Movies to Recover From Surgery By:

Hello all – I’m recuperating from a surprise surgery last week and am looking forward to Wednesday when my Harry Potter DVD will arrive via UPS (I just love Amazon). I spent today watching all 3 Pirates of the Caribbean back to back (in between bouts of dozing). Tomorrow will be Lord of the Rings. And then Wednesday will be my Harry Potter day! I don’t much get out to the movies – I’m one of those that just really prefer staying home where I can pause it if I need to and I can watch the movie sprawled out on the couch, snuggled up under a blanket!

It’s funny though how we react during sickness or recovery – the things we turn to for comfort. In my case you would think it would be books. But when I’m not feeling well it’s the movies I reach for. Like having a good friend sitting on the couch with you, commiserating with your aches and pains, not judging your unkempt hair or the slightly funky smells emanating from your general area (oh come on, you know it’s true!).

So wish me luck – I probably won’t be writing much for the next week or so (or at least until I can sit at the computer for more than 20 minutes without hyperventilating). Until then I’ll be with Frodo and Aragorn and Harry Potter and Captain Jack Sparrow!
