Good Morning. Hello. How are you? #1569
Impending hand surgery today.

Good morning good morning. Very short one today. The awesomely named Panther Creek Surgery Center called me late yesterday and told me my arrival time for my finger surgery today is 9AM, so I gotta go in 20 minutes. You don’t get to choose your time. I mean, this is pretty close to the time I woulda chosen but, you know, woulda given myself enough time to write to you guys. Because I love you guys. You keep me sane.

In hindsight I did not think this surgery through. For starters, they gave me the choice of local or general anesthesia and I chose local. Why?? What am I gonna do while they are cutting my finger open and fishing around for glass and cutting of triggers? Watch? Will they let me look at my phone with my other hand? I doubt it. That was a bad idea. And then because I chose local anesthesia they say I can drive myself home. Emma offered to take me like ten times but I’m like “nah, they said I could do it on my own.” Why do I gotta be such a man.
And what if I can’t type?? That would be devastating. What am I gonna do? Speak to you guys? I mean, yes, I used to have that podcast (lol) that was basically like GMHHAY, so I guess I could, but.. I dunno, man. I am a writer.
And I probably won’t be able to work on the studio for weeks, maybe months, if my friend Craig’s experience is any guide. I will miss it. Though I did think this through a little bit, and that’s why I chose now, since October is basically a wash already what with travel and Jane’s birthday and whatnot.
And then.. I gotta do it again? On the other hand?
AND I have a surgery coming up on my nose.
It would be amazing if, after all these surgeries, I was… better? Like… what if it all worked out?
I can’t even imagine.

Got a playlist for you today and it is a good ‘un. I am listening to it right now. Well, I’m on track 7 but so far it has been awesome. This is a good one. Really puts you in a good mood. Man I like music. In my morning all hands Slack announcement at work today I told them all to listen to the Top Gun Anthem. I hope they listen. It has me pumped.
