Brothers & Cysters: Part 3 - Fear & Healing & Thoughts From the Edge

My attempt at a beard failed.

***

What a depressing open.
Mulligan: Surgery went well and so has the first week of recovery.
Things are looking Up.

I remember the plastic surgeon telling me that they found more "tracks" than they expected, thus the whole gig was on a scale much larger than expected.

To me, that's a pretty good reason to get a refund for the expensive CT scan that was so strongly recommended during this process...

But,

That would probably mean I'd have to sue somebody, which I don't want to do.  I'd need to get my paperwork together and my facts straight, and what a hassle that would be!

I'd also need to get the plastic surgeon's thoughts on the record, and that seems impossible.  Since the gig I've only been able to talk to the Junior Varsity "assistants" and secretaries and note-takers.  The Big Doc is long gone baby.

I enjoyed James Baldwin's "If Beale Street Could Talk" and David Sedaris' "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim"

I did not rewatch The Wire but enjoyed the first four episodes of Lena Dunham's "GIRLS"

***

There are some Ideas and also some Big Plans

but neither will help me heal faster

only Rest & Relaxation will do that

but Rest & Relaxation makes me crazy

***

 My wife & mom & dad & brother really stepped up to the plate

 grandparents, aunts & uncles and friends & even students and parents sending nice wishes, texts, chocolate...

 which makes it that much harder to be cranky

 when I'm the luckiest man in the world
