I always insist on being out for the count. One guy was even going to put a tube down into my stomach "you won't need anything, the whole procedure only takes 20mts"...20mts while I'm choking ? No thanks.
I insist on knowing what's going to happen, who's going to be in theatre and how I'm going to feel afterwards. The favourite lie seems to be "you'll feel some discomfort". Yeah, right. The body knows when its been subjected to violence, and reacts accordingly.
The weird thing is that the hospitals are only to happy to see the back of me. Apparently they are no place for people who are estatic to be alive after an op. Must upset the doom and gloom I guess.
My kidney stone op included (believe it or not) a trolley stop on the way to theatre, to argue 4wd topics with the ladies pushing. I didn't feel so bad after that :)
Was shopping recently and one
young assistant was so naturally exuberant that I thought , "gee, if only I were 100 years younger"....
And when I go bush I can almost convince myself that I am :)))))))
