I’m off to have miniature cotton reels stuck in my ears in about 3.5 hours – woohoo! I’ve had gromits put in a few times before when I was little, so I’m not too worried.
I think it’s because of the myriad of health problems I already have, that I’m a little nervous about the general anaesthetic. I can still remember having the anaesthetic administered from my childhood operations, which is really cool. I can remember that the Doctors used gas (fart-in-a-can 
) to knock me out twice before, and once it made me faint in the Hospital bathroom. I remember coming out of the toilet cubicle (I was about 7, I think) and my Mum was waiting there for me. I walked towards the sinks and that’s the last thing I remember before waking up a few minutes later wondering wtf had happened and why I wasn’t in the bathroom any more 
I even remember the sensations I felt when they gave me ‘proper’ anaesthetic a few years later. They injected it into a vein on the back of my hand and I could feel it travelling up my arm. I wanted to giggle but didn’t dare move or anything just in case that somehow made the anaesthetic not work hahaha!
So I’m quite looking forward to being knocked out. It’ll be trippy 
Plus, with having a total of 9hrs sleep for the whole week, I’m quite looking forward to the forced rest! It’s just the ‘perhaps not waking up again’ part that keeps popping into my head for some reason. It’s stupid, but *shrugs* I’m a goth so I’m supposed to be morbid aren’t I? :ghost:
I think I’ve got all my stuff together anyway. Oh, how I wish they had wifi in the Hospital I’ve got my DS Lite (with Animal Crossing, New Zealand Story, and Gauntlet), MP3 player, ‘Northern Lights’ book by Philip Pullman (I’m reading His Dark Materials again before the ‘Golden Compass’ movie comes out), and a notepad and pen. I don’t know if I’ll be there overnight yet, but I’d rather be on the safe side :nod:
Farewell internet chums! *salutes*
I also had grommits as a kid. My mum dropped a pile of pans when I was three and I apparently didn’t even look up. I swear they’ve since given me superpower-esque hearing – I can hear an ant fart!
Take care and good luck!

I need something in my ears, they don’t drain properly and they’re always full of fluid when the doc looks in them.
I hate anesthesia. Well, at least the waking up part, I always feel so dopey and stupid when I wake up from it.
You’ve got Animal crossing Wild World? ME TOO! Do ya have any cheats
other than those stupid Replay stuff…
Any way… Get well soon!!!
that was terrible!
