Hi Peter,
If one lives long enough there is always a "funny story to come out of these 
situations!  As well as brilliantly and beautifully entertaining! :-)

Regardless of how wild your imagination can be in creating mental colours it 
will never show you the most mind blowing colours as the surgeon is going 
about doing his thing and you see the most incredible drop dead colours 
you'll never imagine while the operation is going on.

No they don't put you off to sleep while it takes place, you're wide awake 
and hear all the chatter and see the most brilliant colours. I just wished I 
had a camera that could capture the colours "seen!" You'll see many 
brilliant colours..... extremely entertaining. And you wont feel a thing.

Then there's the funny moments. You are advised to go to the bathroom before 
the operation and rid yourself of urine. I DID SO! :-)  Now I'm lying on the 
table and the doctor is chatting away about what's happening and about to 
and he says......... "OK Ted just relax and we'll be all done in a few 
minutes.. Unfortunately at that very moment.. I FEEL A MEGA PEE COMING ON! 
:-( I PEE MYSELF A GALLON!" Right there and away it goes. Me thinking...... 
"I guess it was a good idea to wear a pair of my undershorts Depends for 
just such occasions to soak it up!

So I say to him "Well I'm relaxed alright as I just peed myself!!!!!! :-) 
(Muffled snickers from OR staff) Then the good doc says....... "I didn't 
mean to relax that much!!!" Laughter out loud!)

So as long as you stay relaxed with an attitude of...... "OH WHAT THE HELL 
IT'S ONLY PEE!" You haven't got a thing to be concerned about. You'll do 
just fine lad!

cheers,
Dr. ted :-) :-) :-)
