cdrudge Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I've been put under twice that I can remember, once for wisdom teeth extraction and once for a hernia repair. Neither case I had issues with. With my wisdom teeth I was gassed and went out pretty quickly. I remember coming to very vaguely, the ride home stopping at McD's for a milkshake slightly more, and then really waking up several hours later. With my hernia, I was taken back to the operating room that seemed to have been kept at about -35 degrees. I was freezing with just the tiny hospital gown on and since it was a hernia operation, there wasn't a whole lot else to keep me warm. I remember the doc saying I would start to feel warm all over and sure enough, as soon as the meds hit my IV it felt like it was the middle of summer on a sunny beach. A few seconds later I was out. Neither instance do I remember any types of dreams while I was out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Well...things went well, and Lm shcoked at how smooth this went. I got stitched up and was awake and remebering conversation with 35-40 minutes. I never got the countdown, as they juiced me up before wheeling me into the OR and all I remember was a hallway. BTW-that post a few above that was my reply to dmarc was not a joke. I now have a 4 inch scar on my neck beginning just below my left ear. I'm even more badass than before. The cyst was 7 cm long and about 5 around. I'm glad that everything went well for you. That was one bigass cyst!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm glad that everything went well for you. That was one bigass cyst!!!!! It had been stable for some time, but after the surgery was scheduled it took off again. I'm frankly still in shock at how good I feel thus far (knock on wood) - modern US medicine is no joke.

Big Country Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 A few years back I was put under to take the ole camera in the pooter... wife tells me that as I am coming to in the recovery room I kept asking nurses if the liked my arse (They did of course) and then I started laughing very loudly when the woman in the recovery area next to me kept farting quite loudly. She had the same procedure as me so apparently I was ripping away too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
