Go back to school, little Starling."<br /><br />Wish the film had stuck to the book. A culture vulture like Lecter wouldn't be seen dead guzzling a common country wine plonk like Chianti. Amarone della Valpolicella is so much more like him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-18522507442510323582007-06-09T08:48:00.000-07:002007-06-09T08:48:00.000-07:00i have been terrified of anesthesia (i don't know ...i have been terrified of anesthesia (i don't know how to make the little conjoined ae thingie) since i was 6-7 years old and read a horror story in reader's digest. 1963 or 1964 and still it's with me, as well as all of the other horror stories i've accumulated over the years.<BR/><BR/>i think more is becoming known about anesthesia's long term effects and how it's not quite the simple sleep everyone has assumed for so long. <BR/><BR/>i have never had a general and chose to have hand surgery with a local so as to avoid it. docs have assured me that with the pulse oximeters developed since that reader's digest story :-) there's little chance of crashing on the table. still. <BR/><BR/>helplessness, being out of control, at the mercy of others. not good things. i associate those with anesthesia. not good. <BR/><BR/>i think there are dream evaluation websites . . . maybe you could run that one through. i need to look for one too. had a dream a couple of weeks ago in which a big tumor-ish kind of thing was removed from my body. i've been convinced ever since that i have cancer somewhere and it's my brain trying to alert me. neurotic much?BigAssBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00196713522104157126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-43743028033971806902007-06-05T10:10:00.000-07:002007-06-05T10:10:00.000-07:00I had general anæsthesia once many years ago when ...I had general anæsthesia once many years ago when I had eye muscle surgery. The doctor gave me a choice between general and local, and I didn't much like the idea of watching a knife come at my eye, so I chose general.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I would be so quick to choose it again. It was pretty scary. It wasn't at all like sleeping; it was like being obliterated for several hours, like being erased, dead. Hard to describe, but intense, and it was several days before I felt like I was back in the world.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893392324561217969noreply@blogger.com
