Mood:  d'oh

I was unable to update on myspace. Evidedently the wireless account that you can tap into here at the hospital considers myspace "unaccepablte"information. But I wanted to let everyone know what is going on.

Well The surgery was Jan 18th. I went back to the OR about 6ish. I couldn't believe how the docs/nurses/anesthtists joke around and make fun of each other. Of course they included me in on the fun. But It was very relaxing for me. Helped with the major jitters that I had. Despite 100 fentanyl and an unknown abount of versed I was sill awake. They put that O2 Mask on me which I'm sure had some good stuff in it. I remember fighting it as hard as i could.

****Just for a side note, this all pertains to the fact that I watched "Anesthesia Awareness" on the Discovery Health Channel. not long beforfe my surgery, so this had me freaked out to say the least!!!***** During the show on discovery health the patient was "put under anesthesia, intubated and prepped for surgery. Around this time the patient beins to awake but is unable to communiate with the sugrical eam
So in my little mind I thought that I could fight and fight the anesthesia and then they would have to give me more than normal which in turn would knock me out REALLY GOOD!!
Now I have no idea if any of my thoughts are rational or have any truth to them whatesoever. So I am in NO WAY ADVOCATING ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL TO TRY THE SAME. IF YOU ARE CONCERENED ABOUT ANESTHESIA AWARENESS I SUGGEST YOU TALK TO YOUR PRIMARY CARE PHYCISIAN, ANESTHESIOLOGIST OR SURGEON OR SOME OTHER QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL.
