freaky forum

Well, lets face it, I can't phone with my right ear. I guess that is the end of sleeping on my right ear too. It feels more like sleeping on an unconfortable piece of flappy cardboard than on cartilage. Still, without it, there would be no chance of proudly showing off my scars like the war-wounded to those who come to visit!

I signed up last night for an e-forum for people who have gone through the same operation and checked out some graphic surgeries. Never thought I would become an integral part of the moaning of the aged who grope around about their thousands of aches and pains. To give advice and answer other pre-op patients, you have to be registered, though.

So, I enjoyed flipping through pre and post pix mom had come accross. I even found a place where I can watch the operation taped! I signed up and there was a space to put my country (so, I just put one of the several) and my surgeon. I couldn't believe there is space for rating. My doc, the coolest dude of all, got full marks. After viewing scores of awful incisions and scars down patients'necks and after hearing of every possible syndrome in the books related to the tumor, there was no question about the evidence of the rating I would want to give Dr. R.

Grossed out by a guy with a tumor the size of his face, I signed out and went to bed.
