on the quick-like

i woke up with all my clothes on.
-


the removal of my c-bone hardware seemed like such an easy gig ... just open up the shoulder, use the black n' decker drill briiip and excavate, then slap some mustard over the top of the stitches and send me on my merry way.


however,

i remember the heart rate monitor beeping alarms before i went under sedation. Paco the gay nurse's assistant was taking an exceptionally long, luxurios time shaving my shoulder in surgery preparations. I haven't had my neck held that long since guantanamo. The vein splitter nurse was chatting me up like a caffeinated squirrel as she injected drugs into my arm via a pluggy/IV-thing.

The anaesthesiologist watches me from behind a clipboard and keeps looking up at the beeping heart rate machine behind me. They finally reset the beeping machine to alarm off if my HR goes below 35 instead of 38.

i had no idea my hr was that low. i was just sitting there, enjoying Paco's massago-shavings and the sensations of nurse squirrel jabbering various needles into my arm. i guess 37bpm was all the excitement the scenario gave me.

anyway ... all during this session de' razors and stickpins ~ i'm nekkid as a jaybird under a flimsy, almost see through, surgi-gown.

and 2.5 hours later, when i awoke from the drugs and the cuttings ... you know that anaesthesia wake-up of not having any sense of time lapse ~ no dreams, nothing but a snip of reality sliced together ... i was wheeled out of the surgi-center, paid and given the business ...


fully dressed.


i hope paco had a good time.

37? Guess that qualifies you as elite... I've fallen out of shape and am in the 50's now. Funny, wonder what the average adult is. 70's? More?

Olaf - Glad to hear everything went well. Thanks for making me laugh so hard that my eyes are still watering.

You probably dressed yourself and just don't remember it. I had my wisdom teeth pulled two years ago and when I was waking up the nurses said I had a great conversation with them of which I have no recollection.

But I like your version of the story better. More drama!

Hey, uh, Jen, if you took your clothes off to have your wisdom teeth pulled.... I'm pretty sure that's non-standard.

I know Paco had his way with you, I am sure of it. He saw your shaved legs and KC & The Sunshine Band smile and hair, and I am positive Paco took that for a all systems go landing and flew his fighter jet right into your open runway.

If you feel a little soreness in some sensative area's just thanks Paco.

You are so beautiful to me, cant you see.

You fell for the get naked for shoulder surgery thing?! I thought that only worked at college frat parties. Oh well, I hope you gave Paco a nice tip.

And check for any new tatoos. Paco likes to leave his "patients" with something to remember him by.

What a small world! I know Paco too but had completely the opposite experience. Got the same neck massage, but woke up naked in the alley behind Safeway. Huh..
