It seems like every night when I go to bed I get up at 1 o’clock to have a snack. Then at 3 o’clock the boys get frisky and want to go outside. I don’t know that I’ve had a solid night sleep since Ivan came into my life. I wouldn’t change the thing, but it sure would be nice to sleep a full night solid… I am not sure that I’m gonna be able to handle another puppy, raising them from a puppy to a young adult is a lot of work. Luckily, German Shepherds are extremely intelligent and they learn pretty quickly.

Joe, are you playing pup tent in there?

My befuddlement is why is there a bathtub spout in a shower with no tub? The drain is at the low point but that is not obvious in the pic. My gut tells me the person who signed off on the plumbing supplies owns a plumbing supply company. I think there are several hundred units in the hotel. That adds up to a lot of useless tub spouts, a lot of additional plumbing work and a new villa for all the bosses involved in the ‘bath spout caper’…
That's for washing the sand off your feet fairly common to see something like that at tourist beaches.

Sorry, but this isn't going to be humor, even though I hope some parts of it will make you laugh. :LOL:

Well, you're 10 days away from "Reality Ranch" . Time to start prep work now, don't know your smoking/vaping history but if it's heavy, you got to start cutting back _now_. Go all edibles if you can, if ya can't, keep the amount of smoke/vapor going into your lungs at a _minimum_.

Anesthetic gas itself is highly irritable to the lungs, so they're going to be throwing out more mucus, which you're going to have to cough up. As I've already told you, a pillow will be your _best_ friend, you will hug it like you have hugged no one else in the world. The biggest factor on you getting the hell out of there as quickly as possible will be your ability to take big deep breaths and _cough_, even though it's going to hurt like hell.

That's why we call it Reality Ranch.

Don't know what your diet history is, although those cheesy potatoes looked outstanding the other day. ;) One thing you definitely don't want to have to do after surgery, is sit on the crapper and strain to take a dump.

I know this sounds gross, but you're getting inside info here.

If you ordinarily don't have any digestive problems, just monitor what you eat and keep the fiber and fat content to a minimum a couple of days before surgery. If you have any problem whatsoever with constipation, it is imperative you start taking metamucil or some type of fiber _now_. Day or two before surgery, really watch what you eat and keep the fiber content to a minimum. Fruit juices, simple easily digestible carbs that kind of thing, low residual fiber is what you want. Anesthesia and opiate painkillers paralyze the gut muscles, so no intestinal peristalsis, so things you eat before surgery sit there... for a day or two. You don't want a bunch of future shit just hanging out in your intestines, causing you to sit on the crapper and strain to pinch a loaf, while you're struggling just to take a big deep breath and cough. :eek: A lot of patients know they're not going to be able to eat for a couple days after their surgery, so they really pig out the night before and eat a whole bunch of stuff that's just going to sit there. That's what you do _not_ want after surgery.

And one other thing and drill this into your head.

Do not pull out any tubes!


You will have tubes down your throat, your nose that goes into your stomach, one goes into your dick to drain urine, and lots of tubes will go into various veins and arteries. Even though you will be heavily medicated, there will still be some discomfort and in moments you may think, "I'll just pull this damn thing out and it'll make me feel better."

Trust me, it will _not_... especially the one in your dick. It has a big balloon attached at the end and if you try, you'll certainly wish that you didn't. o_O

Harley just said I need to shut the fuck up because giving you all this inside info will cause you to want to cancel your surgery. :(

Surgery like you're going to have, while strange and alien to you, the people who will be taking care of you do this shit everyday, every week, every year. They're used to it and they will take great care of you. Just do what they say, and one more time:


Don't pull out any tubes!

Certain combative patients who won't stop trying to pull out their tubes, have their arms and legs tied, it's called four point restraints. And don't even get me started of what five point restraints are . :eek:

Harley just now interjected, since you are so physically fit and in great shape, you're going to do just fine. (y)

And the very best part about this, is that you will have almost _no_ memory of the two or three days after your surgery.

It's after that that the fun begins and why I wrote this wall of words for ya, so you'll be prepared and know that you have to cough and won't strain when you have to eventually take a dump, and most importantly won't try to pull out any tubes. ;)

Take care man!
All good points 👉 mate - and yeah - I have considered all of them already - and will fast all day Sunday - the day before surgery - to clean my system out - and just drink water and some coffee - I'm used to intermittently fasting these past 3 years - so won't be a problem - I can't remember the last time I was ever constipated - and have a very fast metabolism - usually I pass from my back end - what goes down my throat within 12 hours max - today I quit smoking/toking anything for the duration - that's 9 days before surgery - plenty of time to clear any residual mucus from my chest/throat - I've been heavily medicated before for serious back pain - so understand how it slows the whole system down to hardly a crawl - and I have also had a catheter fitted when I was in San Francisco General - after a big ruck - when I was 20 years old - that required surgery on my leg - so understand how they work also - I'm fit as a fiddle 🎻 for a 64 year old - and know that I really do need this valve fix and bypass - so I aint gonna fug around in hospital - taking pipes out - so risking my recovery -

- and I appreciate that you have taken the time to write all that -
