BWAHAHAHA!! Love Emmett.
At that point the nurse accused him of being a 50 y.o. man in an 8 y.o. body.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

A pretty juvenile 50 y.o., wouldn't you say?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
What a relief. I'm so glad too.

Hahahahah. I was never that calm and collected at that age. By then I'd had over 100 stitches in my face and spent 3 days in the hospital following a catastrophic asthma attack - after that, I got all kinds of panicky and weird about Things Medical.
I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled 3 years ago - Jilli can attest to this - and I was so nervous ahead of time I was given a Valium to take the morning of the procedure. I got all chatty and goofy, couldn't stand up straight. Went out like a light under general and woke up 1.5 hours later with no perception of the time passage. My memory of leaving the surgeon has no relation to what actually happened, and I promptly called my mom on my cel to tell her I was okay. She still has that voice mail and plays my mumbly, incoherent ranting to her friends for laughs.
Emmett sounds much more like I should've, and I sound like he - stereotypically - could've. :)

Now tagless for your comfort.
next Monday he goes back to school and can tell war stories.
Wanna bet he's the coolest kid in the class?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Our last nurse entered the room asking how he was doing and got an earful of "Well, the problem is this thing in my arm. It really hurts. Okay, maybe only a 3 on a scale of 10, but I drank my Sprite and I think it can come out now."
This really, really does sound like he's doing just fine. I'm so relieved.

Yay for Emmett, coming through with flying colors.

This was me. Count backwards from ten, they tell me.
"Ten, nine, eight, sev-"
"Okay, you can wake up now."

I'm home.
My apartment didn't get packed while I was gone.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Did you leave brownies out for them?

Now tagless for your comfort.
When I had my knee surgery, I was completely freaked out because it turned out that I knew one of the surgical nurses, but didn't know she was going to be in on my surgery. It was like a doped up family reunion.
I'm naked, cold and stoned, ready to get the gas:
"Hi, Lisa."
"Whoa, Paula! I didn't even realize you were a nurse! Doooood."
"Count backwards from 10."
"Uhhhh...10....9....."
