Today’s Fun: Day Two

The night nurse (a job title that sounds more slang for prostitute than actual nurse) came in to tell me at 6:30 am that my needle in the leg to map out my heart procedure is going down at 11 am, so I can sleep in. Except for being woken up at 6:45 and all.

I asked another nurse if it hurt, having a camera shoved through your leg.

“No, they give you a local anesthetic shot to numb the area,” she said.

“Does that hurt? How big is the needle?” I ask.

“I’ve never seen it, but probably pretty big. Yeah, I’d bet it hurts,” she fucking replied.

So that sounds promising.

Word is they give you some meds to make you groggy, so I’ve got that to look forward to, at least. I’ll try to blog while high.
