AggieDave 6 #1 October 1, 2004 Tomorrow at about 2pm I go under the knife for what is supposed to be an easy/minor day surgery. It probably sounds really lame, but I'm pretty damned nervous about it, I don't like hospitals and I really don't like the idea of being drugged out of my mind. Its actually pretty humorous. I have over 1300 jumps, I'm a TI, I've had 2 cutaways, a reserve malfunction, I've been in a plane wreck, I ride a motorcycle and have stared down a gun; however, I'm nervous about having a day surgery. I guess it has to do with a lack of control. I hate vibe threads so I'm not asking for vibes, I'm asking for luck. Since I know I'll get a shitload of PMs, I have Varicocele (Clicky), its not a big deal, just needs to be fixed so I'm not in intense pain anymore (as I've been for the past month or so). Keep it cool, since it is sort of a "private" thing (no jokes please), I just wanted some luck shared since I am nervous.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #6 October 1, 2004 Quotef you want a fun rush try and fight the anesthetic funny as heck!! I'm gonna try to whistle the chicken dance while going under...supposedly they're not putting me fully to sleep but damned near close. I wanna see if I can pull through the cloud enough to whistle that during surgery. Why? Why not? Its humorous to me and it helps me not be so nervous.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christoofar 0 #7 October 1, 2004 You know I have fears about all sorts of little stuff too... day surgery though isn't one of them... but I've had nightmares about bungee jumping before, and even driving too fast scares the shit out of me. Jumping out of a plane? No problem. We all have our fears and demons, pal. You'll be fine! Everytime I go in for surgery, I always ask if they can get some of that fat cut off too while they're at it... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!

That reminds me, I was gonna ask my Dr. for a penis enlargement while I'm in there...why? Don't need one, but it'd be funny.

lawrocket 3 #11 October 1, 2004 As far as painful surgeries go, this one ain't it. It'll leave you weakened and SERIOUSLY limit mobility for a while, but it was one of the least painful surgeries I've ever had. My wife is hotter than your wife.

I've been under general anesthesia twice in my life -- once for wisdome teeth extraction, and once for colonoscopy -- and it's actually kinda cool to experience! I like waking up being taken care of and watched and the disorientation is fun, plus the realization that you can be injected with something that renders you totally senseless... It's an interesting life experience. Plus, you can look forward to waking up with better-working plumbing! Be well. THINK GOOD THOUGHTS! (I'm serious.

SniperCJ 0 #15 October 1, 2004 Good Luck Dave! I had day surgery a few weeks ago (shrapnel in my finger) under general anesthesia. One minute I'm talking to the guy. Mid-sentence I'm OUT! Never knew what hit me. And I was giggly as hell coming out of it I was worried about it too (bein a major control freak), but it was kinda fun. Dont sweat it big guy!

nacmacfeegle 0 #18 October 1, 2004 Luck is for losers Dave, you'll be fine, and when its all done, you can get down to the serious business of making Wee Daves. Toasting your successful op, and return to normality (whatever that is). FWIW I've been under local several times, just sit and chat with the crew, ask what that funny machine in the corner does, etc, it'll be over before you know it.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

BIGUN 1,425 #21 October 1, 2004 Well then take control. When ya lie down on the table, grab the doctor by the testicles and say, "Now, we're not going to hurt each other, are we?" Sorry, bro... hadda do it. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A breakdown in doctor/patient communication I presume or maybe just a slip of the scaple. "YIKES, sorry about that, Mr. Johnson, uhmm I mean Ms. Johnson.", the doctor was qouted of saying after the botched operation.
