I finally got myself together to phone my father. He's so odd. We chitchatted about this and that - I told him a little about my trip to LA and we discussed the relative cleanliness of rain water vs. groundwater and how water is filtered to make it safe to drink - as one does. Then he brought the subject back to my potentially imminent surgery.
"You know, with surgeries like this you can get numb spots. Are you aware of this?"
"Yes."
"You're not bothered by that?"
"No. I'm all set."
"Have you discussed this with the surgeon."
"Yup, we went over it."
"And you're not worried?"
"Nope."
A bit later...
"So, Dad, was there any particular reason you wanted to talk to me?"
"Oh, I just thought you might be feeling nervous, I thought I'd call and buck you up."
Oh, really? Sounded to me as though you were trying to make me more nervous. Is it any wonder I fret about things, with a parent like this? I swear. I know it's just because he's worried, though.
So now I seem to have set Eor to seeking a digital photo frame for my Dad, because I haven't sent him photos in years. Anyone who has digital photo frames - how do you deal with the issue of containing information with the picture? Do you put a caption on the picture?
