I donated a second time, but that might be it for me for now. I was in the hospital recently, and although I have Medicare, I may be on the hook for the Ambulance ride (even though it was doctor-ordered).
Edit: NOT Covid, I'm vaxxed twice.
I tested negative at the hospital, using the nasal swap test (PCR?).It could still be Covid. Have you been tested?

Good!! I wish you well then..I tested negative at the hospital, using the nasal swap test (PCR?).
Just saw this and absolutely glad to help. Hopefully 2022 eases up for you Geekbabe. You are a trooper!
Glad to see people still donating. There may or may not have been another contribution from me sometime within the past couple of days. Happy New Year!
Right?! I keep telling my wife thatYou are a sweetheart ❤ Thank you so much for your kindness ❤
I understand why you might not want to spend every day doped up but if we're talking actual pain (which I'm ssure we are) I'm such a weenie. Just ask my dentist.Still out of work & in considerable joint & eye pain, my last chemo was postponed till Feb 10th. I have a virtual Pallative care visit on the 8th. Thinking it might be time for a bit of opioid pain relief, particularly at night.

OK. I do understand that drugs r bad, m'kay. But let me put it this way. I've gotten colonoscopy without any drugs - which would have been a nice soothing shot of propofol and some fresh-from-China (or Mexico, or wherever) fentanyl. Both of those scare the piss out of me and I swear that IF I ever again pay someone to shove a 6 foot snake up my ass again, I'm gonna be unconscious. Still . . . nothing even close to dental pain. That's off in a very special universe of its own. Hey, you said you wanted to know where Freddy and Jason are from?I have almost fallen a few times from a knee, hip or ankle joint giving out. My knees hurt so badly I could just scream. Btw, we don’t even want to talk about the dentist. I need an oral surgeon to pull a couple of teeth. I almost wet my pants thinking about it 😢

The point is, if the powers that be are cool with using fentanyl for what is basically a diagnostic procedure, then why not use it for, what is by comparison, outpatient surgery,. Going to have your gallbladder out? No problem Just be careful as you stagger home. On the bright side though, rest assured that we will give you ALL of the good drugs. But if all you're doing is drilling to my jaw bone, stuffing powdered cadaver bone in the hole and then stitching it up. Sorry - no drugs for you. It's called "laughing gas" for a reason. It does precious little to help - that was the punch line. Don't worry, not quitting my job - if I had one.
Off, off topic. Before you go for "routine" surgery to have your gallbladder removed, you are obliged, by statute (where? IDK) to read at least 100 horror stories about life without one. You want ursodiol - ask for it by name.
You wanted painkillers for a colonoscopy?
If the procedure was actually painful you really need a new GI doctor.... by far the worst part was the laxative and even that was nothing.
I had propofol for my colonoscopy….. and apparently had my 1st stroke 12 days later. A brief period of garbled speech & slight numbness in my right hand that was gone the next day. They found the “ fairly significant infarct“ on my MRI after my cancer DX
