Yeah I saw this thing on TV where like one in a million people become conscious after being given anaesthetic. They can't move or speak or anything, but they can feel all the pain.

-Edit yeah and good luck with your surgery


I saw that movie. Then he's like a ghost and his mom does a bunch of pills. Very good.

This is my first time using internet since my surgery. It was supposed to be day surgery but they kept me there from Friday morning until Sunday evening. Apparently I had the OPPOSITE problem, I had trouble coming out of anasthesia! And now I'm all drugged up. Thanks for the well wishes everyone. :) I know this will make me healthier eventually!

As for my voice I just sound congested

You are required to eat ice cream constantly until you're better. Srsly.

Hope you're recovery goes well and that any followups prove successful (what ever that may mean, in other words, glad to hear everything is ok and hope that it stays ok).

Either that's an urban legend, or it's just not true in my specific case -- my throat is extremely sensitive to cold at the moment, and will be for several weeks. Even when under the influence of the truly fantastic narcotics my doctor gave me, cold stuff just hurts. :(

Glad you're OK. When I had my tonsils out, I couldn't talk for a week. Everytime I tried, it hurt like hell. But then again, that was the 1970's. I'm sure surgical techniques have come a long way since then.

It's not urban legend. When I woke up, the doctor looked me over and when he was sure I was OK, he sent in a nurse who had a big bowl of vanilla ice cream for me. I ate the whole thing. They released me an hour or so later and I spent the rest of the day sleeping off and on.

So, I'm guessing your throat is just really sensitive now. Give it time.

Yikes! You went home an hour later? I went home over two days later... I guess mine was a bit more serious... or I almost died or something. I did have more stuff done, though (they also took out my adenoids, and reduced my nasal turbinates, and fixed my deviated septum, and removed some wart-like thing from my soft palate)...

Just be glad you didn't have this problem in the 1920's when Roald Dahl had an operation for adenoids when he was a child.

"The tiny blade flashed in the bright light and disappeared into my mouth. It went high up into the roof of my mouth, and the hand that held the blade gave four or five very quick twists and the next moment, out of my mouth into the basin came tumbling a whole mass of flesh and blood.
I was too shocked and outraged to do anything but yelp. I was horrified by the huge red lumps that had fallen out of my mouth into the white basin and my first thought was that the doctor had cut out the whole of the middle of my head.
'Those were your adenoids' I heard the doctor saying.
I sat there gasping. The roof of my mouth seemed to be on fire. I grabbed my mother's hand and held on to it tight. I couldn't believe that anyone would do this to me.
'Stay where you are,' the doctor said. 'You'll be all right in a minute.'
Blood was coming out of my mouth and dripping into the basin the nurse was holding. 'Spit it all out,' she said, 'there's a good boy.'
'You'll be able to breathe much better through your nose after this,' the doctor said.
The nurse wiped my lips and washed my face with a wet flannel. Then they lifted me out of the chair and stood me on my feet. I felt a bit groggy.
'We'll get you home,' my mother said, taking my hand. Down the stairs we went and onto the street. We started walking. I said walking. We walked the full half hour journey back to my grandparents' house, and when we arrived at last, I can remember as clearly as anything my grandmother saying, 'Let him sit down in that chair and rest for a while. After all, he's had an operation."
Holy shit, you're a brand new Doc Sigma!

Holy... holy CRAP... I feel like a cosmic wimp now! Jesus, they didn't even give the kid some aether? No wonder he wrote such dark, twisted stories...

Also, I am now a combination of the Six Million Dollar Man and a Daft Punk song, apparently. Cool!
