Anna's Top Ten Things To Say to Her Surgeon After the Anesthesia Has Been Administered, or, Anna's Favorite GIR Quotes

10. "Tell me a story about a giant pig!"
9. "Ooh, leprechauns!"
8. "I love this show!" (In case they have an ultrasound monitor.)
7. "*sniffle* I... love you!"
6. "The plug thing! It's not plugged!" (In case of a power outage.)
5. "YOU ARE AN INTRUDER! NONE MAY PASS!" (While crossing my hands protectively over my throat.)
4. "Only if you dance with me!" (Possible alternate to #5. ;) )
3. "I got chocolate bubble gum!"
2. "*gasp* It's got CHICKEN LEGS!" (To be said if I get a load of what they actually remove from my neck.)

And, the Number One Thing to Say to My Surgeon After the Anesthesia Has Been Administered, or Better Yet After the Surgery Is Done:

1. "WHOO! DO THAT AGAIN!"

Okay, that's just fucked up right there. ^_^

Hee hee hee hee

And also, after they're done, I can go "I miss you, cupcake!"

you are displaying the kind of humor that makes these things way less of a big deal overall :) be ready to draw blood on teh scar with lipstick afterwards. wehn I thought I had an ovarian cyst I drew a little comic book about it to help me love and accept it (totally ickying out one of my friends at the time); I ended up not haing a cyst but I do still have the little booklet.

[annathepiper]

I never got this comment emailed! Hrmm. LJ being weird again. :)

Yeah, I figure giggling at it will make the whole experience less scary. ;) And not much I can do until the 14th besides make jokes, anyway!

Though I'll call around a bit and find out whether the 14th is in fact an initial consult kind of appointment or whether that's the date of the actual procedure, since my doctor wasn't quite clear on that.

*snickers about the booklet* Good on ya. :)

Heh. I guess our favorites don't really fit with the whole surgery thing:
"I'm dancing like a monkey!"
"I get to play with the babies!"
"Hi baby!"
(a few of our friends have new babies so these have been getting a lot of use :)

[annathepiper]

*chortle* Yeah, I don't think I'll be anywhere near a maternity ward. ;)

I did, however, consider "Let's make biscuits! LET'S MAKE BISCUITS!"

What about the machine that goes "PING!"? ;)

[annathepiper]

#1, I'm not having a baby, and #2, no GIR quotes about THAT! ;)

Holy crap! I haven't read LJ in like a week, this has been a crazy week for me. ACK! Surgery! I'm sorry to hear that and feeling positive it's just a minor surgery and then nothing more. I'm sure everything's been said at this point. It's scary. I had oral surgery once for wisdom teeth, but the only other time I had surgery was for removing the 8 lb human from my abdomen. Ironically, I could have chosen a few of the above Top Ten also!

[annathepiper]

*snugs* Thanks for checking in, Kelli, I do appreciate it. :) And yeah, I'm feeling much more sanguine about this whole thing as I've been talking with an online friend who's gone through it too. (And, as it happens, I just discovered tonight that I'm apparently not the first person in my family with a thyroid problem. Looks like a cousin who's about my age had HER thyroid out about seven years ago.)

And hrm. I did wisdom teeth removal! So I guess that qualifies as surgery! So this won't be my FIRST real surgical experience. :)

But you have me beat with the removal of the small human from within you. :)

[poodlgrl.livejournal.com]

Although, it must be said. If you have to get SOMETHING removed, the 8 lb human is much more entertainment afterwards!

[annathepiper]

*LAUGH* Very, very true. I'm pretty sure my thyroid won't be nearly so entertaining. ;)

Hee hee hee. GIR!

[annathepiper]

Hrmm. I may have to acquire me a stuffed GIR for recovery purposes!

[flashfire.livejournal.com]

I got both the robot GIR and dog GIR. ;-)

[annathepiper]

Yeah, but YOUR GIRs are with YOU. ;)
