It's a ritual, I think it's more spiritual than gross, but that's just me.

Went into shock while they were trying to get novacaine into one of the fuckers.
But: I got a leg up on physical pain. I'll bet you do too.....

(68,644 posts)Just had mom's ceremony today, can't remember if I brought you by the house or not but I think you may have met her.
Anyway, dad went in February, mom on May 24.
We're dropping like flies. Cousin Randy is in worse shape than anyone- he has a softball or so larger colon growth that the doctors don't even want to look at.
Peace, brother.

I can do both.

(38,339 posts)But my wife convinced a surgeon to let her watch while they cut her open to remove screws from her bones. I'll bet 99.9% of people in her situation opt for general anesthesia if it's even a question.
I'm somewhat functional when I'm the only one around to deal with blood and guts and the adrenalin is flowing, but afterwards I always get sick. Get the job done, puke later. I never volunteer for that sort of stuff.
I used to work with transplant techs. Best people in the world, but they are different. I tried not to think too much about what was in the coolers they handed me or how they got it.

(6,154 posts)Like she had screws because of a previous serious break? Umm... no thanks. Put me to fucking sleep!
And she brought home the screws as a souvenir.
My sister is a paramedic and she's like that too.
