THE SURGERY CHRONICLES, PT 3: MEMORIES FROM MY FOG BANK
The last movie I watched before going under the knife was Lucky You. I will watch almost anything from Curtis Hanson (except 8 Mile; no thanks). LOVED LA Confidential and Wonder Boys, enjoyed In Her Shoes.
But here was my reaction after sitting through Lucky You on DVD: "Nothing can happen to me tomorrow, because this cannot be the last film I watch before I die. Yikes."
So no, I didn't like it.
And I think I was delusional when I agreed to watch several movies a day during recovery. Because frankly, my eyes are rolling to the back of my head when I attempt to read Entertainment Weekly, so they certainly aren't capable of focusing on indies and character-driven pieces of cinema.
Oh, and I also found out right before anesthesia that several members of my favorite baseball team have undergone the same procedure, at the same facility. Wow, do I feel like a wuss. Those guys are out there playing professional ball a few weeks after being operated on, and all I want to do is curl up in a corner and throw books at the wall in a wallowing pity party. But I can't curl up, because I am a stiff beast right now. And I can't really lift those heavy books either. Like I said, wuss.
See you tomorrow.
I hope you're starting to get more comfortable. It sounds awful. Get well soon Jo!!!
