can you expand upon the concept, "complications ensued"? (Geez, dumb question of the week) Who asked that? (I knew it, that polvie kid again) Mr. Epolvo, did you read today's chapter? (No, of course not, you were struggling to get through your comic book) Mr. Epolvo, what is it exactly about "complications" that you don't understand? (Other than how to spell it, how to pronounce it, or what it means) Well, Mr. Epolvo, let me see if I can explain it to your understanding (Christ, HOW many days is it to retirement?) All <ggg> epolvo. I'm not trying to sound mysterious. It's just that telling people about your operation (in a serious vein) makes for a verrry borrrrring person. What happened was that after I went home the first time, I developed incredibly severe pain spasms. I knew that some pain was normal, so it took me a while to give in to the fact that these pains could not be normal. I went to the ER at dawn the following day, and in a scary chain of events it turned out that my surgeon had punctured a muscle (definitely NOT S.O.P) which was hemorrhaging blood at every motion. That led to admission, a morphine drip, a CT scan, and monitoring with a dozen I.V.s and assorted tubes until the crisis has stablized just short of the need for transfusions. To say I was totally whacked out (and hallucinating from the morphine) would be a great understatement. I did survive and I'm definitely on the mend now. It wasn't a pretty sight. So, 'nuff said about that subject. Thanks for being interested enough to ask. My best, JC BTW, during my hallucinations, I did imagine all those eloquent things you said when I first went in. :-)
