Waiting for surgery at Mass Eye & Ear. Seems I can't travel with the wife without an obligatory anesthetic event.

I guess we should have had a few more drinks last nite, then you could have gone straight into surgery w/out waiting (or paying) for the anaesthesiologist. good luck!

I don't think a few more drinks would have prepared me to have my vitreous roto-rootered, my retina blasted with a Nd-Yag laser, and the whole bit replaced with CO2. But we should have had more libations regardless.

I ain't the best patient, Doc. But I'm trying. The forced proneness may prove (is proving) to be impossible.
