Rather than general anesthesia, they used local anesthetics along with sedatives. I don't remember a thing, but when I came out of it an hour later, I felt totally alert and clear-headed, and no pain. I'm impressed. They really have the drugging down to an art. I could eat right away, so I decided to push the limits and went and had Chinese food. Oh yeah.
I went to sleep when I got home, tired more from staying up late than from the drugs. When I woke up and tried to move ... arrrrggh. Whadaya know - my entire body is connected to my abdomen, and the pain killers have worn off. Any movement hurts, but once I get settled, it's nothing more than a very mild dull pain. I expect I should be good for field service tomorrow afternoon, but I guess it's still wait and see.

Being a slacker, I never bothered to buy virus protection for my PC. However, I just ran the Trend Micro online scan, and I'm delighted to report a clean bill of health.
