The strongest dread of the unspeakably violent act is reserved for the 11th hour, as my body was being shaved bald neck to toe(Go ahead, giggle.), the vallium cocktail is about to lead to a spinal epidural, about to lead to a morphine drip, while the fentanyl took effect and a machine took over my breathing.
