Oh hi.

Oh hi! Happy New Year! I’m quite overdue in posting all about the surgery experience and the way anesthesia was less like a light switch being turned off and on and more like a power outage followed by the clock blinking 12:00. Or maybe a lightning storm. Also, I think it’s weird there’s music played in the OR. Also, I have other things to say. But the good news is there wasn’t any cancer and they were able to save both ovaries and everything that went into my IV hurt like a motherfucker. That wasn’t the good news, it was just something I wanted to add. Specifically the last thing they gave me before I was knocked out, which I’m thinking must have been propofol. All I remember is they put a mask on me and said it was oxygen and then I ripped the mask off and began coughing and they said to someone else, “That’s normal,” and then I felt an intense burning in my hand, like so bad I honestly thought to myself, “I don’t know how I’m going to be able to handle this,” and then I was out. If in fact someone was giving me a hot hand then I think that is poor judgment in the OR. I would be more ok with a dutch oven.

Um, but anyway, I will write a long post with more details. I did talk about some of it on The Adam Carolla Show last night.

In the meantime if you would like to hear some shows hosted by yours truly (that’s me) then I suggest these: In this one I interviewed Christopher Johns, the guy who witnessed (and had a bizarre role in) the Hollywood shooting and also I talked to Larry Miller about chicken. And sex. And other stuff. To be perfectly honest I had mixed feelings about my own performance on this one, as I was recording it, and so I haven’t listened to it yet. And then in this one Lynette and I talked about dating stuff and took your calls and I accidentally hung up on some people as they were saying goodbye. And before they were saying goodbye.

Ok then!

Also I can’t stop watching this baby bat and this baby polar bear.

Also I received some bad news (nothing medical!)  last night and in the Vicodin haze I just had a sense that it was something I would be upset about if I were able to feel upset however I regained ability in the middle of the night so yay. Now I’m upset.

    The one about the shooting and Larry Miller (unrelated) was very good.  I'm a big fan of Larry's (as well) so that may be why, but you two were very funny and play off of one another well.  I had not heard anything about the shooting so I found it very interesting.  It was also great to hear about his premonition just prior to the shooting.

    I was listening to the podcast and enjoying my lunch when suddenly I hear “yellow bright liquid shoots out of your ass” Thanks!

    Funny, I was thinking of adopting a baby bat.  Glad you're back and with both “ov's” intact! 🙂

    I now layer my Old Spice Deodarant and Aftershave. And will forever – more!

    Just so you know, I think you're a wonderful addition to the show. If only you were single… <3

    I know that the Chris Johns interview was a product of serendipity, but I would be really interested if part of the new podcast was you interviewing people in the news. You're such a good interviewer, and oftentimes the news doesn't get a chance to breathe on the ACS (though nowhere near as bad as Dr Bruce's Healthwatch segment gets cut into!).

    Either way, very excited for the audio incarnation of ARIYNBF 🙂

    Hi Alison – I'm very excited to hear your new show! So glad to hear that you came out of surgery ok.

  17. Linn January 3, 2012 at 8:19 pm #

    I agree: you and Larry Miller are a winning combination. Can't wait for your show.

  18. Dick January 3, 2012 at 8:27 pm #

    Yey! thanks for another blog post.  Glad that you came through ok, but sorry about the harrowing details.
    Hang in there – you are fun to listen to and the best part of Adam;s show.

    Hey Tony, is that the show that Alison is reluctant to listen to because she thinks her performance was sub par? Pfft… that girl is waaaay too hard on herself at times. Like everyone here (I am just taking the initiative and representing everyone's point of view), I am totally fired up to get a weekly dose of AliRo as the host of her own podcast. I know she wants to name it ARIYNBF, but I still think she needs a different name to avoid confusion in the future. I can see us talking about something that happened on ARIYNBF, and everyone suddenly asking, “Which ARIYNBF?!?! The old one or the current, fancy dancy ARIYNBF show?!?”

  21. boinkity January 3, 2012 at 9:19 pm #

    Oh hey guys!… I made a comment, but not sure if it came thru. I got a msg about waiting for moderation or something…. Someone let me know if I have to write all that stuff all over!!

  22. Markthorburn January 3, 2012 at 6:22 pm #

    Glad to hear you’re okay! You sounded great on the podcast today

  23. TS January 3, 2012 at 6:27 pm #

    New version of ARIYNBF is still rough around the edges, but you will find your way.  It felt a little odd just having you do the show solo without interaction with the camera/chat/guests.  
    Seems like an odd suggestion, but maybe you should try the news?  I’m pretty sure you have leftovers and/or stuff you didn’t get to say on Carolla’s show.  

    Anyway, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

    Also, congrats on the new show, and also on the overall status of your genitals.

    Glad you are doing OK

    Enjoyed listening to the podcast State of the Union, but still waiting for the video on Ustream.
    Are episodes in 2012 going to be on Ustream?

    Hi, Alison,
    It was always a real treat in 2011 to watch the ACS live streaming on Ustream. This year you are not on Ustream. I really miss seeing you and the others; would you talk to Dawson about this?
    If the show is no longer going to be live streamed, could Dawson at least make an announcement, so we don't sit around forlornly every night at 8:00 pm.  Thanks.

    Glad it went well! Any idea when the new FCOL/ARIYNBF show is going to air? You mentioned it was going to (understandably) be on a separate feed, so please let us know when/how to find it.
    Best wishes!
