In Brighton

[steepholm]

Probably Lacanian cultural criticism is not the most sensible thing to read on the train to one's GRS operation. More than once I was tempted to declare in a Crocodile Dundee voice, "That's not castration anxiety! This is castration anxiety!" And so it is, though not in the Freudian sense - just in my fear of anaesthetic, dislike of pain and general squeamishness. Anyway, I'm now in my room, with a seaview and the mewing of baby kestrels from the nest box nearby.

You'll be fine.

Just lie back and think of England!

Disrupted also as we're now shifting into moving mode.

Hope it all goes well!

[steepholm]

England's not the most relaxing topic at the moment, but I'll do my best!

[legionseagle]

Best of luck! And I'm glad you've got a good view, at least.

A bit rainy at the moment, but I hope for better!

That sounds like a nice auspices to me.

May everything surgical go as normally and boringly as possible.

Thank you!

Kestrels are always a good sign. Best of luck and quick recovery!

[steepholm]

Thanks very much!

Kestrels! Anyway hope it all goes well, and don't worry I'll look after the cat. :)

[steepholm]

Thank you, Ashkitty!

Belatedly wishing you the very best, sister! I'm pretty sure I dreamed of you the other night, but I've completely forgotten whether my brain came up with any symbolism to match your mother's.

I'm out of surgery now, and feeling surprisingly fine!

[kalypso]

Delighted to hear it, and hope that continues!
