Surgery...wish me luck. UPDATE

elkoholic
Going to have some bone spurs removed from my elbow tomorrow morning. I've only had one other surgery in my life and it was almost 15 years ago. I hate hospitals. I think my problem is mostly about my control issues. I didn't sleep much last night and my stomach is a mess today.

The only good news is I might get a day or so to sit around the house a boost my post count.[8D] No telling what might come out when I add a few pain killers to the mix.

Heading out for my pre-op in abou1 10 min. Wish me luck.

    UPDATE
    I'm home. It hurts like an SOB but I'm alive. They did use a general anesthetic. The recovery was good. The Vicodin didn't help at all so they gave me something else. Can't remember what is is, good news I don't care...it works well. I've settled into bed with the laptop and a few hunting vids.

    See, I told you. Glad you're okay. Enjoy the painkillers. But not too much.

    A liberal application of blondes will certainly help. Take two and call me in the morning.

    Glad you made it home.

    A lot of those operations end with fatalities.

    I can't properly "apply" myself to the one blonde I've got right now.

    The Vicodin is for a week from now, when it doesn't hurt any more.
    Take one Vicodin with two gin and tonic and you will feel no pain.
