You said you fasted Mini-Me for 8 hours before surgery.  Who recommended
that?  I've always heard to remove access to food no more than 4 hours
before and water no more than 2 hours before surgery.  8 hours is
definitely an entirely different school of though...

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wonder are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."
 
"May it be you journey on
To light the day;
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun"
