it is done.
(wow, typing is a bitch, my finger is all wrapped up like a super-D finger-mummy or something!)
i was not lucid, but fairly coherent the whole time, though my memory is blurry. i am not sure why i started talking about UFOs during the operation, which lasted a scant 15 minutes or so. but it turns out that The Good Doctor has himself been to Area 51 and threatened with bulletholes. he claimed he wasn't kidding. freaky.
i was nervous as hell, but man that sedative sure did the trick. i felt wonderful about being there just a few seconds after the drip hit my vein! even now, there's not a bit of pain so far. it's not even sore (yet?). i'm hardly taking any Vicodin at all.
the only sensation i recall was a sort of pricking feeling along the inner edge of the end segment of my left 4th digit (the offending site). kind of like having an X-acto knife perforating the skin at just a millimeter depth, only with the volume turned down to a hair less than 1, if that more or less makes sense. i asked, just out of curiosity, what he was doing at that moment. he (like you can't see this one coming) replied, deadpanning and matter-of-factly, that he was just taking it out.
"IT?! You mean-??!"
"the thing, yes."
"what... nooooo, you gotta be kidding! really?"
"yeah. it's out."
"what's it look like?"
he says it looks like an alien implant.
when they uncovered me (i didn't get to see the actual procedure), i asked if i could see it.
i saw it.
