Stay strong Tam! and while you're healing up keep this in mind all the beautiful people in Hollywood are running around in shemaghs. You'll be a sensation in Broadripple.
Look on the bright side: Once the surgery is done and the bandage is on your nose, you can put a fedora on your head, cross your eyes and pretend to be Jake Gittes from Chinatown.
Damn, Bob! Tam channeling Jack Nickelson.........it. it ..boggles the mind....everyone who knows of you is in your corner, kid! (must be crowded as hell!)
Hoping for the best. You know, if they take skin grafts off the center of your back, between your shoulder blades, you won't have to look at the "donor" landscape!
If you are in need of new nose pieces I have more than enough and will gladly donate some to your recovery. (My nose, not, yanno, a collection or anything)
As long as it doesn't lead to "a total eclipse of the schnozz" . . .

Hang tough, Tam. We've got your back.

ReplyDeleteAs Travis remarks, "Hospitals are places where they hurt you."
ReplyDeleteHappy landing, Tam -- and I admire your courage.
Best,
Jim
Same song I was singing before my colectomy. That turned out ok, and this will too. :)

DeleteThe waiting between slices is the worst. But when they speak those words "OK, its clear, lets get you stitched up and out of here" are sweet music.
ReplyDeleteI hope those are the next words you hear.
Quick update, we had lunch. Back at the doc. Tam will tell the rest in due course but at least they're not starving her.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it's really hard to run my ten-key with my fingers crossed like this.
ReplyDeleteWe all pulling for you. Thank you for the update.
We are beings of light, not this crude matter!
ReplyDeleteYou are more gleaming than most of us, certainly than I am...
More sausages.
ReplyDeleteOn it.

Bob: I think this one goes beyond Chinatown.
ReplyDeleteMy Tycho Brahe comment earlier is starting to look prophetic.
Hang tough. You're bigger than this is.
ReplyDeletePeter, well done!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Tam. You'll get through this.
It's not like you live in a Marxist dictatorship.....well didn't used to anyway.
Can't do better than to echo all the above. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteGood luck - do you get to keep a sample? I know a guy who can stuff and mount it for you. Real conversation starter over the mantelpiece.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, prayers out.
Hang in there - thinking of ya!
ReplyDeleteI had a chunk taken from my cheek. Now I have a face with character, rather than the less than stellar alternative.
Always in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteShe's back in the OR at present. Been a couple hours.
ReplyDeleteEverybody, lets all sing!
ReplyDelete100 layers of skin on the nose,
100 layers of skin
You take one off and pass it around.
99 layers of skin on the nose
Sorry, just had to go there. You'd do the same for me.

They took Myer back to OR after lunch, 2:00 pm, and still have her.

DING HOW KID ! PIECE OF CAKE !
ReplyDeleteFscking autocomplete. They took Tam. Meyer can fend for himself.
ReplyDeleteRoberta Whoever
Do they have her or does she have them?
ReplyDeleteDid doc hit a tender spot and she's currently strangling him with an IV line while fending off a scrub nurse with a pair of Metzenbaum scissors?

Good vibes sent into the aether. Keep us posted!
ReplyDelete"Deep within my nose lies a me-low-dee"
ReplyDeleteHum-hum-da-dum.
Hoping for the best. You know, if they take skin grafts off the center of your back, between your shoulder blades, you won't have to look at the "donor" landscape!
Take heart, and blessed be.
All the god thoughts I can muster are heading your way.
ReplyDelete(And to the Plumbing Spam Dude, highly inappropriate place for this crap! May you die soon, painfully and often.)
Prayers sent.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to ya,keep your chin up.
ReplyDeleteBill
Best wishes for everything to go ok.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the phone call. Barkley and I are hoping they're done soon.
ReplyDeleteBarkley offers a snoot, literally, when you're more rested.
If you are in need of new nose pieces I have more than enough and will gladly donate some to your recovery. (My nose, not, yanno, a collection or anything)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it doesn't hurt too much. Physically or otherwise.
ReplyDeletePlease be ok.
Tam,
ReplyDeleteHope that was the last cut and it all goes well.
((huggs))
Eck!
