Just had one of those complicated retinal surgeries where they pull your
eye out, fiddle with the insides, place a band around the eye, put it
back in the socket, sew it up, and weld the whole schmear together with
lasers. Came out of anesthesia during the operation, struggled for my
life against the intubation, was knocked out again, and had a half day
of the worst pain of my life until suitable painkillers were ingested.
After four days I'm looking better ... more like the guy who's been
kicked by a mule than like the dying gladiator being dragged from the
arena.
They should have scheduled the procedure for April 1. Wasn't prepared
for the pain fest. They said I'd be "sore." No idea that my trigeminal
nerve would blaze like titan Krakatoas and the damage of surgery would
propel me into six hours of 10-on-a-10-scale agony beyond description.
Maybe they were being sarcastic?
