (she was so fantastic) and an Asian doctor both looking deep inside me. The poor nurse couldn't figure out why with my blood pressure I hadn't been hospitalized more often. ROFL. Heck, she couldn't figure out why I wasn't hadn't had more heart attacks. It is just not my time yet. The doctor was fantastic also. He was gentle and had a great "bedside" manner. After the procedure, I left as quick as I could.

I don't like medical things and certainly not when they are on me. I cannot tell you how nice it was to get so much support from my co-workers. They have seen me go through much and this was relatively nothing. What do I say about people who actually care about how my rear end is doing and me? I had a minor procedure with an 80% chance of complete success. If it fails, I may have to have another. Okay, the truth is, I will have to have another anyways because they can only do so much at a time; but, I was dealing with cancer and got off easy. My primary doctor likes to tell me how I dodged a bullet a while back, he says I had a heart attack but didn't die. I already knew that because I am still writing.

For my dear readers, I went five years hiding from doctors and am now following their suggestions, mostly. As I go down this path, I have some more procedures to follow. By the way, I smoke and they x-rayed my lungs and they are in great condition. It seemed to annoy my primary doctor. He is so sincere and I am so cavalier about things. He does not know of this blog and I will not tell him, he is too sincere. He wants to scare me, in a nice way, and I really like him and there is no scaring me.

I am going to continue seeing my doctors even though my reason for going in has been worked on today; but, I will go in for the things that really scare them. I will not do everything they tell me, it is my body and I intend to be involved in the decisions. Thanks for being here.
