Paging Dr. House
Here's hoping my surgeon isn't secretly some diabolical genius grafting the shoulder of . . . oh. I don't know, a mutant alien, onto mine.
Instead, I'd like Dr. House, please. But with a LITTLE better bedside manner. But cute. You know. With an accent. I like English accents, but . . . you know, Australian or even Scottish will do.
See you in my dreams.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, Erica.
You and your family are in my prayers, Erica.
There was an SF novel called Bill the Galactic Hero written by Harry Harrison that I read as a kid. At one point he has his arm blown off and the surgeon, not paying attention, attacks his left arm on his right side so he has two arms on the same side. Makes for a dramatic salute in the Galactic Army.
What would Dyno Boy think of that?
I second the prayers and thoughts, Erica.
Prayers and thoughts. Let us know if we can help...
Good luck with your surgery. I've been there. Although I think mine was worse. I had a full tear and waited too long to get into surgery. I was typing one handed the next day. I think it depends how long you have to wear the sling.
One point I'd suggest. They numb you up really good for surgery. This will wear off in the middle of the night and it will wake you up. they tell you to sleep in a recliner so I was out in the living room. At this point you will need your pain meds. Maybe your daughter can spend the night with you so she can get them for you when you wake up.
I had my cell phone but didn't want to call my dh and wake him up so I just endured. Stupid I know!
Little tears are suppose to be much easier.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Risk addiction - enjoy the pain meds! ;-)
P.S. As always, you're in my thoughts.
1) I have the PERFECT snooty Brit accent (what with being a real live Brit n all)...would you like me to send you a tape of all the ridiculous rhyming poetry and ridiculous flash fiction I've been spewing out lately...? DEMON ANGEL would like it probably, as I seem to be talking a lot about DONKEYS, POO, PEE and PUKING BUNNIES...um...yep!
2) About liking my BRAIN - ERICA - I'm terribly sorry but there seems to have been a
BIG MISUNDERSTANDING!
I am also waiting for surgery....
A BRAIN IMplant - yes - that's why my head keeps filling up with rubbish...too much space in there.
3) I LOOOOVED Mark Terry's tip - bloody brilliant idea....can you imagine how cool all the kids would find you...!?...couldn't you perhaps even get a third appendage added on....
4) You are DEF in my thoughts (and dreams) but I shan't be praying for you as I'm sure that SUCH a FEISTY GAL can combat ANYTHING. You've already experienced worse pain! I will pray ONLY if you ask, 'cause then I'll know that it REALLY is serious.
WE LOVE YA and we are ALL thinking about you and your family ERICA X
You'll do great! You need a great book on tape read by a sexy Brit author. Someone go out and get her one!
Also, here is some unsolicited advice (because one never gets enough of that, right?) -- don't skimp on the physical therapy or you'll be sorry.
Prayers, thoughts, good wishes, and excellent karma, all coming your way, E. Get well soon.
For God's sake, woman, are you lying in a hospital bed with your laptop writing one last post until surgery is over? You crack me up. I'm thinking about you sending major good karma your way. *blows good karma in a northeast direction*
Thinking of you and I'll hope for the English accent. Get better soon!!
Glue one of those Halloween hands on your cast and tell Dynamo that you got an extra hand after surgery.
I saw you were online so hopefully that means you've made it out without any extra appendages.
