Goin' in!

[gement]

My check-in for surgery is 9:45. I expect to be checked out between 3 and 6pm. J will post to my twitter when I'm sent safely to recovery and when we actually are tucked in at home.

You can watch for updates at @gement. He will only be updating there.


Me just before my mammogram yesterday. Yes, I choose my shirts very deliberately.

Fashion update, surgery edition:
- "I'm hanging with Gordon Glenn" shirt issued to family, friends, and Math Team/Knowledge Bowl after my dad's successful cancer surgery a decade ago. (Reverse: Stick that in your calculator and derive it!)

- TMNT pajama pants

- Robin underoos, complete with cape

- Live Long and Prosper hoodie

- Rainbow Cloud socks

- Crocs covered in personal symbolism

- No bra because they're going to give me a special compression bra.

- Also carried: Kikker doll from J's Amsterdam trip, clicker that I've been using to reward myself for things hung on a Gallifrey One lanyard.

J will have my phone and will answer calls and read texts to the phone number. If it is not urgent or relevant to the next few days' care, please don't call. We'll post twitter updates when I'm out.

Good luck on Didi's eviction! She can go frolic with my gnomes.

Thinking of you, and appreciating the details that you are sharing with me / us / the universe.

Best wishes! Gentle virtual hugs! And stuff! Good stuff!

I'm very curious about the clicker as a reward, and would love it if you would elaborate on that - when, of course, it is convenient for you. Best of luck.

(I'm trying to come up with a joke around "compression bra" and information theory but it's just not quite coming together.)

Good luck with it!

>100% approval rating on the clothes.

(No idea how I know you, but I thought you might appreciate the thumbs-up anyway.)
