So, not old enough for hemorrhoid surgery?

Had a bone marrow biopsy in my hip. Not even in top 10. The local anesthetic was quite effective. Maybe location matters.

I think the nurse anesthetist was erring on the very low side.

Oh my sweet Lord, I hated that. The first part of the surgery was them poking around before they actually hit me with the pain reliever. And because I never use painkillers, it knocked me out. 10 days of recuperation and I felt like screaming sometimes as the swabbing was removed and replaced. Too much fun.
