Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Sounds like I have my lunch planned for Tuesday. Movie wise, I vote for the Princess Bride if you'll be able to laugh. And just about anything Cusack works. I saw the Tao of Steve last week which was pretty funny too. See if any of your friends have tv collections. One lent me two years of Sopranos after my first surgery. You never know what's lurking... Fran > > > > > > , > > > > > > > > > > > > I had upper/lower surgery on 30 Oct 03.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Great suggestions. I've heard the Princess Bride is hysterical, but I've never seen it. I'll definitely watch that and the others, too. :-) > > > > > > > , > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I had upper/lower surgery on 30 Oct 03.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 My favorite funny movie is Indiana and the Last Crusade. Raiders of the Lost Ark was good too. (Didn't like the 2nd movie in the series.) If you like gentler humor, Anne of Green Gables is not just for kids. Husbands of all ages stand in the doorway for hours on end, swearing they're not watching that " Kids' show " even as they're laughing at it. I even know a tough Army sargeant who finally gave up standing in the doorway and took a spot on the couch with the rest of his family, saying, " This isn't so bad for a kids' show.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 A question about funny movies - can you bear to laugh after the surgery? Right now, when I have facial/jaw pain, smiling is the most painful thing I can do. Whenever I want to laugh, I have to hold my face down with my hands to keep the cheekbone pain under control. When people know I'm having bad days, they'll say, " No laughing! " and then do something to make me laugh, just to hear me laugh and whimper in the same breath. Is it going to be less painful after surgery, or will I be so numb I won't feel myself laughing? Kris > > > > > > > > > , > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I had upper/lower surgery on 30 Oct 03.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 A question about funny movies - can you bear to laugh after the surgery? Right now, when I have facial/jaw pain, smiling is the most painful thing I can do. Whenever I want to laugh, I have to hold my face down with my hands to keep the cheekbone pain under control. When people know I'm having bad days, they'll say, " No laughing! " and then do something to make me laugh, just to hear me laugh and whimper in the same breath. Is it going to be less painful after surgery, or will I be so numb I won't feel myself laughing? Kris > > > > > > > > > , > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I had upper/lower surgery on 30 Oct 03.
