amrdmr 1 Posted April 8, 2007 Well, not applicable to all newbies, just those susceptible to weeping at sentimental moments in movies, which I did tonight, 19 days post surgery (?) on 3/20. Our satellite showed "The Lakehouse" for the first time and I settled in to enjoy it on TIVO, while my husband watched another TV (he's a channel flipper). Get to the part where she's waiting all alone in the restaurant, Keanu Reeves doesn't show up, I KNOW he was the one killed by the bus, I start sobbing and my band started squeezing! In a place I never felt pain before (i.e. not my port site)! Yikes! Luckily, Hubby came in and did what usually lands him in the doghouse, tells me the ending and so I am able to stop crying. Actually, as soon as I felt that squeezing, I stopped crying RIGHT AWAY! Sheesh, scared me to death. :omg: It was a REALLY weird feeling, like having something almost alive in there. Boy, too stupid/ridiculous to risk ripping stitches or slipping the band or port flipping or all the disasters you read about on these boards over a movie! No more sentimental movies for me for a while, no comedies either, nothing to upset _______ (no name yet.....maybe I should name her Sandra Bullock?).

NVgirl 2 Posted April 8, 2007 I'm taking a week off work when I have my surgery, and plan on watching all sorts of weepy chick flicks that my guy won't watch with me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amrdmr 1 Posted April 8, 2007 maybe I'm weird in that my stomach starts "shaking" when I cry or laugh really hard, but tonight's incident has made me forswear undue emotion as much as possible until I am sure that my band has healed in the right , the port is ok, etc. BTW, I do love my DH, but he is a zero when it comes to watching chick flicks with me! Nice to work out an arrangement to watching sentimentals versus rock-em sockem, blow em up movies separately. AMRDMR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
