Juuust TRY & stop somebody talking about what ails them, whether it be physical or mental—or both. I don’t want to look callus, unfeeling or rude, but, holy chatterbox, Batman!!!
Novel idea!! Maybe we can also go retro: interrupt the monologue with some commercial breaks:
1) oh your surgery was painful you say? Have you tried Tylenol extra strength? Oh it actually way better that regular Tylenol, and it isn’t a blood thinner like Ibuprofen!
2) sorry to interrupt, but did you have someone waiting for you to bring you home from surgery? Lyft is easy to use right from your phone. Here, let me show you on mine. You just put in the destination: see I even programmed in my home address so I can just click on it like this. Oh, and someone is just 3 minutes away. And then click here to share the ride details with a loved one. And look at that, my ride is here! Toodaloo!

I LOVE IT!!! Plus, some of the people who have a good sense of humor, will start laughing at my “commercial break”!
