Hi, I'm new here and posted this on another thread, but it didn't get a response so I thought I'd post it as a new thread. Just started the process, but have a big worry. It seems like I have a hard time waking up from anesthesia (I was once the first patient in and last one out of recovery and the doc asked my husband if this was normal for me). Does this happen to anyone else, and is this something to worry about? Thanks!

I must state that I also am afraid of anesthesia. My mother almost did not wake up after surgery due to a reaction to the anesthesia. It's simply a risk that I have decided to take. But I have to say that surgery without anesthesia is even worse.
