The Pectus Chronicles (Part 6)

Today is the day before surgery! We went for a preoperational visit. They ordered an EKG which was them attaching a few suction cups to my arms, ankles, and chest. It looked normal they said.

This appointment was for the nurse to compile my information for the anesthesiologist(s) to use tomorrow. It was brief. They have me some special soap to shower with tonight and then again tomorrow morning.

I honestly don’t feel too panicked at the moment. I’m trying to ward off the bad feelings by keeping busy and remembering to breathe. I was quite anxious this morning but did the same and was able to relax. They called me and said that I am to come in at 6 a.m. tomorrow. The nurse said it looked like I’m the first surgery of the day so it should be soon after we get there that we get going.

Wow, incredible that all this is reaching its climax. Let’s go get better!

Overheard in a coffee shop, long conversation between two men about attempts to get more muscular (both were very tall and skinny) and one said to the other “I just wanna be that guy, you know? Like my friend needs his fridge moved and somebody is like ‘awww man you’re gonna have to call a moving company’ and then my friend is like ‘nah, man, I got my buddy Alex,’ you know?”

What an absolutely adorable reason to want to be strong. Live your dreams, skinny man. Your body is thin but your heart is swole.

I was on the subway today, and when the train got delayed, this little kid was like, “fuck,” and a literal chorus of grown-ups went: “HEY.”

I was at a crossing once and a kid’s dad said ‘and we have to wait for the green man’ and the 30 people on this crossing all stood waiting for the green man just to prove to this kid that that’s what you do. I’ve never seen anyone wait for the green man on this crossing before you just go when its clear. But Everyone Waited.

Corollary to “it takes a village” is that you’re gonna get a village whether you ask for it or not.

I’ll sometimes take a chance at pedestrian crossings if the road is clear, but am physically incapable of doing so if a child is waiting to cross too, even if the road is empty for a mile in either direction.

I do not want to be the goon responsible for a little kid rushing out into moving traffic just because they saw the lady in the red coat do it. Lead by example. All humans understand this and the majority follow this. Because even if they aren’t aware of it, none of them want to be the example a kid thinks of before they get themselves killed.

I once crossed the street before the signal happened and a kid on the opposite side pointed at me and was like “HE CROSSED TOO EARLY” and his dad went “yes and that’s dangerous” and I looked the kid dead in the eye and went “I’ve been hit by a car three times, listen to your father”.
