    You must not know much about Tacoma.

    I don't know that I'd raise my kids here ( they're grown ) but there are some parts mainly the north end and ruston area that are pretty solid with beautiful old mansions.

    I was living in Marysville at the time. Quality medical care no doubt.

    All four wisdom teeth out? "Take some ibuprofin."

    Vasectomy? Nothing. Not even ice (balls of steel). Drove myself home.

    I was given vicodin when I was 16 for what was believed to be a stress fracture from football. Didn't do shit. Hurt just as bad, and didn't get me high at all. All encounters with opioid prescriptions since have been a waste. I've never really had any reaction to them, positive or negative. They go down the throat, and nothing's changed with me. Franny.

    Most powerful painkiller I've ever experienced is plain ol' aspirin coupled with a little adrenaline. I had four knee surgeries before my senior year in high school, never mind all of the minor injuries from being the most comically undersized football player ever, and most school days I limped around from class to class, barely able to get up out of my chair or lift my arms above my head, but pop four aspirin and gut it out through warmups, and I'd be full sprint for practice. Every game was four aspirin before warmups and three at halftime.

    I'm not sure I fit in around here: I'm the guy who had to rehab from a fucking aspirin addiction... I still sometimes dose up a bit with the ol' Vitamin A before a track day if I'm nursing one of my frequent old man injuries.

    I drove myself home from my vasectomy, too, after having the marcaine not work. Felt everything, down to my toes and up to my shoulder. Took all my willpower not to throttle the doc snipping my balls

    Vicodin works well with Jack Daniels, or so I recall from a root canal I had in 1992
    I felt everything when I had the V-job and they kept just giving me more shots in my nuts. 4 vials. I went home with my balls inflated with meds and felt every pothole glaring at my wife. It was fucking awful. Hurts thinking about it.
    Where did you have it done? At a cannery?
    Oohh, the 'Ville. Ouch.
    I grew up there, escaped to the UW, moved back while working in Redmond due to housing prices, now live in Tacompton.
    Nothing says Success like Marysville to Tacoma. You've made it!

    Fentanyl is often used with Propofol as a twilight sedation for colonoscopies and endoscopies. Amazing shit. Very short half life. You don’t really go under though it may seem that way and when it wears off you feel like you’ve had the best sleep of your life. Very powerful drugs though, potentially very dangerous. Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine. Pedo Michael got the permasleep.

    True. It’s still a very boring place to live.

    I had midazolam, not propofol

    Another commonly used sedative in conjunction with fentanyl as the analgesic for these procedures. Both combos are quite effective.

    oh wow. I had my first colonoscopy 2 months ago and didn't pay attention to what they gave me to keep me partially sedated through it.

    I probably should have been more careful with my choice of words so as to not to come off as alarmist. Twilight sedation is quite safe when administered by an anesthesiologist. It’s also quite pleasant, so no one should fear having a colonoscopy. Fentanyl becomes quite dangerous when some schmuck slinging heroin decides to cut his product with it. These days when you see an uptick in heroin overdoses there’s a good chance someone was selling it cut with fentanyl.

    I had a colonoscopy a couple years ago and I thought I was asleep for the whole procedure, but I swear I remember my ass getting probed at one point. Guess this would explain why.
