Plain, sometimes your taste in movies is just plain sophomoric!

I must admit I was thinking the same thing.

Look people. Some things, like the concept of "romantic love" and "gravity" are debatable. Some things are not debatable. The fact that Anchorman is indeed the best movie of all time is not debatable.

I have to admit, I'm with you on this one Plain!

He isn't funny to me. I don't know why. Then again, my DH said I don't know what funny is. I love me some Bill Engvall stand-up though. That is what I am watching right now as I get dressed. 15 Degress Off Cool is some funny stuff first thing in the morning.

Dear Dr Plain

I feel compelled to confess that not only have I never seen this "Anchorman" movie of which you speak, but I've never heard of it either. Who wrote the original novel? Is it out in paperback yet? Why are the other patients in your waiting room starting to look at me funny?

I look forward to your answers to these and more questions.

Regards

Fanny

I do not think Anchorman is in the least funny, but that isn't a problem. In fact, that is probably a testimony to my sanity.

However, I feel compelled to tell you that your waiting room has an interesting (dare I say somewhat frightening)collection of women (I notice the absence of men with some dismay), some of whom are carrying bags of clothespins and cheetos, while another woman is fondling a bag of what appears to be vegetables and another woman calmly sits with a bag of wriggling writhing snakes.

I thought I was the only patient you had time or interest in seeing, but apparently you are in to group activities. Is there a group rate?

Bill Engvall is pretty funny too. "Larry the Cable Guy", though.....I just don't see it. Maybe because my whole region is populated with real life Larrys. Anchorman is rife with that weird non sequitur humor that appeals to me.

Dear Plain, Why are the other patients in your waiting room starting to look at me funny?

Because you're not wearing any pants.

PS- You need to watch a copy of Anchorman with your sweetie. It's a.....love story.....of sorts.

Well, it is kind of an intellectual movie, tap. Watch it again with a critical eye appraising the Nietzsche-esque themes for added appreciation. Plus, Brick kills a man with a trident.

apparently you are in to group activities. Is there a group rate?

Tap, let's not discuss my sexual preferences here in the open. PM me later on, with a detailed description of what you're wearing....

Look, my insanity is not a secret, but I prefer it not to brought up at every chance. Cheers. :lol:

Who would have ever thought that we would agree. I don't like Larry either. Mark this date down. It may never happen again.:lol:

But don't you want to 'own' your issue, and monitor your progress? You mean public humiliation isn't part of 'humor'????? So much for most comedy, video clips and youthful pranks. :tt2::)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
