I dont know about you but...

As a kid to me surprises were wonderful, that is as long as they were good ones, not bad ones, sorry for that; I know duh.
Any-who, call me curious odd or just plain weird (but not to my face please) but I did Google my surgery for my septoplasty, sinus, deviated septum, that will be done in my near future, actually I am being vague due to safety reasoning's. 
And it was as simple as Googling it and then going over and watching the specific one from an ENT, ear nose and throat guy/doc in Seattle, fascinating!
Definitely not for the faint of heart or squeamish souls, but very interesting, truly. Although, I gave you the link below if you dare to go there:

I am one of those weirdos that did even enjoy watching all those orthopedic surgeries too, on that medical channel we had way back when we did have cable. Knee and hip replacements I found quite interesting, but thankfully to date I have not needed either of them. Perhaps it was helpful though when I became immersed in the Arthritis Foundation years later from being a board member to a fundraiser to a co-president of our local support group and a certified Aquatics instructor, besides dealing with eight of the more than one hundred different types of arthritis that I do have myself.  

Geez with all these accesses we are so fortunate, and makes learning as a daily process oh so that much easier.
Oh, I did have another rough sleeping night, even with the vaporizer running, icing my head, and having my middle of the night coffee break thus my choice of viewing pleasure, well not really pleasure more like curiosity, and was once again thrilled I will be out, under, as in general anesthesia.
Yep no fish pill or aspirin, again due to their blood thinning capabilities. In fact before, and on the day of surgery I will be allowed only five of my must have medications of my nearly twenty pills I take daily, including vitamins, which are not on the list.
I was surprised that my two anti-spasmodics, Baclofen and Gabapentin were not included; maybe a mistake, meanwhile I called the hospital and the person that wrote this up in the pretest department was gone for the day and a nurse in surgery told me to call the doctor so now I am embarrassed and concerned I am bothering him so close to surgery, oh well... but if I spasm on the table Hubby joked, not that funny, that I could end up with a third nostril!

So now I wait and pray that I did not anger another doctor, especially one with a scalpel.

On that note of I suppose whatever will be will be, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS with Hurricane Danny heading towards the Caribbean south of here... we will be watching him closely all weekend if he doesn't fizzle sooner. One can only hope, can't one?

PSS this just in: Dr. Moss, my ENT just called back and he laughed at Hubby's joke and said, no we wouldn't want that and that I should take the Baclofen and Gabapentin, yeah!
