GROINSTRONG

i leave for the hospital in a couple hours. it’s been well over a year since i was stuck in a hospital for multiple nights. it’s not very fun. but i’m stocked up on movies, and comic books, and episodes of the muppet show, and lots of new music.

the past few surgeries have been so predictable – i know what it’s like when they pull a skin-level tumor out of me. but this whole internal surgery thing is a bit more complicated. after getting so adjusted to the same surgery over and over again, it feels strange to have a twinge of fear involved – fear of the unknown, fear of the coming pain, fear of who knows what kind of issues. i’m planning on working tuesday night… yeah, we’ll see how that goes.

i am so hungry! these afternoon surgeries make for a long day – i haven’t been able to eat since wednesday night and i had to stop drinking at midnight last night. i’m trying to avoid the kitchen… the refrigerator is calling to me.

my surgery is scheduled for noon so i should be awake by the late afternoon. if you’d like to visit me this weekend, please email me or kathryn or give me a call.

thanks for all the messages of love and support. you guys are great!
