TL;DR, life sucks lately, and the base reason for that is that I have a failboat gallbladder that is going to be surgically evicted from my body in two days. Given that I have a pretty high level of medical anxiety to begin with and zero experience with this sort of thing, I am freaking the fuck out. I mean, come on. I have never had ANY type of surgery before. I still have my wisdom teeth because I found out nitrous oxide doesn't work on me and then had a panic attack in the chair when they went to take them out. The first time I had so much as an IV was when I went to the ER and found out my gallbladder sucks in the first place! And now they are about to remove one of my organs? Yes sir, I am freaking out. Damn right I am freaking out.
But my whining and misery are not the real point of this post, believe it or not. The point is that when I am post-op, doped up on pain meds and rooted to my couch for the following 4 or 5 days, I am going to be super bored. Help me, friends list; you're my only hope. I need you to rec me things. Rec me those awesome super-long fics that I never have time to read. Rec me those shows on Netflix that I would probably really enjoy but have never gotten around to watching. I'm posting this now in hopes of having a good, solid list of stuff by surgery day. I will be a captive audience for almost a week. Coming out on the other side with a new fandom or two would truly be making the best of a shitty situation.
And have I mentioned lately that I love you guys? Just saying. <3<3<3
