Friday

Sunny and warm, should get up to 101 today (38.3 degrees Celsius) although we are supposed to have a BIG break in the weather by Sunday. I cannot begin to say how welcome this will be.



Got one of these put in yesterday, except mine looks like this. Now I am one with the Borg. Except that, y'know, a Borg probably wouldn't feel like it had been kicked in the shoulder by a mule. Lucky for me I have the Good Drugs.

I have to say, though, that this was a much more positive experience than my lumpectomy (this was the second procedure under general anesthesia). It was in a different environment (a hospital instead of a day surgery center), and the nurses and doctors were way more congenial and less rushed. Also, the anesthesiologist must have done something differently, because waking up was more like ... well, waking up. From a natural sleep. It was all very interesting, and I sincerely hope none of you ever have to experience it. ♥



Still reading Jamrach's Menagerie, and it's very good. Also, I know I owe some of you comments and emails, and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten to that. Things have been kind of discombobulated lately. :-)

And now for something completely different: the legal tussle over who will own a Gypsy fortune-telling machine from 1906.

I looked at where they place that thing and all I can think is, "My bra strap would hit that! OWWWW!"

Heh, that has been a MAJOR POINT OF DISCUSSION on the boards at breastcancer.org, which is where I've been hanging out on occasion. Some women said they took a Sharpie and drew their bra strap on their body so the surgeon wouldn't hit it.

:-D
