You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

All the best to you, today. May the surgery be short, sweet, successful, and the recovery swift. May Emmett be the confident, curious little boy he always is, and know he is in good hands. May all of his parents, who love him so, be as relaxed as possible.
That's pretty much how it went. Though after his Mom came out of the OR (she was with him while they administered the anesthesia), she had a cry.
But yeah, thoroughly textbook and routine. Also, they didn't accidentally poke him in the brain. Which Jen told me was unlikely unless they were operating with a jackhammer.

'Night, Trudy! Good luck!
Hec! So glad to hear that everything went so well. Didja take Emmett out for a big lunch afterwards?

I didn't have general for my wisdom teeth, as some of you here may remember (damn, has it been three years?), but I had *no* sense of time passing. None at all. My teeth turned out to be more twisty and hard to extract than my X-Rays had indicated, so the extraction took about twice as long as it was scheduled for. Me? I was happy as a clam and trying to figure out how to use the Rio.

We went by his Mom's favorite pizza place in the East Bay and got some slices. (It's very authentic NYC style pizza by an ex-Brooklynite. It's hard to get the crust right on the west coast.)

How are we supposed to use Rio?

Fabulous!
That was always my favorite part of outpatient surgeries. Mom and dad would take me out for whatever I wanted for lunch afterwards.

Mostly, I'm freaked out about being triggered and having flashbacks in class.
vw, this is exactly why I think you should just go ahead and pass on Deliverance. It's not terribly graphic, but I worry that what's there just might trigger a flashback.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
vw, Robin's description of Deliverence is very apt. It gets to the root of sexual violence, the utter degradation of it, with terrible emotional power. I don't know if I've ever seen a character more thoroughly dehumanized in a film. It's upsetting. Though it makes the revenge-y bits later very satisfying. Though also disturbing in other ways.

What is even happening?
vw,
1) A 94 is an awesome grade. It is literally excellent. It's not just "good" or "good enough".
Don't have unreasonable expectations of yourself.
2) Don't see that creepy ass film when you're still getting yourself all adjusted. That would be an--how did you put it--unproductive decision. Take the other film. Go other film! Choose other film.
