Thankfully, I had no issues waking up. With the twilight anesthesia, it took effect too slowly and I felt like I was still awake and alert and everyone's voices were weirdly echoing and I thought, "I'm going to go crazy after 30-60 minutes of this! So I don't lose my mind, I'll focus on the thought, 'Twilight anesthesia sucks!'" I repeated it to myself a few times and then I was finally out. *shudder* Horrible experience.

It was like 1 minute I'm being strapped to the table (seriously, I do believe that's the last thing I remember, them lashing my arms to boards extending from the OR table like I was being crucified) the next I'm in this dark cloud of pain so strong I could almost hear it. Of course, there were a couple of snags with that procedure and it took a little longer than it should and then they couldn't give me more meds til I was in my room and, oh, just tons of fun that one. Once I'd had a chance to talk to the anesthesiologist (who, without my glasses on, reminded me of Stanley Tucci) and his 2 assistants and impress upon them the care they needed to take because of the other stuff at work, things started moving so fast I didn't have time to be nervous!

I felt NOTHING until about the time I got home that afternoon. Though I will say my 2nd experience waking up from anesthesia was not so wondrous... more about that later this month. Exactly right!

Of course, this is due to morphine. :) I always (well, twice) experience the post-surgery high where you feel positively GREAT. Of course, this is due to morphine. :)
