I really hated canceling all my hot dates for the weekend.
Yesterday afternoon, right after posting a little video about me and my (imaginary) man, I headed to the doctor for a quick check-up about something I had noticed a few days ago.
That quick little check-up turned into him telling me that I’m going to have to have a little procedure. And I’m going to have to have it later this afternoon. Actually, he wanted to go ahead with it yesterday but I needed at least 24 hours to let it sink in.
He only gave me 22 hours, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.
It isn’t a major deal, but he said I’ll probably be in pain over the weekend. Here’s how THAT convo went down:
Mr. Doctor: “So, don’t plan anything for this weekend and if you already have plans, cancel them.”
Me: “This isn’t going to hurt, is it?”
Mr. Doctor: “Yes.”
Me: “Yes, what?”
Mr. Doctor: “Yes, it is going to hurt.”
Me: “Oh, well just while you’re doing it, right?”
Mr. Doctor: “No.”
Me: (Gulp.)
Pain and me, we don’t go well together. In fact, I’m so not looking forward to the whole ordeal that I seriously thought about skipping town tomorrow. But, um, “next right decision” — right?
Since I didn’t have advance notice about this, I don’t have anyone to write for me while I’m bonding with my bed. And so, I just wanted to mention it for those of you who check the blog daily (all one of you) in case I don’t feel up to writing about my hair.
Not that I ever do that, what with far more important topics to discuss like whether I should wear my light pink pajamas tonight or my hot pink ones?
And, furthermore, should it be the ones with the hot pink polka dots or the light pink stripes?
I just want to look good when Imaginary Boyfriend shows up with flowers, cards and candy.

Oh Amy Beth! If I knew where you lived I would show up with flowers, cards, candy and my 2 kids in tow… They would make you laugh, but they might destroy your house in the process!

Hi, Amy Beth. I like saying your name because my cousin’s name is Aimee Beth and I think you probably have similar personalities. I think of her when I read your blog, which I just happened to find last week.
Anyway, I sympathize with you about medical procedures and pain. I’m in the middle of an ailment the doctor is trying to diagnose, and he’s suggesting a procedure that I DON’T WANT TO HAVE. Ugh! I’m hoping something shows up in one of my labs tomorrow before I am subjected to the aforementioned procedure.
Hope it’s not as bad as you imagine. Take care.

Wanna hear something sick? I LOVE pain. I have had a filling done w/ no pain killer, gall bladder surgery w/ no meds after & 3 babies w/ absolutely no drugs.
You must not be one of “those” huh?
Praying for a successful procedure & a speedy recovery.

Trying to figure out how I can get a meal overnighted to you.
Prayers for a speedy recovery, AB. My advice: Take any and all drugs the doctor will give you.

I will be praying that everything goes well,and only slight discomfort. I too have a very low tolerance for pain, so I COMPLETELY understand. Looking forward to hearing how everything went.

I think I saw an “imaginary boyfriend” costume last time I was at the party store. You want I should rent it and bring you flowers. Come to think of it the costume was a little hairy - ape hairy. Are you into hairy men?

Hot pink should make you look like you’ve got color in case you start to look pale. You must look all kinds of fancy when greeting Imaginary Boyfriend.

Oh, pumpkin! I’m sorry!! I wish I could take your place for you. And not because I’m like that scary Mandy girl who commented up above. Really? She LIKES pain?!
Let the doc take care of you and I’ll pray right now for ya.

Still praying for you, AB. Hoping your pain meds have carried you off to a land where Imaginary Boyfriends double as Hot Male Nurses. Get better soon!
