I long for the day when a US president says, “We can’t do that because it would hurt the children” and that SHUTS DOWN THE CONVERSATION.

Didn't you have surgery today????

I’m in that in between state where the pain of the problem is gone and the nerve block from surgery is still working so I don’t need the pain meds yet. Im probably a normal person for about 8 or so more hours - we’ll see!:)

Awesome. Enjoy your hours pre-pain and YAY you made it through. Shall I send my divine physician, George Clooney, over to check on you?
