Scrabbler
Yes, having surgery is scary.
8:41 am

Nerve block first--injection of long-acting anesthetic into my neck. That lasted about 12 hours. Then general anesthesia.

I just have to brag about Caitlin Clark of the Iowa Hawkeyes womens basketball team. They are going to the Final Four after she posted a 41 point triple double. The first EVER by either a male or female player in the history of the NCAA tournament!! Sadly, her t-shirts are SOLD OUT on line! She is just AMAZING!! GO HAWKS!!!
