If anyone asks about the elective surgery I have coming up...

I'm going to tell them I'm getting the Molly Millions or Chiba City treatment.

Gibson fans will get it, the rest will go "Huh?"

Gonna be a razor girl?

[spookshow1313]

I'd love to be. Like a cyberpunk Amazon - does that clue you in to what I'm getting done?

[mangy_mathan]

No, not at all, but I gathered what based on comments below.

Good luck; I've got other friends who are also considering similar treatments.

Ew, you're going to cry through your mouth.

I can deal with that since I live in a hick town so we all spit on the street around here. The "polite" ones that dip (which unfortunately includes my brother) tend to carry around 20 oz soda bottles with disgusting sludge in them.

I know you may have seen my plans already on FB, but another LJ buddy made me realize this post is sort of a clue in a way - after all, razorgirls could be a considered cyberpunk Amazons.

Forgive my ignorance of these references; this is the breast reduction surgery, yes?

Just get them taken down to "Christina Hendricks" level.

My first instinct was to tell you to fuck off, since you're displaying ignorance not only of great modern literature but also my predicament, and are treating it as a trivial matter when there's a decent chance I could die on that operating table or have some severe complications, given my medical and family history. Of course, how were you to know that? So I calmed down a bit and decided to answer you rationally

[daethkow]

Actually, I'm quite aware of your predicament; you've been discussing this here for some time - the back problems, specifically.

As for the physical test, I've probably lost that much weight from my gut in the last 9 months - 30 lbs - and my back is the much better for it. I hope yours turns out just as good.

I'm sorry to offend. In the absence of the literature reference I was employing a pop culture reference in my reach at levity.

[spookshow1313]

No need to apologize. Like I said to another LJ friend, between worrying and preparing for this procedure, job stress and studying for the LSAT, I've turned into Ms. McCrankypants. I realize you were trying to be humorous, I'm just not in a mindset where I can appreciate it.

Hm, congratulations! I know they've been a problem for you for a while.

It's a case of "Too much of a good thing", in my eyes... I like'em, but it's obvious that you're going to have less grief with a little less there.

I hope all goes well. I wish you luck, and a flawless procedure and recovery.

I don't pray, but I can hope things go well...

[spookshow1313]

I hope so too. Unfortunately I'm a higher risk for complications due to personal and family medical history but we'll see how it goes.
