I hope it's quick, clean, and doesn't slow you down for long.

12. I was sort of joking here, but I thank you all that replied
Actually, I have never had any real surgery before and I'm 42..lol. I've had two blown ear drums, 3 holes put in my eyeball, tore my cornea in the same eye, had my saliva glands rupture but I have never gone through something where they knock me out on purpose. :)

I know it will all be fine, but I did this thread to be dramatic since I never really get to post dramatics on here.

Thanks again to the people who responded. :hi:

14. Long story, but I'll try to sum it up
When I was a teen we used to like to sneak out of the house and hang out in the neighborhood together. One night my friend and I met up and we were waiting for the rest of the guys to show up. We used to do stuff that wasn't so cool lol, but oh well...we were kids.

Anyway we were walking down the street and I looked in a car and saw some dude doin' his woman in the back seat. I motioned to my friend to open the passenger side of the car and I was going to open the driver's side. We opened both doors at the same time and took off. The dude jumped out, pulled up his pants and yelled "I got you suckers".

He was chasing me between the back of houses and I turned to look at him and when I turned back I got clothes-lined by a telephone pole guide wire. I flipped up and landed on my back. I looked up and the guy was there. I jumped up and took off and hid behind another friend's house.

The next morning my throat was hurting and swollen. As time went on that day it got worse and then I felt sharp pains. My parent's took me to the doctors and while I was waiting I was spitting up in the drinking fountain. Red, green and other weird colors..lol.

17. Comforting vibes headed your way.
I had my first "real" surgery at 37, so I understand where you are coming from.

21. You don't have a wife and children.
Better I should tell the Bud Light people they should expect a backstock for a little while, maybe?

Best of fortunes tomorrow, man. After you recover, we should have a get-together and you can tell us young'uns war stories. :toast:
