Yay for surgery going well :D
I remember when I got my wisdoms out I asked if they could do it with local because I wanted to see but apparently the amount of cutting they needed to do (one stupid tooth decided sinus was a great place to erupt, on the bright side I stopped having nosebleeds constantly after that came out) was a bit much for local even with a high pain tolerance.
I found it kind of hilariously contrasting how you said you'll happily try things that are given to you and meanwhile I actively avoid anything that causes altered mental states (including paracetamol which doesn't seem to work unless I take ibuprofen at thee same time so I won't even do that unless proper functtioning is imperative) XD
Being bedridden sucks! Least you'll get lots of reading and writing done. And good luck with the client session!
What? Is this a thing??
Normally I would too. I have never been much of a painkiller taker, but after the stroke I had to in order to function for a bit. I can't take ibuprofen though, it is too hard on my stomach. Time and a place for painkillers of course, but I think too many people take them too often, meaning their pain tolerance doesn't improve.
It was definitely a thing that happened with me XD
Their drug tolerance might improve though x_x
