flippyshark's first surgery tomorrow
 

Hi all. Tomorrow (Wednesday) I will be undergoing hernia surgery. it's the very first time in my heretofore uber-lucky life that I will be going under the knife. It's a pretty routine procedure, and I'm looking forward to having it done. My inner 12 year old is a little freaked at the thought of being anaesthetized, just because I've never done it before, and I tend to resist giving my consciousness up to sleep let alone to some stranger in a white mask. Still, I expect everything will go smoothly, and then I will be convalescing for a few days here at home. Check in with y'all when I get back.

Too a speedy recovery Flippy.:)

I have had three repaired at once.

Thanks for alerting us. I'll have my goodvibeathon turned on to 11.

Be sure to type while on painkillers!

It entertains the rest of us.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!! And being anesthetized is sort of fun, you count backwards from 100 and by the time you get to 99, it's like HOLY COW I'M SLEE... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz oh, is it over?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from your surgery, flippy.

Thinking of you.

Best part about anesthesia for me is asking Nurse Gladys* "When am I going in?" and being told, "it's already been done" !
(*True story, only the names have been changed to protect the nurse)

We'll be thinking of you on Thursday (which is your Wednesday).

Hugs !!!



...PS: Watch what they remove, otherwise we'll have to call you "Darla". ;)

I'm sure it'll be a breeze and a snap - but I'll be really disappointed if you don't play it up... THEATER!!!

We're thinking of you...

The anesthesia is the easy part! Waking up is what sucks.

You'll be absolutely fine. And don't type while on drugs. Trust me.

speedy indeedy recovery for you Flippyshark. Hope there will be hot steamy and crispy corn dogs awaiting you.

Flippy,

I just had mine in March. Dose up on the pills, keep iced and don't use the "Buy it Now" feature on eBay while you're doped up.

I did, and the damndest things started showing up in the mail...

Good luck.

Chris needs to have this done at some point. It should be fairly easy and you should recover quickly. But, PLEASE type on pain killers, I need some competition.

Here's hoping for an uneventful procedure and a quick recovery.

We need to compile a 'Posting While Stoned' greatest hits thread- with all the surgeries we seem to have around here, it might rival the 'Sooo....' thread.:D



Feel better, Flippy!

I've brought the ham! :evil:

It's a breeze! I've had two of 'em. Unfortunately, the hernia just moved up the muscle wall and popped out again. So, until I lose a few pounds, get health insurance, and can take off from my business for at least a week, it will make about 23 years I've been going around with a hernia.

Left inguinal, if you're curious.

Good luck! Yeah, don't order shyt while on meds. My mom went a little nuts on the home shopping channel while recovering from back surgery. While she was wildly entertained by the stuff that started showing up, she admits it's not exactly stuff she'd have bought sober.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery! :)

What, are hernias now like tattoos? All the cool people get them?

Mom!

Anyway, good luck, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Wishing you well :)

Hope all goes well.

Sending you good, good, good, good vibrations.

Hope all goes well, and enjoy that morphine drip while you can!

And the oxycontin après! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Best of luck today... and yes, type while doped up!

Sending healing vibes to Flippyshark this morning.

Hope you are recovering nicely, and as GD said, enjoying the pain meds hwile you are able.

Speedy recovery to you, Flippyshark!
No worries!
:)

Thinking of you. :)

Here's hoping your surgery is uneventful and your recovery speedy!

Hope all goes well!

I hope everything went well and you are feeling no pain right about now. Here's to a speedy recovery:cheers:

Thanks everyone for the long distance hugs and good wishes. I am now convalescing, with the hel[p of my two fuzzkins. ( Can you train a cat to bring you soup?) I am told that today wil be my toughest day, aches and pain-wise. I have Vicodin, which is nowhere even close to the delightful substances they dripped into my system yesterday. I want more of that!

I hope this isn't too coherent for you all. It's an abtastic wham to the gearbox. Seven is less than the pied piper on his street machine, are you digging? Power to the puppies.

I dig.

Power to the puppies!

Right on Bro!

Up the dose.

When the person from Porlock knocks, don't answer.

Do you have a cold?
