I am definitely laying off the Vicodin today; it makes me stoopid. Thanks, all. Yep, good old Ham Artoma and me, we had to part ways.

My experience was eight hours of puking until they wanted to put me back in the hospital. They can give you anti-nausea stuff prior to, but it didn't work for me. Glad your prognosis is good and that the tumor was benign. And if you start looking too healthy and need some more TLC, some violet powder will pale you up in no time. Morgan,

What makes it tricky is that everyone reacts differently to different sorts of anesthesia, and the reactions can change with age (though, of course, Morgan, you are eternally youthful). When I had the amnio when I was pregnant with Sarcasm Girl, I was totally knocked out for 18 hours afterward. The whole procedure took half an hour but left me utterly wasted. Rest is good. Make your near and dear pamper you excessively. 1) Glad the tumor was benign (which brings to mind the image of a slightly dotty professorial type in a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches, carrying a pipe he never lights).

We're a good deal more fragile (and in some ways, tougher) than advertising suggests. So true. We’re a good deal more fragile (and in some ways, tougher) than advertising suggests.

And yeah, minor dentistry makes me a little wonky for a day or two, what is it with that Jack Bauer guy (for example) and his ability to take punishment? The problem with good drugs is the hangover.

Bradley, I'm definitely on the mend, but appreciate the positive vibes. Ironically, Rory, as soon as I said that about the Vicodin, I started having shooting pains, and went and took one. Ah, well. <i>Diga si a las drogas.</i> Thanks, dudes. Bradley, I’m definitely on the mend, but appreciate the positive vibes.

Get better, Morgan! Your mistake was discontinuing the Vicodin and not getting a refill, of course.... I honestly don't think it's age-related, but I also am shocked at how long it's taking me to bounce back. I think we're not used to being that knocked down, and, after seeing way too much violent cinema and tv, where people get smashed in the head and hten are running around jumping ouf of helicopters 15 minutes later, we don't have a realistic concept of just what fragile, easily-unbalanced beings we are, when faced with real physical trauma. Oooh. Get better, Morgan!
