Fixing A Hole / Rellanando Un Agujero

La versión español está después de la primera foto.

I DON'T KNOW why, but the first song that comes to mind begins with the line, "I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in." All is well. The doctor promised yesterday that this little surgery wouldn't have any impact on my hairline. He clearly gets me.

YESTERDAY. ODDLY FLUSHED AND SMILING. (THE ANESTHESIA HADN'T YET WORN OFF.)
AYER. EXTRAÑAMENTE ENROJECIDO Y SONRIENDO. (LA ANESTESIA AÚN NO HABÍA DESAPARECIDO. )

NO SÉ PORQUE pero la primera canción que me viene a la mente comienza con la frase: "Estoy rellanando un agujero por donde se cuela la lluvia". Todo está bien. El doctor me prometió ayer que esta pequeña cirugía no tendría ningún impacto en mi cabello. Él claramente me entiende.

IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING.
SIEMPRE ES ALGO.

      Two unrelated things were removed. Nothing to worry about. Minor shiner of the eye today. And the head bandage is about a quarter the size now. It hurt last night. Today, it only hurts when I smile (really, it does) and when I move too fast.

  3. I hope that your skull brain will no longer fill with rain on the plains (and beaches) of Spain. :)

      Like I said, the anesthesia hadn't worn off yet. A bit less chipper since.

  6. Lovely headpiece! Walk around outside for a bit and see if it catches on with the two-patterned, one shorter shorts leg wearing fashionistas!

      Went out for coffee this morning with a smaller bandage. Got a few side glances. I should change to a plaid bandage. That's sure to catch on.

      Pretty soon, there'll be more scars than anything else. But, so far, they're barely noticeable.

  8. This looks serious but you are smiling so hopefully recovering.

      Not at all serious. Just an overly dramatic first bandage.

  9. How many stitches are lurking under that bandage? Hope it doesn't hurt much.

      Only 4 external stitches. The bandage was overkill. New daily bandage is one quarter the size. It doesn't hurt... much!

      Thanks! Doing fine. And you'd be surprised at what a good patient Jerry's become. You CAN teach an old dog a new trick.

  12. Oh, Mitchell! Somehow I missed several days of blog posts (including the one with the excellent new frame on the Dowager Duchess painting), and I tuned in today to find you in bandages. Whoa! Hang on! That's enough, now, with all of the little surgeries here and there. The bandages are startling. I'm glad to read that you consider the surgery minor. Yikes.

      Today's bandage is one quarter the size of yesterday's. And without the bandage, you wouldn't even notice the incision. The bandage is only to add to the drama (well, not really; I have to wear one until the stitches come out). Yeah, lots of little dramas this year. It's really because I'm swapping everything out and going bionic. It's a slow process.

  13. Dear me! I turn my back on blogland for a week or so and this happens. Now I get to read backwards to see how it all started.

  14. It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another. Roseanne Roseannadanna's father was wise. Glad it's done and not expected to be problem. :)

      I started off with a Roseanne Roseannadanna video. And then I got sidetracked with Emily Litella. Never mind.

  17. As with several others I've been away from reading blogs the past week or two. The things we do for beauty! Hope all is well and things are healing quickly.

      I tried to get the doctor to remove the bags from under my eyes while he was at it, but he said he would leave that to another colleague. Oh well.
