He will be okay.

Jolly nice in there it is too while I have my oil changed. I even sneaked out to the pub yesterday !   Thank you for the good wishes.

I have developed a form of synethesia now which makes life very entertaining - Too much Tramadol and then Morphine for too long left my poor old brain starved of stimulation and so it started replacing all the sensations it missed getting with pleasurable memories. So, for instance, as I type this I can't actually feel the keys as I tap them but if I think about Corduroy then I can feel that beneath my numb old fingers. A 'sense memory' I am informed. It's all great fun. I can see a sandy coloured carpet and feel like I'm on the beach.

In answer to the question posed by this thread my answer would be to ask if others have anything to say apart from talking Jimmy talk ?  I'm very happy either way. 

And now time for breakfast in the 'refectory'... I secretly suspect the joint is run by i-Gents...

When I had my appendix out last year, I can honestly say they kept me in very tranquil state full of medication that left me feeling I was in a film whilst being wheeled into the operating theatre. But then again, I did keep telling them I couldn't stand the pain any longer, which for a time was true.

I've only been  under once, when I was having my broken nose reset.

Hated that initial feeling of the anaesthetic going up my arm. I'd never make it as a proper junkie. No decent painkillers afterwards either. Rubbish.

When my fiance had her appendix out she got the good stuff.  She was flying around the cosmos for about 2 days.

I have two in-flight entertainment tablets - one for long haul and the other for short trips. They both work, you shouldn't suffer flying, it needn't be a boring experience, mixed with moments of sheer terror in this day and age.

'Suggestive' sums it up perfectly. Things 'talk' to you - You see the right shade of red and you can smell the dusty old upholstery of an old Route Master bus.

Did it work?

I'm not sure about UK and exactly what dope they use but the euphoric effect post GA are well documented. Well - some of us experience a euphoric effect for a few days post GA - others interpret it as anxiety or a problem. Also many anaesthetics are designed to have a memory - short term - erasing effect - often also pleasant . Chevere could speak more authoritatively I guess.

I have learn by expensive experience not to go on line buying in the few days post a GA. Not that the stuff I got was all crazy wrong.

I felt euphoric as I realised the pain I had been experiencing for a long time had been taken care of. I don't think it was the drugs. But the funny thing was, I was expecting to feel some post-operation pain, but I never felt any at all. Not even a twitch.
