Spike ,'Touched'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
was intubated for a kidney stone procedure where they just kept pinging me to break up the stones but that I was conscious=ish for major abdominal surgery.
I think that's for the convenience of the doctors, so you don't move around and mess up the targeting.
I'm sorry , Scrappy.
Matt has been told more than once to stop watching whatever surgery is happening to his body. His mom was a nurse, and he just likes to see. But they tell him to go back to sleep and he does.
I'm really sorry about Zorro, Scrappy.
I wanted to watch my foot surgeries, but they wouldn't let me. Probably just as well.

am I the only 12-year-old here? I laughed!
Thanks for the How Stuff Works link -- that explains a whole lot! And I see by the notes I wrote down with my pre-procedure call with the nurse (to go over what I had to do with the prep) that the drugs they were going to use were Versed and Fentanyl.
If there IS a next time (probably, if they want a screening every X years from now on), maybe I can talk them out of the Versed, so I can remember. Or else talk them into taping me and my questions. Or let me post on Facebook during, which would be hi-larious. (Maybe not that....)
Actually, I barely remember dressing myself after the procedure, or being walked over to the recovery alcove. I guess I know what it's like to be roofied -- in the safest way possible.
The versed's not only there so you don't remember, Theo. It's there so you're calm and it doesn't bother you. I know which way I want to gamble when people are poking about.
I have to read the AP feed for work, and it's all Syria today. It's a little unnerving.
I didn't mean to kill the thread, though. Sorry.
Jeez, Amy.
Nah, just kidding. A half-hour isn't even a thread nap!
I am trying to put together a package of information for my boss to prepare her for a meeting with a higher-up that will show my effort. Good times.
That sounds like an unfun.
I'm debating the merits of publicly correcting all the spelling errors in my new manager's emails. Probably not a good idea, I guess.
