    Just one - appendix laparoscopy when I wore a younger man's shoes.
    I walked like a duck for about a week. And did not care for the supplementary drugs.
    My girlfriend at the time made me a ton of cookies and I ate all of those motherfuckers in bed.

    I don't understand why hospitals aren't sending all these COVID-19 patients home. Particularly if they're not vaccinated (meaning they didn't want treatment/help to begin with, whatever their reasons, so why are they getting it now, at a cost of others' lives?).

    When more mild cases of COVID-19 occur -- this has happened all through the pandemic - the patients are often just sent home because there actually isn't much to be done for/against it.

    Almost unbelievable?

    Seriously. It almost doesn't seem possible/likely and, even though I sort of believe it, it kind of makes me question.

    If you live in a red state ... don't get sick or in a wreck.

    If I go find them, how many such stories would it take to convince you it wasn't all bullshit? I saw one a few days ago where the number of hospitals was over a hundred. What do you think it means when hospitals start warning of an imminent collapse of the healthcare system? Idaho is on triage, man. The worst cases don't get treated at all, just sent home - and not just Covid cases.

    Don't bother. I'm sure it's true, as much as I can be. It was more a disbelieving condemnation of someone with such a health issue being turned away, for such a reason, so repeatedly -- the extremity of it. And I'd challenge anybody to read "43 hospitals" and say they didn't wonder about it, at least a little bit.

    To paraphrase Naughty By Nature, if you ain't ever been to Alabama, don’t ever come to Alabama, because you wouldn't understand Alabama. And stay the fuck out of Alabama.

    I had double hernia surgery when I was 27 months old and I remember like it was yesterday waking up in the hospital and I remember the fire truck toy I was given. Needless to say they are my earliest memories.

    Only time I was put under was to get my wisdom teeth out in college. I woke up during it. Couldn’t feel anything thankfully. But puked my guts out when I got home. That was fun.

    But overall very lucky. Other than the weird feeling holes. I played pickup basketball the next day.
