A shot in the dark, and a Big Damn Favor

[kitanzi]

My surgery is scheduled for Wed, October 26th at 8:15 am. I'm not sure how long it will take, but the surgery center wants me to promise that I'll have someone with me for the rest of the day since I'll be loopy on painkillers. This is a real shot in the dark, but is there anyone in the Alpharetta or Atlanta area who would be home during that day who might be able and willing to have a genuine couch potato on their couch for that afternoon? ACat seriously can't get more time off - he's already borrowing vacation time from next year from his job to go to OVFF and they politely made it clear that that's a one time favor they're doing for him.

Personally, I think I would be ok if he got me set up on the couch at home with pills, water, cellphone for emergencies, and tv remote before heading back to work - he's only five to ten minutes down the road. But the doctors seem pretty set about this, and while I may wind up just smiling nicely at them and telling them what they want to hear, I thought I'd ask around first.

Let me check with Aaron; he teaches from 11-12 on Wednedays, but after that he's usually pretty flexible, and often works from home. I'll see if he has any meetings or office hours that afternoon; if not, you may be in business.

That's a definite possibility! Let me talk to ACat who has to be the poor shlub who has to get me from the doctor's to whereever I vegitate for the rest of the day, and see if it works better for me to vegitate with you guys or with Bedlamhouse and family, since they also offered. Either way, I am immensely grateful for the offer. I hope you folks will let me cook you dinner when I'm back to competence again.
