Mushy mac and cheese and applesauce. That was my first meal. Of course, I required a mirror to eat properly–my whole mouth was numb and without it I wouldn’t have been able to tell how good my aim with the spoon was. My experience was relatively easy–by the next day I ate a tuna melt.

You are correct. I am an idiot. But actually, he put me out under general and then shot me up with local (I could feel it when I woke up). So I’m only half an idiot.

And I still ate steak that night dangit!
