Not that I've been "away" but I had some minor surgery last week
(removal of a plugged mucous gland inside my lower lip. It was
surprisingly inconvenient for a couple of days :) Less so when I got
to the point that the pain of the, um, pain was less inconvenient than
the side effects of the painkillers.
I went through that exact same procedure a few years ago. I remember
leaving the clinic thinking "that wasn't so bad". Then 45 mins later
the anaesthesia starts to wear off and I'm racing to the pharmacy to
buy the pain killers I'd been prescribed, which I initially thought I
wouldn't have to buy because, you know, I'm a Man, and I need not of
those wimpy medicines.
That was *exactly* my experience. I was surprised when the doctor gave
me a prescription for painkillers. I was *very* surprised when I saw
it was a narcotic. But by the time a got to the drug store it was
becoming evident that I was going to need it. (But I was very glad to
be off the meds by the next day - those are no fun.)
It's amazing how painfully irritating 3 stitches inside a lip can be.
I don't know how many stitches I had but it required a subcutaneous
layer of stitches and then an outer, closing layer. All of the
"dissolving" type, so I don't have to have them taken out, thankfully.
It's also amazing how far I overestimated my manliness.
Nah, you just underestimated what a determined doctor with a sharp
scalpel can do! (Of course, *I* should have known better...)
