I went in for an outpatient procedure this week and was put under for less than an hour. When the nurse was giving me instructions to go home, she told me 1) Don't drive today, 2) don't use heavy machinery and 3) no sewing machine!
I hadn't mentioned that I was an avid quilter or that I did sewing of any kind. I thought this was very funny that she said this. I don't suppose they tell their male patients this.....
