I went in to see my surgeon today for a post-operative follow-up. Good guy, my surgeon. Luckily, he's an excellent doctor as well. He seemed quite pleased with my recovery so far (it has been almost 7 weeks since the surgery) and so the discussion turned to scheduling my third, and what I hope is my last, surgery.
And the award for Best Date for Surgical Reconnection is... February 21, 2007!
Yes, I spent 3 1/2 hours watching the Golden Globe Awards tonight. A funny thing about that - during the first night after I came out of my first surgery last March, I seemed to be a little obsessed with Hollywood awards shows. I'm not sure why, but sometime in the middle of the night, I woke up with what I thought was a major revelation. In fact, I was convinced that I had uncovered a grand consipiracy about the Golden Globe Awards. "It's a fix," I thought in the midst of a morphine-induced haze, "the Hollywood Foreign Press decides who wins the awards! It was so obvious! Why else would the actors all thank the Foreign Press in their acceptance speeches? I must tell someone!!!" I wanted to wake up my husband, who was sleeping in a chair beside my bed, to share this groundbreaking news, but my mouth was so dry from the anasthetic that I couldn't talk. Plus, I was so drugged that I had trouble actually forming the physical words with my mouth. So as I was fading in and out of consciousness that night, I was trying to force myself to remember to tell someone about this discovery the moment that I was able to string a few words together - it was my responsibility to expose the great power of the Hollywood Foreign Press!
When I finally got my head together, I realized that of course there was no grand conspiracy - it was common knowledge that the Golden Globes are awarded by the Foreign Press. But I clearly remember my horror that night, when I thought that Hollywood was nothing more than an elaborate celebrity factory created by an elite group of people who were only interested in separating the masses from their money.
Still, makes for a good story.
