I'am having surgery on monday...(YEA) Seems I hurt myself while lifting some heavy paper at work.....Turns out I have a hernia in my lower abdominal area......I have been told it's a minor procedure and I will be under a local anesthetic.. But Im still a little nervous, with this being the first surgery I have had since I was a new born....Anyway I'm off work for 2 weeks, so I'll be around more than some may like.....L8*
 
My youngest son has to have oral surgery. They are going to sedate him. His teeth are all fucked up. Aside from how to pay for this, I am worried because he is only 5. So I totally can relate. I would be scared to. I have never had surgery, but I have observed in nursing.
 
Damn, last tiem I went in for a surgical procedure, they pumped me full of some kind of opiate. I was higher than shit. However, I had to have somebody drive me there and back and arranging a ride can be a pain in the ass. Hope things go well.

BTW, This has had me curious, what's your avatar from?
 
Damn I know I used this in another thread but De Ja Vu'.... My daughter is doing the same thing at the beginning of next month and she is 4. It is scary to have surgery yourself but to watch your baby being sedated and laying there so small and helpless is on the verge of terrifying.......Good luck to your son and good luck twist...... :)
 
The only experience I've had with surgery was positive...

I was three, and I got my tonsils taken out. I ate almost nothing but flintstone's push-ups for a week. When you're three years old, that's the life, I can tell you.

Good luck while you're under the knife :thumbsup:
 
Well...look at it this way..at least you won't have to get a hemorrhoid removed later in life...15 years of age and a hemi-roid...I gotta eat more veggies :).
 
a general anaesthetic makes me throw up when i regain consciousness. because of this, when they put me under, i have to have a considerable amount of anti-nausea medication added.

throat surgery sucks worse than upper oral surgery, but they all still suck.

forgive me of my ignorance (you know i'm normally not ignorant about a topic), but why are 5-yr-olds having oral surgery for teeth they will be losing anyway? is it something about the underlying and developing secondary teeth or is it actually some jaw-shape / jaw-construction / bite issue that's only peripherally related to the teeth themselves? i don't remember losing a single tooth before age 6...

I have had two surgeries on the same knee. It was no biggie, just an out patient surgery, so it's nothing to worry about. The only bad thing about it was that for a couple days afterward I had to lay in bed all day. I can't not move all day. But they give you meds for the pain and there is always some left after you don't need it anymore...so good luck with your surgery! :thumbsup:
