Last time, I used: "Anybody need anything while I'm out?" and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

Thank you for asking this. I’m going under day after tomorrow for knee surgery, so I’m going to pick one of these to use. :)

[–] misterdoctor 16 points 1 year ago

Good luck with your knee surgery, buddy 🙏

Y'all showed up for this post! Lemmy is looking better all the time :)

TW: Existentialism/Death

Not a funny thing to say before going out, but when I was about to do the mask I thought about what it would be like to be totally unconscious after I die, and woke up laughing and cracking jokes. It wasn't so bad during the procedure when my awareness was off 😜

If I'm not back by morning...call the president.

“This could be a software problem, can we try turning me off and on again?”

I said "wow, that's strong".

When I woke up I was like, " It's really good dope". I've never done anything other than weed.

Last time I had surgery, I think I made a comment about the surgeon's good taste in music. I was in Argentina, but the surgeon was listening to US 80s music :)

Now I lay me down to sleep, the chaos take my soul to keep. If I should die, before I wake, the Lords of Chaos my vengeance to take.

Or Joe Pesci, he gets shit done.

Man, that's rough, fingers crossed for you yo!!!

Also, "I'll see you in there."

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I actually did this one.

I was having my wisdom teeth removed. I was like 23. The anesthesiologist was a cute little blonde chick. Apparently the last thing I said before I went under was "Man this girl is a real...knockout..."

I didn't get her number.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Good luck op! I hope it's a success Friday!

"I usually prefer isoflurane, but I'll take a hit of this" only works if they don't use isoflurane.

"So this was what it was like for my victims" if you want to go dark.

[–] Daft_ish 14 points 1 year ago

I only know when you wake up you ask, "what year is it." If you can manage it.

"Hey, who's that tall, hairy woman in white dress behind you?"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Make comments unrelated to your actual procedure.

"hope the transplant goes well." / "really looking forward to this m to f transition"

"Is now a bad time to tell you guys I smoke crystal meth and use other amphetamines?" Real zinger, they love it

[–] TehBamski 17 points 1 year ago

It's funny for you, but definitely not funny to them. They will have to pause and go through everything with you again if they think there is even the slightest chance you are telling the truth. Anthstisiea and street drugs definitely don't mix.
