My only concern would be that you did your job TOO well. Assuming that I would be safely anaesthetized, the doctor would apply pain stimulus (i.e. scalpel, retractor, bone saw, etc.). Being so very well trained by my SWUT, I would immediately awaken to the horror of being able to see what I look like on the inside.

This is not a happy thought.

Wordmaven – Indebtion is a word for a new generation of those accepting indebtment from others. I think with tax season upon us, it’s going to really become popular! If you use it, be sure to give credit where credit is due.

Stacey – All patients can use a SWUT. I would have SWUTtered you with all my skill had you hired me.

Jeff – Sometimes, when my left arm (the one closest to the snooze alarm button) falls asleep, I have to use my right arm to lift up the dead-tree branch of a left arm and strategically drop it on the top of the clock to turn off the alarm. I usually miss about three times, end up with a sore thumb, and/or knock the alarm off the side table. Ergo, I love when my arm dies in the middle of the night.

I fall asleep on my stomach with my right arm under my pillow. Pretty much every night I wake up in the middle of the night and roll my body over while my dead fish of an arm flops back down to my side until it comes back to life on its own about a minute later. If you were a really fast surgeon you could operate on it for that minute and I wouldn’t even feel it.

Somehow I made it through surgery without a S.W.U.T. I woke up because I was cold (neck packed in ice, you know). Of course, once they put an electric blanket on me I went right back to sleep. I could have used you then.

I see you created a new word : Indebtion. It’s cool, I may use it. But what’s the matter with the words that already exist? By the way, may I assume you are dedicating today’s entry to the “Narcolepsy Research Foundation”?
