I really think it's just tendonitis. I had this happen a couple of years ago and it eventually went away and never bothered me again until now. Between all this NOTHING I had to contend with while you were away and working extra hours on top of it, I think it was overuse on the computer among other things.

No more surgeries for me unless I absolutely have to. Me and anesthesia do not get along. I warn them ahead of time what they will be up against in the recovery room......

I can't say I have any real problem with surgery or drugs or anesthetic but I still avoid it as much as possible. Before they left me with NOTHING where my gallbladder used to be the only other experience I had was as a kid losing my tonsils. Back then they used ether and that left me traumatized for life. To this day I can still remember that black hole I felt I was falling into.

Maybe it's best you don't have surgery. We don't want you giving away all the secrets to NOTHING while you're under the gas.. lol

NOTHING has secrets?

When I have surgery I have to tell them to NOTHING but double up on the knock out juice. I have a habit of waking up in the middle of procedures.

When they were taking out my appendix I had to tell the doc to hurry up because I could feel him tugging while he sutured me up.

When I had a nasal septum reconstruction I woke up while the doc was stapling tubes in my nose. That was an unpleasant experience.

On the downside, when they knocked me out for my rotator cuff surgery they did such a job with the nerve block that I had a hard time breathing for about 12 hours after surgery because I think they hit me so hard that they numbed up a lung.. lol

If I told you it wouldn't be a secret anymore.. So maybe NOTHING doesn't have secrets.. lol

NOTHING but another great reason to avoid surgery

It's not going under that's the problem for me, it's the havoc I create in the RR after the operation. It's a part of me I know NOTHING about in my regular day to day life. Now, if they want to give me the Michael Jackson juice, I'll take that any day - easy peasy - that's the bomb, and what they often use for colonoscopies. But heavier sedation is usually needed for surgery. I know things have improved over the years though and I haven't had a major operation since the '90's, thank goodness.

That is so funny I can't picture you creating havoc. I don't know what they gave me for my surgery but I woke up remembering NOTHING at all. Last thing I remember was someone saying to me I'm going to put you to sleep now and.....NOTHING

I sure can.. NOTHING to it.. lol

All I can say about all of that is that you're a Marine.....and I'm not - lol.

You probably won't believe this when I tell you but my husband had a deviated septum repaired and refused to be put under so they did the whole thing under local anesthesia. :eek: Well, long story short, the surgeon totally botched the surgery, apologized, and offered to do it again for free. My husband said "No,thanks!" He actually hated the packing afterwards worse than the memory of the "hammer" coming at his nose and just decided to live with it.

I felt bad for him but looked at it as payback for what he did to me when I had a C-section when our son was born. Another fun NOTHING story.......:ohdear:

And then there's that little bit of NOTHING.....:1rotfl:

Here's a nothing story.

So I use to be a HS golf coach and also did HS theater, backstage, sound, lighting sets. The kids that helped me had a lot of fun and some of them continued to help me after graduating. One student in particular stayed on for years into his 30's. We became friends, I was best man at his wedding, and one day he asked me if I could teach him how to play golf. I offered many times over 15 years and I guess now he thought it might be fun. Coincidentally my dad gave up the game and I gave Steve his clubs, balls, bag but he still needed a good driver. Golfsmith had a grand opening and I was ready for a new driver and they were offering 50% off. So we bought matching drivers except that he's right handed and I'm left handed. We went to the driving range and practice green and finally the golf course. We were in a foursome and Steve always went last. New player, not so sure of himself and when we get on the 5th hole I said let's break thinks up, Steve you go first. What Steve didn't know was that when he wasn't looking I switched drivers in the bags after he put back his putter on the back of our golf cart. So Steve begins his setup routine like I showed him. he aims, takes his grip, he puts his feet shoulder's width apart, looks down and his club was facing the wrong way. We all kept a straight face while he looked in all directions trying to figure where he went wrong. It took about 30 seconds before he figured it and then we all couldn't stop laughing.

That's NOTHING but crazy.. He must like pain.. lol

I shouldn't admit this but I passed out when they removed the packing..

That is funny, you are such a prankster and a fungi. Sorry, don't know where to get my NOTHING in here.
