I’d recommend looking for the [MacLeod tartan](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1862/6557/products/macleodLm_clipped_rev_1_1024x1024.jpeg?v=1493245298). 😃 Seriously though, best of luck, Becks. Do what the doctor tells you. And try not to divulge any secret goat-related SDMB initiation rituals while you are under the anesthetic. 😉 ---

She had her late husband’s eye in a jar on the mantle. Dad said it floated around and looked at him, where ever he moved. He left rather quickly. They wouldn’t let me bring my gallstones home either - and I’d bet those are way prettier than tumors or diseased kidneys! No fun at all :mad:.

All my best. I went under the knife for a hip replacement twenty years ago, and was frightened as hell. I went out under a very bright light, just saw the syringe, and woke up, pissing off a nurse, saying, “I’m trying not to say ‘fuck’”. ---

Beck, I’m sending you best wishes and prayers. I’ve found the anticipation of surgery is far worse than having it. You’ll soon be home with your family and will have many bad,bad,bad stories to share. ---

The surgery date will probably be set in Feb. sometime if Lefty is still healthy. Pancho (righty)will be evicted. I’m nervous. I know I have to have it done. So I’m ok about it. Kinda. ---

Here’s how it’s going down; Appointment with the 'Smooth operater’is at 1pm. I’ll see the lab first. For the vampires to grab bood. And then pee-ing in the cup. . Then to waiting room to, wait for it… ‘WAIT’ (go figure) And, finally see the ‘Smooth Operator’ for the report on Lefty and the eviction of Pancho. To the relief of everyone, (no doubt) and myself! I’m so ready to get O’DOSH accomplished. And, since ‘everythingintheworld’ is about me, I thought I’d share. Thanks for all you guys concern:{{{smoochies}}} I’ll be back later with the details.(:)) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/beck-has-another-bad-bad-bad-kidney-adventure-pancho-and-lefty-are-at-war/845644.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/beck-has-another-bad-bad-bad-kidney-adventure-pancho-and-lefty-are-at-war/845644.md?page=7)
