Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

I took two points away from this:

  1. She has no humor/had a bad day/etc
  2. They are all about the process/procedure and me making a joke broke the line of movement

Either way, it seemed a stupid reaction and I felt very poorly about her ever since then. It’s been maybe 12 years and I still think of it sometimes.-

Thanks for that, I hadn’t thought of it in those terms. Shockingly, being given permission somehow helped? I’ll have to remember that the next time I see someone in distress.

I could easily spew up the angry contents of the rabbit holes that are lobotomies, and their horror, but yeah, I also agree that that’s a weird reaction. I chuckled. I may have to reserve your comment for my next intake at the neurologist, depending on the vibe in the room (but also not, cause those folks professionally monitor how well my brain is functioning lol)
