Free Range by Bill Whitehead for February 17, 2023

Leftover Christmas “wraiths”.

I’ll have what they’re having.

shouldn’t they be practicing the limbo?

Dang! I was having such a good time out here! It’ll probably hurt back in there!

So that explains why it took so long to wake up after my surgery on Monday – I just had to finish that article in the 11 year old magazine in the OOB waiting room.

I had one of those after an orthopedic foot surgery. A combination of the pain meds. It was a wonderful feeling of euphoria, but scary at the same time. During the euphoria I also understood in a way that I never could without that experience why folks get hooked on that stuff.

is that where our bodies go in out of body stuff. :\

I know a couple of folks who’ve had out of body experiences without anesthesia — from their own beds, as it were. While interesting, I’m not sure they would call them life-changing.

I love that.

Now that’s the spirit!

I like it! My type of surgery.

So I take it the operation was a success.

Can I wait until my body heals?
