Hey dudes and dudettes
So today I'm sitting in a waiting room. In a few hours the doctor is going to put my insides back in. I have some time to kill. Have you ever had an operation. Did you died? It's my First one.

surgery blows but you get good stories out of it, and the scars are fun after they've had some time to heal
good luck halkun

it's so smooth now
no more unsightly lumps!
I've never had an operation, and I imagine I'd be scared if I did go through one. I'll be praying for ya!
That said, I imagine bellybutton surgeries often go well.
it looks like it was designed by apple
gonna get my balls done next
It's not like sleeping at all. You're awake in one room, maybe start to feel the drugs a tiny bit, then BAM you're waking up somewhere else and you have no clue what year it is.
You're going to be freaking out once you put on the gown and get in the bed, up until the point where they put the IV in and start with the anesthetics.
Until that point, just focus on keeping your shit together, and remember that these guys went to school for years just to learn how to properly reattach a digit. Don't worry if the stress hits you all at once and you get a little weepy; grown adults go into surgery and have similar reactions all the time.
You're going to be really disoriented once the anesthesia wears off, and depending on your reaction to the drugs, you might have some minor itching and cotton mouth. They'll have IV drugs to counteract the itch, and they'll give you ice chips as long as you keep asking for them. You'll be loopy for a while as well, but once you're up and cogent, they'll move you from the recovery ward to a more private room. The most important thing post-op is to stay hydrated, and make sure the doctors don't need you to stay on a restricted diet.
You're gonna want to make sure you pay attention to your dressings as well; if you think they need changing, don't hesitate to ask a nurse, that's what they're there for. In fact, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call for a nurse or doctor in the ward; it's their job to make sure you hold up okay during recovery.
You'll be fine, and depending on how long the docs want to keep you for observation, you'll have a few days of room, board and food, generously provided by your insurance provider.
or they put the balls inside of your dick shaft or something I don't know I am no genius
I've asked if they can go ahead and remove it. I haven't used it in over 30 years. They said no. :C
the first time they did it to me they started up the drip and then started sticking me here and there with other things
i was still awake for the artery tap, which they said was probably going to hurt quite a bit
in it went
i said, "augh holy shit, you weren't kidding," and everybody in the room laughed, and then click
woke up hours later

The docs are going to put a rubber mask on your face, and ask you to count down from ten. You'll be out by eight.
When you wake up, your body is not going to want to do anything you tell it to; your eyes are going to want to stay shut, and none of your limbs are going to be in any hurry to go anywhere. That's natural. Your throat's going to be a little hoarse as well, but that's just from the breathing tube; that'll go away pretty fast, especially since you'll be chugging enough water and Gatorade to flood a dolphin tank.
Just don't push yourself, and let your body work out it's shit in it's own time.
But he hasn't had surgery yet?
How can he walk it off?
Satans..... hints.....
mmmhmmm
The area they cut into may ache a bit, and you'll probably be groggy for a while after you wake up, but other than that you'll be fine.
Real Men don't need Surgery
And for another surgery, I had my tonsils out, my turbinates reduced, and my deviated septum fixed.
Satans..... hints.....
After you wake up, you can pretty much say to yourself "Well, now I know what death is like."
Just absolutely nothing.
Several liver transplants later, people stopped playing when they figured out Stale would outlive their bodies' ability to filter alcohol.
Missed opportunities.
Satans..... hints.....
I wish I could show you my work schedule. I have no DI bennies either so this week is marked as "unpaid leave."
I'm hoping that I can get to occupational functionally by next Monday.
surgery: just like death, so chill
So like I said, you get to spit on the name of your insurance provider's CEO, and tell your bosses to shove it up their asses.
(That sucks dude, sorry.
This is silly from a goose.
If it's an outpatient procedure, you should be unfucked up by tomorrow at the latest, though you may be tired for a while longer.
Well, on the bright side, you will probably die later today
