The surgery was a complete success. I was out for just over an hour and in the facility for just over 3. It's quite a quick process really and finally, FINALLY I am on the road to recovery. I have many weeks of severe boredom to look forward to. Gamecube, television, internet, guitar... I may even resort to a book or two, who knows to what depths I will sink. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. It's going to be a painful road. At least days like today with over 60cm of snowfall portray one hell of a pot of gold at the end of this nasty rainbow.
It was pretty funny in the operating theater. The anesthetist started asking me all these questions about drinking and stuff. Seemed a little odd until I finally worked out that's how he works out how much anesthetic to use: the more you can drink the more drugs you need to knock you out properly. Turns out I need a lot. It's a strange sensation as the sedatives enter your bloodstream: feels like you're being injected with mercury or something; lovely. I thought it was especially appropriate that he made several suggestions for dreams I should be aiming for while I was out. My favorite was the Swedish lap dancers. Such a classy man.
