"I thought of you"

[celticdragonfly]

So selenite is home, and we were discussing the varied things that could come of me going to a specialist for the coccyx problem. Surgery was mentioned, he was finding it worrisome, and I mentioned that the site technomom sent me to talked about it being done with a local. He hadn't realized that, thought it'd be general, although wondered if epidural was enough.

My opinion was that although I understand that they want to do surgery with as low a level of anesthesia as is feasible, that personally, I'd rather be out for such a thing. After all, I'd be bored to tears. I just know they wouldn't let me read. Or knit. selenite was amused at the idea of them trying to sterilize a book or yarn to take it into the ER. I figured you could do it with worsted weight cotton, and I could just work on a facecloth or something. That'd be an interesting history for a knitted piece! I told selenite just think, I could give it to someone! "I knit this while they amputated my coccyx. I thought of you." What a way to tell someone they're a pain in the ass!

Now see, other people would be all dignified about this sort of problem, and never mention it. But no, not us. I'm at least going to get all the humor out of it I can.

I'm bringing my iPod to my next dentist appointment. I was too bored this last time.

I don't have one, although I covet one. I brought the old CD player last time. This did not work out. The headphones were dying, the volume control didn't work, and it wouldn't play newer CDs. Bleah.

Plus they kept needing to say something minor to me, and it was annoying. Mom tells me that she brings a CD of music for such things, but I don't know how she gets by without being able to hear the little instructions here and there.

The only problem I've had with that is that the bone conduction noise from what's going on in your mouth tends to get VERY loud, and you need to crank the Pod up. Although it's soothing and calm, a playlist of, say, Celtic harp music, which I love, just isn't loud enough.
