Subject: RE: BS: Ever had a hemorrhoidectomy
Why, yes, I have, at 10:20 AM...

Doc and nurse enter. Small talk. Doc washed the blood away (it's been bleeding a few days, which actually hepled relieve the pressure and thus eased the pain) and cleansed the area. He said he was going to do the freezing, which is the usually the most painful part. The nurse said, "You can grab the side of the table if you want." I did, tightly.

About twenty seconds later he asked me how I was doing. I asked, " Did you start yet?" and the nurse looked at me, surprised. Shortly, the doc said the freezing was alomost done... I felt nothing.

He cut. I felt nothing. He squeezed I felt nothing. He "poked and squeezed" which was slightly more uncomfortable than a prostate exam.

I was handed a sanitary napkin and instructed how to use it. I got dressed as the doc was leaving. As I was leaving, I said to the nurses in the hallway, "Well, it's been a slice, thanks." Always leave em laughing.

It's been 1:40h since the freezing and I don't have much pain but the doc gave me a prescription for Tylenol 3, so..... we'll see.

Whack a blood though.
