Valium take me away

My brother is picking me up at 1:30 this afternoon for my 2pm surgery appointment. The dr's office called yesterday to remind me of the time and indicated there's no need to arrive early and in fact they prefer if you don't. I'm getting really nervous and am just praying I'll be able to sleep after the procedure as they recommend. You're given valium when you get there, I'm going to ask for two. I don't want to wake up and feel anything especially when the "discomfort" was described to me by a friend as having a 1000 eyelashes in your eye and you can't do a darn thing about it.

Several years ago while horsing around with my two brothers in our wooded backyard I was hit in the eye by my youngest brother with a stick. I didn't see it coming so my eye was completely open. The scratch to my eye was large enough that you could see it with the naked eye. I remember to this day laying on the couch while my mom, a nurse, assessed the damage. "It hurts like hell" I told her. She slapped me across the face and said " Do NOT use that kind of language. I don't care how bad it hurts." Well, I don't live in her house anymore so I'll be using whatever language I want today.

Hope Anna's not home later tonight, but if she is I'm so looking forward to some new tunes she's going to send. Thanks girl!!
