Having to wait in nervous anticipation of pending surgery sucks.

I love all your sounds.
Oh noes.
I hope you told them you are DT, so you get special treatment.
I will send good thoughts your way.

Did you read the first post where they said they were slicing DT open? What part of that doesn't sound painful................:biglaugh:
You'll be fine DT, and Mike can wait on you hand and foot for a while, nevermind, he does that anyways..........:icon_bigg
Well, by "slicing," I mean "small incision in my belly button" and "another small incision a few inches below that."
The most painful part, I've been told, is dealing with leftover carbon dioxide in my abdominal cavity that will be pumped in there to give a better view of my innards. Whatever's left over presses against the diaphragm and causes pain in the neck and shoulders.
But my doc gave me Lortab. I think I'll be okay.
This is the beginning to then end of being in near-constant pain for the past 6-8 years. I've lost count at this point.
....and doc says no sex for 7-10 days after surgery.
It's a fairly simple procedure, and if I had a "normal" sit-down type job, I'd be back to work on Monday or Tuesday. But I groom dogs. Lots of bending, twisting, lifting, etc. My doc told me to take all next week off. Like I'm going to argue.

Very good with minor bad sounds like...here's to hoping all goes smoothly, you stay asleep through it, assuming your going under for this. And, that recovery is as quick and as painless as possible.
There seems to be a surgery bug going around this site lately.....

Oral?? I sometimes prefer oral over ground and pound.

You'll be fine, DT. The docs are fucking near wizard status by now. My X went through the same procedure.
Oh, ya, if the stitches in the belly button infect, don't believe any of Mike's friends telling you that rubbing alcohol doesn't hurt. DAMN that was funny!

Off to the hospital in 4 hours.
I guess I should get some sleep since I'm driving. We'll check in with you guys when we get back.
(And yes, the MKIII gets the patient transport job, it's the most comfortable car we own.)
'night all and thanks for all the kind wishes, etc.
