Anchorage has fun artsy, musicy Friday night party time on the first Friday of the month called {wait for it}.....First Friday. I am excited that this is my LAST FRIDAY before my RNY Gastric bypass surgery. I was busy on my last Friday. Half a day of work, and then hospital pre-registration. Shit just got real. And surprisingly enough I'm not petrified. Anxious, yes.
I watched this in preparation for my upcoming {as in 3 effing days upcoming} surgery. I do not want this horrendously boring automated voice narrating my surgery. The animation was helpful. I will count backwards from 10 after I'm shot up with drugs and dream that my stomach and intestines look so neat and goo/fat/blood/yuck free like the perfectly pink drawn ones in this video. Maybe I won't even have to replay her awful voice in my mind saying trocar over and over. Maybe my doc's music will soothe my sleeping brain.
Hopefully my doc listens to cool tunes while in surgery - like Indigo Girls or Adele or Harry Connick Jr or Gavin Degraw or or Fleetwood Mac or James Taylor or Kenny Chesney or Jimmy Buffett. I hope my anesthesia induced slumber will not be inundated with stuff I hate like "What does the fox say" or anything by The Beatsie Boys or Type O Negative. I don't want my subconscious to be bombarded with Screamo, classical,Cher, Mariah Carey or ANY KIND OF RAP, gangster or otherwise {sorry LOML - its my invasive procedure not yours}. Unless its Fresh Prince.
And when I wake up hopefully I can replace anything that's subconsciously replaying in my mind with my favorite tunes. Because I know....I just know that LOML is going to let me borrow his Beats headphones while I'm recovering. Even in the hospital where he isn't completely in control of them.
Happy Last Friday folks....and to many First Fridays that I will feel better for and actually want to venture out on after a long day of work and have fun - because I am embarking on a new adventure and I want to get my ass off the couch!
Yay!
