I’d recommend looking for the MacLeod tartan. 
Seriously though, best of luck, Becks. Do what the doctor tells you. And try not to divulge any secret goat-related SDMB initiation rituals while you are under the anesthetic. 
Tattoo??
While I was googling, I found tartan places that sold it. It wasn’t cheap.
There was a stuffed bear that could be purchased wearing your choice of tartan.
I saw what you did there.
They wouldn’t let me bring my gallstones home either - and I’d bet those are way prettier than tumors or diseased kidneys! No fun at all :mad:.
Here’san alternative, if anyone has Beck’s home address :D.
I like it.
Has anyone heard from Pancho and Lefty’s landlord?
She posted in the MMP a half hour ago.
I’m here. Not feeling the best. Nervous about tomorrow and the Surgeon’s office. Crossed fingers for Lefty.
All my best. I went under the knife for a hip replacement twenty years ago, and was frightened as hell. I went out under a very bright light, just saw the syringe, and woke up, pissing off a nurse, saying, “I’m trying not to say ‘fuck’”.
She was running a fever earlier, had oatmeal for breakfast before the pesky Daughter In Law showed up to belittle her. Applied for some crazy under-funded art project that she can’t possible handle and doesn’t even want. She took a nap, walked the dogs, then got right back on the internet.
How far off am I?
Beck, I’m sending you best wishes and prayers.
I’ve found the anticipation of surgery is far worse than having it.
You’ll soon be home with your family and will have many bad,bad,bad stories to share.
Dude! Seriously?
(:))
The surgery date will probably be set in Feb. sometime if Lefty is still healthy. Pancho (righty)will be evicted. I’m nervous. I know I have to have it done. So I’m ok about it. Kinda.
I misunderstood “I’m here”. I thought you were tucked into a hospital bed for surgery tomorrow.
My bad. 
I should have remembered medical wheels turn slowly.
Lots of good vibes and positive energy for tomorrow, for you and for Lefty. hugs
Good luck tomorrow, Becks. We’ll be pulling for you!
You know that all of the straight dope is in your corner, even us lurkers.
Good luck today, Beck! We’re all rootin’ for ya!
Here’s how it’s going down;
Appointment with the 'Smooth operater’is at 1pm.
I’ll see the lab first. For the vampires to grab bood. And then pee-ing in the cup. .
Then to waiting room to, wait for it… ‘WAIT’ (go figure)
And, finally see the ‘Smooth Operator’ for the report on Lefty and the eviction of Pancho.
To the relief of everyone, (no doubt) and myself!
I’m so ready to get O’DOSH accomplished.
And, since ‘everythingintheworld’ is about me, I thought I’d share.
Thanks for all you guys concern:{{{smoochies}}}
I’ll be back later with the details.(:))
