I like that quote from monty python, I grew up watching that on our PBS station.
I had a laproscopic partial hysterectomy on July 2nd. I am doing pretty good today. I was in the hospital overnight, and went home the next afternoon.
This time under anesthesia was different from last year when I had my Lap-band. I don’t know if it was the way this hospital handles the pain control, or somethng else. This time I was just set up with 1ml of morphine every hour, wether I needed it or not. I remember hearing the music in the O.R., and people talking, and the feeling of falling, and a sudden stop. I couldn’t tell you what was said, but I do remember the music was loud, and thinking that I thought it would have been quieter. For the next few days I would have “night jumps”, just as I was falling into a deep sleep, my whole body would jump, and I would wake up. I also have the feeling of hearing conversations, but not being able to remember what was said.
Weird and strange.
I guess it’s true about redheads, we do have funny reactions to anesthesia. I knew about the bleeding issues, and deep veins, but just learned about the anesthesia, thing.
I wonder what else happens to us????
