I don't know what they use for eye surgeries but I was semi-lucid. A hernia operation and repairing a broken hip were fully out of the picture. I declined the joy juice for a colonoscopy. It was fascinating watching it on the monitor.

Heh - tend to AGREE :-) I note most of the "super-agers" like their whisky and cigs and nasty foods. Not to vast excess, but hardly tea-totaler puritans either :-) They ENJOY their 100+ years. Those others - sour and bitter and vengeful ... the classic torture-loving "Girls Reform-School Marms" and "ban everything" fanatics.

No grogginess or anything. They made a big deal about not driving so I'd also taken a cab into town that morning. George McGovern was a part time resident and had a bookstore in Stevensville, about 30 miles south. The driver had the misfortune of picking McGovern up after whatever he had done. He bitched all the way home about having to take a cab.

No grogginess or anything. For my hernia repair I walked into the OR at 1:00, came to at 3:00, and at 5:00 was home and climbing stairs (albeit gingerly). Surgery does some amazing things these days. I dropped my wife off at 8:00 to get her gall bladder out. When I picked her up at 5:00 she walked out under her own power.

But mostly medicine is just a half-step beyond leeches and 'bleeding'. The docs ruined and killed my brother. Watched it happen in slow motion. Procedures and pills, then procedures and pills to fix the procedures and pills and so on and so forth until his insurance ran out. Then they DUMPED him to die. Me, all I've got is MediCare. It's INTENTIONAL. No endless money mine for the docs/hospitals. This makes them keep it to the point, JUST what's needed, no BS. Hardly the nicest solution, but, these days, what HAS to be done.

Same for my first hernia. And the Cystoscopy. But heart ops were local only, with lots of fentanyl Full jungle juice for orchidectomy and laminectomy - overnight stay and kicked out the next day full of painkillers.

Sadly I wasn't, Unconforable and very painful. I begged the doctor to stop when pushing a camera up my prick, Bloody agony, They put me out the next time, and all that happened is that it still hurt like fuck every time I peed for two days.

Every now and then a miniature pair of scissors would shoot out to harvest tissue for later examination. It was interesting but I'm just as happy I've passed the age where they want to do them. Joel might be into having things shoved up his ass but I'm not.

Great warm whoosh and I was gone... I had a neck fusion recently and was given fentanyl. I was under about 5 hours, and had some heart irregularities, so the small practise sent me to another hospital, by ambulance. I talked to the ambulance guy about soccer. At the hospital, I lay in a holding area for quite awhile. I got a turkey sandwich which I ate in tiny bites. The time in the hospital room was awful. I had to get a chemical stress test, which wiped me out. I had to beg the covering physician to let me go home. Then I had to sleep upright in a recliner, then wear an electrical stimulator. While walking I tripped over a concrete klinker and walked the rest with bleeding. I got used to, riding on my road bike, looking to the left and right with my limited motion. But enough about my sillyass. -- Not every question deserves an answer.

Took me 18 months to be able to hold my head up straight and I still have pain from damaged nerves. -- All political activity makes complete sense once the proposition that all government is basically a self-legalising protection racket, is fully understood.
