Anyone who has been following my blog at all or knows me in person, knows I have a sense of humor, even if it is peculiar at certain times. I have used humor to brighten the bad times, break the tension of uncomfortable moments, and to enjoy the good times more throughly. A lot of times if you can't laugh, you'll cry, and frankly, laughing is just a lot more fun (and I think it burns more calories :-) ).
I've been spending the day packing for our trip down to Rochester for the first reconstructive surgery. Since I have very little hair, part of packing also includes packing hats and scarves to wear while I'm away. While packing this morning, I came across a scarf someone gifted to me... it is really kind of cute.... pink with owls on it. Maybe it's because I had breast cancer that I have breasts on the brain, but every time I see this scarf I chuckle, because all I can think is "hooters"... and well, I digress. While packing, I was imagining myself wearing this owl covered scarf on my bald head while being wheeled off to surgery all the while cracking jokes about my "hooters". As much as I'd like to use humor to calm my nerves before surgery, I figured I'd better leave the owl scarf behind... and just deal with my nerves some other way. Plus I'm sure they'll have me on some pretty strong medication and I'd hate to say something super embarrassing... :-).
My vote is for you to wear the scarf :)
ReplyDeleteThat's what Jay said, too!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Bring it! :o)
ReplyDeleteI vote to bring it. I know I said something the last time as I was coming out that gave a good laugh. Not something I would normally say. Everyone needs a laugh.
