Reason # 1: There are no cats in the hospital.
.
Reason # 2: Even though I have a great team of doctors, there will be some inexperienced doctors involved in my care, like the medical resident from my hospital stay a few years ago who insisted that the top of my foot was a great place for an intravenous needle (it wasn’t).
.
Reason #3: My heart has this funny idea that it’s going to hurt.
(See this post for the first appearance of my favorite watch, above.)
.
Reason #4: Inevitable interruption in my incredible blogging streak, currently 744 days in a row.
(10 hours — which is much less time than I’ve spent writing these blog posts — of applause and cheering found here on YouTube.)
.
Reason #5: Likely guest blogger likely wreaking havoc with my nice readers. My boyfriend Michael has agreed — a little too gleefully — to fill in for me whenever necessary, with expressed plans including changing the title of this blog to
“The Day(s) of Living Incredibly Judgmentally.”
.
Reason #6: The worst macaroni and cheese I have ever encountered, in my long and happy life.
Since I don’t know when I’d be undergoing whatever heart surgery my growing team of cardiologists convinces me is the best plan of action for my goal to “live as long as possible,” I am officially declaring this post Part 1 of a continuing series.
I’m wondering, now, what would make a good theme song for
Reasons Why I Do Not Want to Have Heart Surgery (The Original Series).
I could steal the theme music from the Original Netflix Series that is enthralling me and my son, these days …
… but that wouldn’t be very original.
How about this favorite Paul Simon song, appearing previously in this here early blog post of mine?
I like that idea, especially since the title track of The Rhythm of the Saints includes these lines:
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To glide away from the razor or the knife
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To dominate the impossible in your life.
Thoughts about theme songs, hospitals, cats, macaroni and cheese, medical residents, guest bloggers, standing ovations, House of Cards, Paul Simon and/or any other reason to comment?
