It Came Upon a Midnight Clear(.)
Because--really--it's a song title and a complete sentence.
It is the eve before my gallbladder surgery. President GB will soon be sucked from office through a tube after 3 incisions are made somewhere in my abdomen (or at least, this is what I've understood from the pre-op explanations, which are thoughtful, kind, and extremely vague as necessary). I am thankful for the care I've received from every nurse, surgeon, studying medical student, ER resident, and specialist I've seen along the 2--nearly 3--year time since the first GB pang crept into my left side, just under the ribcage. Part of me will miss you, GB, and your gallstones brethren The rest of me will be gladly rid of you, especially if I get to keep the stones as some lackluster, mostly disgusting trophy of the pain it's taken to get this far.
In other news, Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was wonderful.
