I'm looking for the name of a TV show that showed one surgery per episode. It came on in the late 90's. It was on Discovery, TLC, or a similar channel. The show was an hour long. I remember there being shows about knee replacement, breast reduction, and something laparoscopic. I thought it was called "The Surgery".

What will happen to my washer/dryer if I shut the water off during the dry cycle? Or would turning it to a trickle be a smarter, equally effective idea...? I'm trying to shrink some clothes, but it steams so effectively that I'm getting nowhere. So frustrating as they come out seriously hot. Without the steam they would've been done in 10 minutes tops, but maybe without steam... X-s ?? It's an LG WD-1412RD

I had surgery two days ago, under general anesthesia. When I got out yesterday, it kind of felt weird in my mouth. After some research, I found that my uvula was pretty swollen and it felt like I'm going to swallow it. The surgery had nothing to do with my mouth, but I did have a breathe tube, so my whole mouth felt kind of sore after the surgery. [more inside]
