    Unhappy

    Well, not exactly. But I am getting 2 sergies done. Oral and something like plastic. For the oral, one of my i-teeth (fangs) is stuck in the gum so they have to cut open my gums and place it right so it will come down since it's to lazy to do it all by itself. (Note: I have had this done before, the other (right) one came down, just having a problem with the left.

    And for the plastic, I am getting my eye lids cut. My eyes are small, creates a problem when seeing and keeping my eyes open especially when in sunlight. So I have to get it done.

    Oral - November 8th
    Plastic - November 17th (right on my birthday! )

    By the way, they are keeping me awake for both sergies! Numbing me, but still...its just you laying there, tired and drugged, knowing that they are cutting you and you can't sleep, just lay there wondering when it's going to be over.

    Hopefully, I will recover and I'll be as good as new afterwards. Just thought I'd share this sad moment with all of you that care.

    I am quite scared. I have had sergery to get my adnoids out when I was younger, I was asleep and when I was asleep, they stuck a needle right in my arse! That sh*t was not the best wake up call! And then, oral sergery for my i-teeth which only one has processed and the other, failed. Why can't anything ever go right? They installed these two cool looking gold chains right in the gums themselves. Looked so cool.

    Wish me luck, thanks.

    when I was 16, I had a hernia (when the lining that holds your stomach in place breaks). I had it fixed and was in for two days. When I came out I could barely walk for a while. once I could walk again, I started to see my friend's again and they found out whenever i coughed, laughed or sneezed, I was in pain. Needless to say that they were making me laugh, sneeze and coughed all evening. bastards.

    Hope every thing goes Ok for you

    good luck mate, i have been in hospital before for a hernia as well, but i have to have an operation on my heart at some point to repair a valve, needless to say i am not looking foward to that, especially seeing that they stop your heart, aagghhh

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    that kind of surgery scares me shitless, becuase if they stop your heart, you are technically dead. I know they attach you to machine to keep the blood circulating, but it's still bloody scary. let's just hope they don't replace your heart with a baked potato, like what happend to kenny in the south park movie. Damn that movie was funny.

    Well, at least you don't have an op planned, and then have an emergency appendectomy the week before .
    And the bastards sent me through both (double general ana-whatsit).

    Well, good luck anyway. I can probably think of nothing worse than seeing someone cutting into your eyes *shudder*.

    Unhappy Try to have a happy birthday anyway...

    I feel for you kiddo. Can't you demand that they put you to sleep for your eyelid thingy (that's the technical term for it I think)????

    You'll be Ok matthew,
    when I was 11 years old, on july 24th 1997, I had my right foot operated on, they had to cut open my hip, and take a piece of bone out, then cut open my foot in 3 different places, put a piece of bone in the top, and on the side(to give me an arch), then stretch out my acciles tendon....
    this is what they did to my acciles tendon...

    Code:
    |      |
    |      |
    |____  |
    |  |   |
    |  |   |
    |  |   |
    |  |   |
    |  |___|
    |      |
    |      |
    
    the side lines is the tendon, and the inside lines is the cuts they made.
    
    Next they did
    
    |      |
    |      |
    |____  |
       |   |
       |   |
       |   |
       |   |
    ___|   |  < they sewed it up here
    |  |___|   
    |  |   
    |  |   
    |  |   
    |  |
    |   ___|
    |      |
    |      |

    then I healed fairly well, and on december 7th, they did it again, to my left foot....


    and i am fine....
    the worst part was the needles...
    the IV, they stuck it everywhere trying to find a good vain...

    the best part was after they found the vain when they gave me the anethstetic....

    they had to give me laughing gas and the **** they pump through the IV, because laughing gas didn't make me go to sleep....

    They said I could be put to sleep. But for better results, they need me to stay awake so they can tell me when to open my eyes to see how it looks. If I go to sleep, the Dr. said that there's a chance I'll have to get it done again which I don't want, so I agreed to stay awake .

    *breathes hard*

    Wow, this is making me nervous.
    They are putting me under anestheia (however you spell it) so I will only be half awake, I won't even care. But see, it's just lying there. You get irritated because you just want it to get over with! I'm sure it'll take about 2 hours. And 2 hours of lying there, awake, with them cutting/asking me to open my eyes and stuff/and then sewing my eyelids back is just something that you don't want to think about going through.

    I can barely breathe now.

    *takes deep breathes*

    Thanks guys for your support.

    I went in for Oral surgery a year ago . They wanted to give me that damn needle of Novicane , I was like What ? You want to stick a needle into my gums . They already hurt due to a really bad tooth cavity . After Hostage negotiations I had them set me up with some Nitro Oxcide , "N20" . Afte a couple minutes breathing that I let them stick me a couple times . I was to busy laughing to really care .

    Good luck Matt ,

    Maybe you can get hypmotized to forget when it's done. That way you don't have to care about what you know you won't remember anyway.

    Surgery #1 - done.

    It was done last night (11/8/2000) and I was numbed, kept awake, but couldn't feel a thing. I did happen to hear the roof of my mouth being cut open though. (I will not get into details) But it's all done now. I am not in much pain (due to the prescription drugs/strong+ pain killers).

    But I'm glad it's done!


    (Notice: Surgery #2 [8 days])

    Good to hear that you survived. Good luck with the next one. Can you believe that Joe Torre came in 5th for the voting for manager-of-the-year in the American League?!!

    Oh you poor bastard. I had four teeth out and you could hear the jaw creaking .

    Nice that you're still with us . Now for the second one - I'm sure you'll manage!

    Well guys, tomorrow is my birthday . But also my second surgery (at 10 AM) . I'm not nervous about the cutting...but what I'm going to look like after . Stretched/bigger eyes . It's scary, but nothing I can do about it. I guess it's the best thing. Thanks for your support.

    OMG! I forgot to write a will, oh well, guess I'll do it now...


    WILL

    To kedaman, I leave some source code.
    To SteveCRM, he can have some gaming source code.
    To Jop, some more source code.
    To parksie, Borland Turbo C++.
    To barrk, want my joke files?
    To Dennis, absolutely nothing !

    ...hehe, just kidding. You can have..:looks around:...the year supply of printer ink? The dead/preserved baby shark that I keep on my desk for company? Hehe .
    To everyone else, some source code so you all won't ever have to ask any question ever again.

    (Megatron, (kedaman who is in the Will, but prolly won't need anything), Aaron, Serge, Yonatan, Martin, etc. etc. You don't need anything, too damn smart!)


    Blah...the Will prolly won't be needed anyway, though .

    Surgery #2 Complete!

    Well guys, I am done with both surgeries. I can't stay on long for a while because I need to rest my eyes. They are swolen, but I made it. Had a hard time trying to open them, I was blind for a day. It sucked, but it's all over and I'm back.

    No more Will...

    Hehe, sorry guys.
    But I'm back!
