Absolutely. My childhood is what happens when two people from the big city move to the middle of nowhere to raise a family and have a farm. Oh man, the stories.



Haha - great reference!

All our animals were free-range and mostly mingled with all the other animals (except cases where it was clearly dangerous). Once in a while you got one critter that just didn't play nice with the others. This particular goat, a pygmy goat no less (small goat complex?), kept thinking he was king of the barn yard and butting, well, everything. Mr. Boar wasn't having any of it, clearly.

The other king-of-the-yard was this rooster that was annoying, but hilarious. He would loop around and attack from behind, likes most aggressive roosters. But this guy took it a step further. When you ran into the barn to hide (as most kids would do when confronted by a lunatic rooster), he would run to the door and peer in with this beady little eye. If he couldn't spot you, he was smart enough to know there was a back door too and run around the barn and look in the cracks back there. He would then stalk around the barn waiting for you to come out.

Sorry - totally just hijacked the thread. But, so, the goat never had anesthesia, so yeah... back on topic now?

The chores.
The stores.
Fresh air.
The goats violated by pigs.
Times Square?

But really one second you are breathing oxygen and the next someone is leaning over you saying everything went well. Then they offer you a wipe to remove the protein treatment.

My wife just had surgery last week to have a tumor removed from her mandible. They will ask you if you get car sick or other motion sicknesses, and if you do they'll give you a patch to combat the nausea you might feel when you wake up (at least this is what they did at the hospital last week). Depending on what you're having done, the recovery could be worse than being put under, my wife's face was really swollen for a few days after and she still doesn't have much feeling in her lip on that side because the tumor was growing around the nerve there.

I was put under once to have my maniscus removed when I was in Jr. High, I don't recall it being a big deal.

We'll meet back here tomorrow evening to insure the online gaming community that our existence continues.

I'm going to have to ask someone for use of their smartphone or laptop if you want to hear back from either of us by tomorrow night. I'll be staying overnight with Jonwin at the hospital until Sunday.

I prefer not to be put under. For my wisdom teeth and other dental work I just request the gas. Lots and lots of gas.

I had gas for my wisdom teeth as well. It was interesting.
As for the stay, 3 days stay for joint replacement at a minimum. When I had the leg repaired it was stretched to 4 as PT was not happy with how I was moving around on my crutches.

Mercy Hospital Baltimore, has a new building that houses its Joint recovery floor (and the OR's) they do not allow outside electronics, (maybe worried about infection) but they do have TV, so maybe will have wifi.

Elinda, I hope all goes well and that you enjoy your new *****.

My rear lower set came in directly underneith the part of the jaw bone that goes up to attach to the upper part of the jaw (the coronoid process maybe? ) [img]http://stemcellumbilicalcordblood.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/stemcell-jawbone.jpg[/img]

So basically they had to remove enough of the bone so they could get to the tooth, remove the tooth, then I think they put the bone fragment back in and let it heal. On both sides.

It sucked. Badly.

You shore have a purdy jaw bone, Kao.
