On Friday the thirteenth, some guy with a mask slashed my throat. Thankfully, his name was Dr. Verma, not Jason Voorhees, and the slicing was for an anterior approach to my c5/c6 cervical joint for an artifial disc replacement. Even better, I was under anesthesia the whole time.
It takes about 3 monhts for enough bone to grow into the implant to anchor it enough for normal, daily life. So even though I will feel better in a few weeks, it will take a few months of sitting quielty and resting until it's strong enough to return to work.
So what to do in the meantime? I turned to the modern-day best friend to the couch potato, the B-movie and TV proviso for the midnight bleary and meth head alike. I decided to turn my attention to Netflix.
Over the course of my recovery, I will watch and review as many films as I can on Netflix. The reviews will be posted in this blog. I think 100 is a very easy goal to set for this project, with the only limitiation my return to work. But who knows - I may have so much fun I keep going.
The reviews will not be typical, and I ascribe to no specific scale. But beware - they shall be judged on a whim.
And to make things more interesting, I'll be reporting the various post-surgical medications I'm taking at the time of the review, and each review gets a single markup and rewrite before posting. In spite of the modern miracles called auto spell and grammar check, expect to see unpolished pieces with errors of both kinds. I'm curious how different medications affect my writing.
