A….

Okay! Ok! I’ll start doing this again.

I’ve taken a break… mostly due to my recent maxillofacial surgery. My lackluster performance in writing regularly ( or at all) is mostly due to the laziness induced by recovery time. I thought, previously, that I would share all my surgery adventures and recovery experiences through this online journal (blog). At the end, I found it a little too personal…. and gee golly I’m just so reserved sometimes. I never want to seem too emotional and introspective… especially electronically… GAgH!

Here are a few highlights though!

1. During my time at the hospital, every time I went to the bathroom I swore I was peeing in Spanish.
2. My Dad accidentally gave me my roommate’s urinal to use.
3. I didn’t swell as much as the doctor’s anticipated.
4. My ICU nurse could have been pulled straight from SCRUBS.
5. I was in surgery for 12 hours and they didn’t have to shave my hair.
6. My roommate in the hospital was an old Hispanic man who came in screaming, “CERVEZA! CERVEZA!”
7. There was a weird guy hooked up to a machine that walked the halls all night long and always made an effort to stare at me.
8. When I sleep, my head pops.
9. I’ve learned that humans, whether you realize it or not, really enjoy the action of chewing. It makes eating a lot more enjoyable and satisfying.
10. In all seriousness, I have a great bunch of family and friends.

Chris Bradley got married yesterday and it was the first wedding ceremony that I really enjoyed. The priest performed a scene from When Harry Met Sally and really had his Jewish impersonation down. The songs were perfect too.

By the way.. Merry Christmas! Here’s my nephew….
