Still, civilization has its advantages. Hernia surgery, I suppose, is
better than having some guy dressed in mask and feathers waving a stick
with a monkey's skull mounted on it over me.


What's the co-pay with that monkey skull plan?

Good luck with the hernia repair.

As it turned out, they were out of anesthetic and they weren't sure it
needed surgery anyway. So we will give it about three weeks to see if
it goes away by itself. They offered to do it without anesthetic, but I
declined, even though I am sure they could have found several
volunteers here would have paid for the privilege of performing the
procedure.
