Sure, Why Not?

Wanna hear something fabulous?  I'm scheduled for surgery the day before Thanksgiving.  Sounds fun, right?  What could possibly be more fun than that?  Perhaps surgery three days before Christmas?  Oh, right, I have one scheduled then too.

Super-fun, right?

I went to see a new specialist about my stupid wrist this afternoon and the first date suggested for surgery was the Wednesday between my first and second finals (which are on Tuesday and Friday).  That's not going to work.  When he offered to squeeze me in right before Thanksgiving, I knew we had a winner.

I'm going to be in a cast for two weeks after surgery.  Engagement party is Dec. 17th.  We certainly couldn't have me in a cast at my engagement party.  I might have bought myself something sparkly for the occasion.  It's possible I have the dress in the first picture hanging in my closet right now.  Fun as it might be, I don't think I need to dress up my cast like this:

This is from my joint birthday party with my former roommate.  

She had surgery on her finger.  We had a table reserved at a bar and a limo.

You can't have an informal cast in a limo. It's just not right.

If it's possible to have too much sparkle, the sequin cast cover with the sequin dress might be too much.  But it's not possible to have too much sparkle, so we're good.

So, I'm having surgery immediately before Thanksgiving and again right before Christmas.  Why not?  What about that sounds like a bad idea?  The fact that I'll be trying to type my exams with a cast on my hand?  Nah.
