The Home Photography Experience™ - Day Four

I went to Concert on the Square with Jacquelyn and [personal profile] brdgt.  We met up with [profile] mystickeeper and her boyfriend and a bunch of other people like Jacqui's friend Julia, whose name I will remember (usually I don't) and a bunch of mystickeeper's work friends.   It was a Gershwin night and Rhapsody in Blue was the highlight.  I drank much too much wine and ate triple-creme brie.  It was a great time.  Of course, I am drunk, but hey, that's okay.

My sunburn is peeling, which is gross to most people, but kind of cool for me.

I scheduled my surgery.  I have to be in Utah on July 20th for my surgery prep.  I'm, afraid, but in the way a prisoner is afraid of the end of his sentence.  After seven years of fear, I find I am almost more afraid of freedom.  Granted, in order to get out of my particular prison, I have to subject myself to open heart surgery.  Literally.

I missed that somehow!

Surgery is scary. Especially heart surgery. When MacMan had his heart attack... Well, I felt like a wimp for having been scared of my tonsilectomy and septoplasty.

But after witnessing the amazing job they did with him, I feel sure you'll be just fine, after the fear and owee.

Good for you for getting it taken care of. Most people don't get past THAT part of the fear.

I can't wait to get this taken care of. I just wish I didn't have to go to Salt Lake to get this done. It seems like it would be easier (for me at least) if the doctor came up here to do the surgery and let me do my recovery in Madison. Oh well.

If only you lived in England :)

If I lived in England, I'd still have to go to Salt Lake for this surgery. My doctor there is the only guy performing this surgery anywhere because his dad invented it :P
