... the last thing I want is surgery. I will try just about anything to avoid it, and preferably to also avoid narcotic painkillers. They make me so sick to my stomach I lose 10-15 lbs if I have to take them very long, and while I've got enough of a cushion right now that I could afford to lose that and still stay within my healthy BMI range, that hasn't always been the case (one time took me down to 97 lbs).

I guess it gives new meaning to when people have called me (or rather, my sense of humor) "twisted"... heh
