Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

    I had no mask for my surgery. Maybe because it was removing wisdom teeth.

    My surgery was then starting liquid in my arm. I’m wheeled to the surgery room where three nurses are setting things up.

    They see I’m nervous. “Don’t worry! Doctor X is very good,” she pauses. “We do call him the velociraptor though.”

    “Why?”

    “Because he has short arms!”

    “That’s mean!” I say.

    They laugh. “You won’t remember, it’s fine.”

    “I’ll remember!” I try and say, but my mouth is full of gauze and I’m in a very different room.

    No sense of passage of time. In surgery, then in recovery. Hated that.
