Before and after my circumcision
BEFORE
---------
I wasn't nervous. I think I'd spent so much time worrying about the damn thing that I was all worried out. I think as well, the fact that I was going to sleep throught the whole thing and wake up still numb and relaxed from the anastehetic took a lot of worry out of me.
I spoke to a series of nurses and doctors who were all pleasant. A few questions to make sure I was fit and healthy enought o be put to sleep, some forms to sign - I got my uber-cool little hospital robe to wear too!
Last thing I remember was hopping up on the anaethetists wheelie-bed and being given some vallium and after tha....t........
AFTER
--------
I'm just there eyes open, happy as a pig in shit.
Exactly what I had predicted happened. I woke up without pain and generally feeling pretty good. I was sitting up in no time, then standing up and escorted to a chair where I got to socialise with other post-op people while they fed us cookies and COFFEE so as to get us to the bathroom soon... and when I finally did not a pretty sight, but what else was I supposed to expect??!
I spoke to the doctor and was taken home by friends to watch freshly taped episodes of Law & Order and to munch out on left over takeaway Thai food from the night before.
