Absolute Classic Rock on freeview consider Nirvana's Come As You Are to be classic rock.
This makes me feel older than I should (even considering I believe I should have been born in the 50's, so I could have experienced all the classic rock bands first hand.)

What little indications do you get that your life isn't all it's cracked up to be.

What you need is a severe course of getting the fuck away from it all for some proper R'n'R.

I had to get three in my arm the night I went in to the hospital to get a broken ankle diagnosed.
Considering I'd been walking around on a broken ankle for four days, it didn't hurt that much.

Bastards still didn't give me anything good though.

eugh canulars
they were the bane of my life because they never lasted more than a few hours
(, Fri 7 Jan 2011, 4:05, archived)
The first one they put in was crimped in about three different places and was rendered unuseable
due to me bending my arm so much.

Last time I had an op was in the nhs hospital.
my canular fell out at 2am and it took seventeen attempts to get a new one in.

seventeen.

If we're playing
Christmas Eve, junior doctor attempting to put in another canula but finding no veins. Eventually threw it down and stormed out of the room saying he refused to do this. Came back and asked me did I want it in the scalp or the breastbone.

Just to play along.
Had lots of operations within my first year of life (no cool scars though) and also racked up a considerable number of hospital hours by the age of 4.

Haven't been up at the hospital too often since, though when I have, it was mostly for busted fingers.

Slammed my pinkie finger in a big heavy house door when I was 9 or 10 and ripped the fingernail off.
Right at the start of the summer, meaning I couldn't go swimming on our yearly holiday.

Fast forward a year and I bust my index finger by knocking a rock onto it and splitting it, meaning I couldn't go swimming yet again. :-(

Either they were sampling some of the pharmacy or they were retards.
Of course it could be option 3, which is shit veins, in which case you'd be an awful junkie.

did you ask if they'd tried it on anything
other than an orange?

pretty fucking awesome.
I'm glad it makes me throw up though, in a way. otherwise i'd take it up as a hobby.

Have you been on morphine before?
It's a bitch to get off it, I couldn't sleep for a couple of nights and had really twitchy legs.
(, Fri 7 Jan 2011, 3:29, archived)
yup. Had 5 ops in just over 2 years.
oh those twitchy legs. and let's not discuss the constipation, hey?

Oh dear yes.
They sent me home with a bottle, which I haven't touched yet. I might see how it mixes with gin....

i'll buy it off you for a pack of jaffa cakes

A bidding war.
Excellent!
(, Fri 7 Jan 2011, 3:38, archived)
Done.
I'd much rather have jaffa cakes when I'm not in pain.

Actually, I think there were 2 x 10ml doses taken out when I had my first two dressings changed. I did think it was a little irresponsible of them to give me a whole bottle though.

They probably decided that you were sensible enough not to cane it.

Which hospital was this, so I know to avoid it.

JR in Oxford
and also Cork University Hospital which simply didn't have internet

Yeah, I was kinda thinking if I ended up in an Irish hospital, I'd have to send a mate to run to the shops to buy me a prepay mobile internet dongle and a fuckload of data credit to survive.

My dad bought me one
but for some reason there was absolutely zero signal. So instead I got my laptop in and my brother gave me an external HD with a load of films/tv/ebooks on it instead
