How are you put to sleep for surgery? Pill? Shot? IV? Epi dural ?

General anesthesia. Sedation meds go through your IV.

yup through your IV. anesthesia is a wonderful feeling in my opinion lol

By the time you try to count to 10, you will be waking up in recovery. I think I made it to 3.... lol!

I got to count to one....LOLOL

Lol this is so funny I didn't get to count. They told me they were putting something in my IV to help me relax, when I woke up I was in recovery. Only thing I remember is being wheeled into the OR and getting on the table.

Me too! I remember him saying I had to wear a pretty blue hat & then waking up in recovery. They put something in my IV bag & that was it:)

LOL...I didn't count either...I remember getting on the table, having warm blankets put on me, then thinking 'alright, lets get this show on the road' next thing I knew, they were waking me up in recovery...and I was irritated...it was such a lovely sleep
