Nothing Fabulous To Say
I usually have something from my day to day life to share here - you know, inspiration for my writing. Today, all I have on my brain is my butt. Yes, my butt. I went to the doctor last week for a pestering issue and was sent to a specialist today to take a look. Aren’t you so glad you’re reading this right now? I know, it’s fascinating. They didn’t like what they found. I won’t give gory details. I don’t even like the words so I am not going to use them here.
I go in 2 weeks for surgery. For some reason everytime I have said or typed that word today, my eyes have welled up with tears. I know it’s silly. It’s all routine, I think. I have never had surgery. I have only ever been to the doctor for physicals and for pregnancies and I’ve spent a total of 72 hours in the hospital for 2 childbirths. I don’t know what to expect.
There are all sorts of funny jokes I can crack about how I’ll be a perfect butthole when this is all over and such. I know I’m a little scared. I know I’m fine. I just want it to be over.
I guess the only way I can tie this to frugality is that in the past week, I have spent $70 in copays to have my butt examined. They should be paying me. Trust me.

Funny jokes you can CRACK! You’re funnier than you know
I hope things will be fine for you, and soon just a distant, slightly unpleasant memory.
I’ll be thinking of you. And your butt. Good luck!

I was lucky enough to be given pictures of my polyps.
I don’t know why no one wants to see them….
Hugs and chin up. I hope you take some comfort in knowing that we’re all thinking of your ass.

You know that I am thinking of you, and sending you lots of positive thoughts and what not.
I can give you ideas of what to expect if you know what kind of surgery it is going to be.

I have nothing witty to say and don’t really know you well enough to feel comfy enough to crack any butt jokes so you’ll just have to suffice to have me say I hope all goes well!

Eeewww… I think you will never hear the “end” of this one…
Seriously, good luck with the op. Like TC said, it will eventually be a distant memory.

Oh no! I hope everything’s alright! I think you will be OK… be strong.
*hugs*
And good luck

Thank you all for your support and hopeful optimism that I will soon have a rocking ass again

Don’t ever hesitate to ask the doctors and nurses any questions or even let them know you’re nervous. They are there for you!
I will respectfully refrain from making you the butt of any joke… Oh, wait!
