In hospital a few years ago...
...with a rather nasty cyst on my ballbag - probably the result of too much wanking whilst picking my nose. A small operation, out within 48hrs, I was told. Thanks to the miracle of a good job at the time, I had health insurance and was in a private hospital. Checked in and had just got into bed when a nurse popped into the room and asked how I was. I told her it was a bit sore (it bloody was) and asked what she could do. "I can give you pethedine" she said. Now I thought pethedine was what they gave to pregnant women but have always been generally happy to accept free drugs on an experimental basis.

A very short while later I was floating on a cloud of pure contentment and, as it turned out, that was how the time there went. When I got bored, I told them I was in pain and asked for more pethedine. They were more than happy to oblige and, since the insurers were paying, weren't in a hurry to kick me out either. I was there for over a week and they would have kept me longer (didn't think I should be home on my own) had my g/f not insisted on driving me to my mother's for Christmas. (not sure why I agreed - I can't stand my mother).

For weeks afterwards, I had people telling me how they came to visit and how I was so off my tits that I didn't even know they were there. I have vague recollections of friends in my room, with no real detail. And, strangely, of walking to the local shops for a paper, whilst wearing a dressing gown and with an intravenous drip thing sticking out of my hand. Lovely floaty feeling, though.

So the moral is - if you're ever offered pethedine, take it. Especially if it comes with free cyst removal.
