I guess I’ll be drinking a few more Absolut-and-Red-Bulls for ya **Audrey** , while you make due with only having pain meds for comfort. 😉 Bottom’s up! 😃 ---

Damn you, **Demise.** Damn you! As I sit here drinking Red Bull. With a straw. _sob_ _clears throat_ “Hey, can someone spike this for me, please? No? C’mon! Just one lil shot won’t hurt!” 😉 Ah, **Sublight!** I see you have felt my pain. No one warned me about the bricks, either; I thought perhaps they had done the ol’ soap in a pillowcase trick on me, just for kicks. I had to read about this common side effect of general anesthesia online; I guess the evil people in scrubs didn’t want to frighten me. (It’s actually a good thing, though; after 12 hours on a gurney with an IV, I was already a basket case before they even knocked me out.) Good news: the throat is now only marginally sore, and the swollen upper lip from God-knows-what has subsided. I didn’t inquire how I got a swollen upper lip–I could feel the raw scrape where my teeth had slammed into it–and I don’t really want to know. It occurs to me that if someone had filmed my surgery, I would pay a great deal of money _not_ to see it. And come to think of it, I did sign a form releasing any footage. Let’s just hope I never get famous. ---

I would be happy to donate part of my ass to replace what was cut out. I’m already quite half-assed so I can probably cope with being quarter-assed. Get well soon. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/miss-26-your-number-is-up/180821.md?page=1)
