OT I probably can't do that

OT I probably can't do that Today I bought some 4" 10-foot treated posts, and then took them to a sawmill to be split down the middle. The owner took one look at them and said, I'm not sure they're big enough to be held [in the machine]. This despite the fact that on the phone he'd told me twice that he could do it. The first time 8 or 10 weeks ago when I gave him all the details and the second time yesterday, when he didn't ask so I figured he remembered me or it didn't matter what I had, that he could still do it. And the words brought back vague memories that iirc, people say this a lot. It's often the opening words from someone I want to hire to do something, and maybe from friends too. Memories are still too vague to give examples. Has anyone noticed this? Do you have any ideas why people would start off this way. I'm still trying to remember if I do this.

I'd better check with the doctor.

Wait, no, I'm sure I that's not what he meant.

Wow.

I coudln't go two weeks. Maybe 28 hours if I had to.

I've gone nearly 7 weeks without being able to eat anything, but not sure it's a fair comparison because they hooked me up to IV's off and on when that happened. Sometimes, when I get sick (different illnesses) I've gone long periods of time w/o being able to eat anything. It's happened maybe 3 times like that, the most recent one was last year, but it ended up being more than 7 weeks off and on.

Had the same surgery some years ago ... it was done in the morning and I went home that night. Did you have a hospital stay or was it the out patient version?

The out patient version. They did it with very small incisions that I may not be able to find unless I knew where to look.

I was home when not allowed water.

Unexpectedly, the nurse called me the day after the operation to ask if I was OK.

My experience was very similar to yours. Did you have any issues with food after your surgery? It took my body a couple of years to adjust, and occasionally I still have problems.
