RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
Today just sucks out loud. Two different jobs telling me that I'm not good enough. I found out it is possible to have a screamin' demon panic attack while so exhausted you can't even speak.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
Apparently, I wake up when supposed to be under anesthesia. 4 surgeries, five times. Every doctor commented on it. (The one who had to operate twice found me super funny.) The first time, I apparently just waved my hand in time to the music, until I slipped back under.
Second time, I apparently woke up and was mumbling something, the second time that surgery, I told him not to mess up.
(They do not give me the paralyzing stuff, something about reacting to other medications, etc. So I just have the oxygen mask unless they need to dose me more heavily and then there's the dreaded tube).
2 out of 3 of the surgeons found it interesting that I wake up and they can talk to me, and get a reaction. Hand movement, (I flipped the one off, when he was asking me a question), etc.Apparently, waking up like this is supposed to be somewhat rare (depends on the study). But I'm also resistant to novicaine (sp), and when I had teeth out with twilight sedation, apparently I kept trying to sing along with the music playing. (so I got more of the juice, so I was extra wooooo when I woke up).

RE: RL Anger
When I was living down south, I was taking the bus to a job interview. A woman got on, sat across from me and started talking to someone she was obviously friendly with. He asked her how that intersection was for working out. She told him she got 1000 THAT DAY.
This is why, like Alamias, I will offer food, drinks, etc.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
@Auspice Dilaudid left in screaming agony, clinging the sides of my hospital bed, and occasionally scratching at my arms in reaction.
I had told the surgeon and his team beforehand I had reactions to synthetics, and morphine was the best bet. It took them 3 days to switch me off Dilaudid.

@Auspice I too, am a fan of weed. IT helps a lot, just a couple hits will dull everything down and I can relax. I never tried Kratom.
As for opioids, The synthetic ones don't work. After surgeries, I've been given Dilaudid, Vicodin, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone.. and the only thing that happened were averse affects. The only one that works for me? Morphine.
And you can guess what my chances of getting a prescription for THAT is.

RE: The Song Game
@hedgehog I thought about a couple options, but I'm going with a hometown boy, and his rendition. Joe Bonamassa - Blues Deluxe Because a good blues guitar will always make me stop to listen.
