    The painkillers or the pain?

    I had an IV once for my wisdom teeth.

    It didn't completely knock me out but I didn't feel any pain and could here everyone talking and was just aware that things were going on in my mouth (probably Louie CK style).

    Anyway I heard the surgeon say "we're done here" when in fact I was not, my holes still needed stitches and I was still in the IV and all that.

    Boy were their faces surprised when I just stood up and started wandering off.

    The nurse described me as the chirpiest person she's ever had in recovery.

    My question is

    FLOPAX STILL A GO Y/N

    no reason why it should not

    if I have not made a complete recovery in a month then I will have much bigger problems

    Yeah, I've heard that. I mean I'll go under if they need to, but it's a simple outpatient procedure, I can't imagine it'll be required.

    And mostly going without painkillers because I am terrified of becoming addicted to them.

    I'll take them! Email them to me.

    I've never gone under general anesthesia. It sounds kinda fun.

  • MadEddyMadEddy Creepy house watching youRegistered User regular
    It's not, really. I mean, you don't remember most of it; at least, I don't.

    My first time under anesthesia was for oral surgery, and apparently in recovery I thought it was the funniest thing that the gurney I was on was Stryker brand. (It was an Army hospital, and I was assigned to a Stryker brigade at the time. Strykers are a kind of armored vehicle. See, it's not even funny, but I would not shut up about it.)

    After my next two surgeries, I vaguely remember freaking out in recovery, but that's it.

    I look forward to the day I get cut open and have an organ removed just to see what I'm like coming out of the anesthesia.

    That's the only reason I look forward to it. Honestly, I think I'd be okay with it just staying dead in there forever unless there's some other reason to go rooting around in peritoneal cavity.

    It's like wanting to go back to sleep but people keep waking you up and you're too groggy to murder them.

    I remember the first time I was on IV pain killers (that shit's instant magic!) I really wanted to beat the hell out of the machine that monitored my O2 level; right when I would get super relaxed and totally into the warm buttery feeling of bliss, it would beep like crazy. The nurses insisted I stay awake and active enough to keep it from going off.

    Yeah a lot of good painkillers are also respiratory...umm I can't think of the word here. Stopper. Slower downer. Depressant? Fuck I don't know.

    That's because you weren't getting enough oxygen. Heavy duty IV Painkillers will relax your breathing rate heavily so they will either keep waking you up or just put some oxygen in your nose.

    The trick is to hit the silence button yourself

    I'm kind of terrified of going under because of articles I've read about people waking up during surgery

  • ASimPersonASimPerson Cold... ... and hard.Registered User regular
    I have only been under once, when I got my wisdom teeth removed.

    I don't remember anything about the procedure. I woke up in my own bed. Apparently I was semi-conscious when leaving the office and getting home from the tales my mom told me later.

    really depends on how we are qualifying "surgery"

    anytime my flesh has been cut open for a medical reason? 20-ish

    anytime I have had to be put under to be cut open? 12

    I've never gone under general anesthesia. It sounds kinda fun.

    last thing i remember from when i had my hernia fixed is them being aight dude time to go and my folks saying they'd see me in a bit and then there's literally just a big hole in my memory up until the part where i wake up in the recovery room next to a guy that looked like andre agassi

    i don't even remember them wheeling me out of the recovery room before the surgery

    it's not unfun but it's not fun either

    it's just

    nothing

    i was under general anesthesia last week

    its awesome


    my favorite part is how fast it hits


    They put the needle in that IV, and poof in 10 seconds I am completely and totally gone

    waking up was pretty easy too, at least this time

    the first time it was hard

    I had surgery when I was a kid
    They asked me to count backwards from ten, then asked me if it tasted like pizza
    I was just thinking "It's just air, it doesn't taste anything. This guy is pretty dumb for a doctor"
    Then I guess they thought I went under and they started to get ready, but I started calling for my mom
    They were like "Oh shit" and upped my dose

    I remember waking up for a brief moment while they were shoving a tube up my nose. Funny thing was, I was more interested than anything else.

    I'm told that while my balls were being operated on I briefly regained consciousness and one of the attendings, extremely startled, moved his hands as far from my junk as possible

    to which I said "no worries man, I used to live in Vegas" before lapsing back into unconsciousness

    They put me under when I was a kid too, but my experience was different.
    My dad says they asked me to count backwards from 10.
    I don't even remember being asked the question. He tells me I never made it past 8.

    I remember one time when I had a local deadening my entire arm I just could not stop shaking, I didn't feel consciously nervous/frightened or particularly cold, just this constant fucking tremor.

    This was like 10 minutes after I'd refused a sedative when offered.

    I got given the sedative anyway.

    Something about it being "hard" to perform vascular surgery when the patient is moving.

    PFffffffffft.

    I've been put under for wisdom teeth removal (all impacted) and a colonoscopy. I remember them asking me to count down from 10, but I don't remember ever even counting. I went down FAST. Then I woke up confused and amazed that I was somewhere ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

    I do remember giggling after my colonoscopy because I started wondering if I'd inadvertently shit on someone while I was out.

    Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside me has become.

    I was too young to really remember any of the times I went under as a kid, but whatever they had in the IV when I got my wisdom teeth removed was great. I don't remember anything, but apparently I was very insistent on getting a cheeseburger afterwards. So my parents actually went to the McDonald's drive through and got one for me.

    the only time i've gone under was for a bad tooth infection when i was like 9

    i remember giggling a lot and the doctors and nurses laughing at me

    and then i woke up with a swollen, numb lower lip and i started crying and drooling but i wasn't sad and it was all very confusing

    Look, just because you're afraid of getting shit done doesn't mean everyone has to be a baby. Don't forget that my doctors, on the whole, have been morons.
