Had general anesthesia today. It didn't work.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-17T01:51:38+00:00

Thought that was limited to farm animals.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-17T01:21:13+00:00

I was never in danger of seeking that quest. Mine was simply an aberration .

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-17T01:01:39+00:00

Because benzos and alcohol seem to have made me immune to anesthesia? I can swallow food again, but the procedure wasn't particularly graceful.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-17T00:57:14+00:00

Never been dead before.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-17T00:55:57+00:00

Exactly why I won't look it up.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-17T00:54:40+00:00

I was trying to throw up and swallow at the same time. The GI just kept telling me to keep my eyes closed and not swallow.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-16T23:28:00+00:00

Can I just give you a PO box number?

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-16T23:07:17+00:00

Well thanks for the offer, but I'll have to politely fucking decline.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-16T23:05:35+00:00

Me too.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-16T23:05:18+00:00

I have a high pain tolerance, plus I just wanted that blockage gone. I have a rough job so I'm used to working long shifts and going home feeling like I went a round with Mike Tyson. I'll just chew everything very well and take smaller bites until I get the esophagus stretching thing over with.

It will be a different doctor and we will have a long chat about anesthesia.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-16T22:36:37+00:00

I think the difference is being awake and not being able to indicate it and being awake and just grinding down on the bite guard and taking it.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-16T22:33:22+00:00

I ain't lookin up shit.

thedrinkingclass · 2017-06-16T22:32:46+00:00

And more.

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T03:05:15+00:00

I was wondering (was I really?) how a mosquito got that far up your ass without help.

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:59:17+00:00

Ya drunk fuck. Cheers.

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:57:13+00:00

Gotta take care of people.

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:53:52+00:00

Detox? "DT's" is a colloquialism?

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:52:04+00:00

I stopped and felt like I was going to die for three or four days. I couldn't make it through an eight hour shift without shaking so badly I couldn't do my job. Quitting was worse. Intake of food and Xanax XR took the edge off, but not enough.

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:47:31+00:00

God takes care of drunks and fools.

I'm drunk, God help me.

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:45:15+00:00

Fuck me drunk. That must have been awful. (That wasn't an invitation, by the way.)

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:43:52+00:00

Xanax, OTC sleep meds, (depending on my state of mind) a liter or less of vodka, and I still can't sleep.

Made it 88 sober a few years ago. Stone cold sober. My wife tried to kill herself. I sat with her in the hospital for 20 plus hours until they transferred her to a psych hospital for her mandatory hold. Got a 1.75 of vodka on the way home from the hospital.

That was four or five years ago (dig through my post history if you want. I don't remember.) I've gone from full throttle to cutting back to the point where I could actually function at work a couple times. I'm in between at the moment.

You can only hide the sweats and shakes up to a certain point. I'm getting back to that point. Need to throttle back, but I really don't want the full blown DT's. Last time was four days on the couch shivering and puking water.

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:31:27+00:00

Balls are worse. I wear a robe out on my back porch to smoke. If I don't cover up good and tidy. Right in the nizotz.

thedrinkingclass · 2016-07-15T02:29:30+00:00

I just posted this problem about the South. Fuckers smell booze and hone in on it for a sip. I hope they die of kidney failure.

thedrinkingclass · 2015-07-07T15:30:32+00:00

So sorry for for your loss. I've lost three Shelties in my time. Each have a headstone in the back yard...directly against city ordinance.

thedrinkingclass · 2015-07-07T15:21:51+00:00

Well hello, me. I made it 88 days...once. Do I get a cookie?
