This has been a week of medical firsts for me. It was the first time I saw my mother have major surgery, my first trip to the ER (that I can remember), my first panic attack, my first CT scan, my first MRI, my first herniated disc, my first major allergic reaction.
So, in honor of my lovely lower lumbar region, I have created a playlist.
The Herniated Disc:
1) Something Wrong by the Bang Gang
2) Hospital Beds by the Cold War Kids
3) What Sarah Said by Death Cab for Cutie
4) Your Rocky Spine by the Great Lake Swimmers
5) Get Back by the Beatles
6) Leaving the Hospital; I'm going home by The Dreamer and the Sleeper
7) Back Broke by The Swell Season
8) I Hurt Too by Katie Herzig
9) The Cure for Pain by Jon Foreman
10) Take Your Medicine by Cloud Cult
11) Modern Chemistry by Motion City Soundtrack
12) You Can Do It by Ice Cube
13) Dare You to Move by Switchfoot
14) I've Seen Better Days by Sublime
15) Be OK by Ingrid Michaelson
Larry K,
ReplyDeleteYour ailment (or at least your CD) sounds like a hoot, holler, and a half. The shift to my boy Ice Cube was enjoyably surprising, and I didn't know you listened to Cold War Kids or Sublime. I also never realized how much of a taunt Dare You to Move could be.
I had a big laugh and literal knee slap over Get Back and startled my dogs in the process. I hope when I get to have my herniated disc that it's as punny, hysterical, and narcotic-filled as yours.

P.S. Did you use the acoustic or full version of Be OK? I used acoustic. I always thought there was more of a plead in how mellow it is.
P.P.S. Hope you feel better and stay so funny.
