Hernia's Gone But Where Did The Time Go ?

Finally had my hernia operation.  My little navel node protrusion is gone.  Now this is the first time in my adult life I've had a general anisthetic.  It was one of the oddest things that's ever happened to me.  They started giving me gas and told me I'd be out in a few seconds.  I waited and waited and waited some more.  I was starring at the wall and all of a sudden I saw this:

                    I

- - - - - - - - - - I - - - - - - - - -                

                    I    

Never seen it before.  Had no idea what it was.  Looked at the nurse and said "when are we going to get this started?"  She said "we're done, it's over".  I thought....can't be!  But she was right, it was over.

I had no recollection of going under or waking up.  Scared the hell out of me.  Felt like I was in one of those X Files scenes where Scully comes to and is missing a couple of hours.  Muldar springs into action to track down the missing buck 20 all the while telling us "the truth is out there". But I couldn't find it.  I didn't have Muldur to unravel the mystery,  My novel navel was gone but so was the time.

Now I may have mentioned before that I live in a multi cat household.  I sit down and it's like Justin Bieber wading into a roomfull of preteen micro misseys. Once I got home I sat down and put my feet up. One of my cats tips the toledos at 19 pounds and you don't want 19 pounds of affection flopping on your folds a couple of hours after you've been sutured.  But she did.  19 pounds of tabby torment.  I screamed, she screamed,  we both bolted  to seperate corners for the evening.

I was still a little confused about where the time went in the OR.  I hadn't looked at the finished product yet.  So I went into the washroom. Took a deep, painful breath and stripped to my hips.  Yep they'd brought closure to my exposure.  They had also shaved my stomach which must have taken atleast an hour.  As I looked over my pruned paunch it reminded me of a Cyclops.  Freshly shaven face, one eye in the middle, although this cy guy  looked like he had a patch over his baby blue with the bandages. 

The lost time was still a concern.  What exactly were they doing while I was under their influence. You don't think they made fun of my manhood do you?  I decided to drop my drawers on the off chance they took pity on my ditty and snuck in a penile enhancement.  Nope.  No lost time there, just lost hope.   

I loaded up on Advil, crawled up the stairs and went to bed.  About a half hour in another one of my overly friendly felines figure he wanted to say good night to Ricky. He jumped on the bed and you know where he landed.  Third eye blind.  I closed my eyes, started dozing off but all I could see was:

                    I    

- - - - - - - - - - I - - - - - - - - - -

                    I

What the hell is that?
