I pondered that very thing and after going under for the lung surgery, I figured it was just like that. You were there, then you weren't. Only difference is you get another chapter after surgery.
Hippie -- If you ever are going in for surgery and they stick the hose into your arm, do this fun experiment:

Steadily watch the second hand on the clock on the wall. If you get lucky, you can see the clock melt... and a split-second instant later, you are awake and groggy, the operation is over, but you can still remember the clock melting. EVER kewl sight.

This is something @boo has missed out on. I never thought to tell him. He's had as many major surgeries as I have, and I was lucky enough twice to catch the "melt". Out of a dozen tries.

Alla youse guys are generally physical messes one way or another. So remember the clock thing next time you go under.

thanks for the tip Unca , I will try that next month when they put me under for some oral surgery , I will watch the clock

last time I went under , Swede told me that she heard me yelling at the surgeon more than once

it is a good thing that we cannot be held accountable for the things we say and do under anesthesia……it should be recorded and given to each patient after each surgery , along with a video of the procedure
 
i want to learn how to use a sextant
It is easy-peasy. One instruction, and you have it locked. One tweeny PITA about living on Everest and vicinity like you do: You have to compensate for the distance up from sea level. This is called the "dip" <-- And since you MUST account for how tall you are and how high above sea level on the boat you are... you can see that living on Kilimanjaro would really screw up your answers if you do not accurately compensate.

Sextants are a snap a sea level. And they work after an EMP.
