Being put under

[laurenella82 625]

I have been under twice. The first time was for my c section and I only remember they put a tube JP my nose and told me to count backward. The ceiling was shit and it looked like an all white kalidescope (sp?). Lol

For the sleeve the anesthesiologist told me he put something in my iv to relax me and I would get something to put me to sleep when I got into the OR.....I was out long before that. I felt a little high like I had laughing gas or something. Then I woke up in recovery.

The IV cocktail is usually versed. I have had breast cancer with a double mastectomy with reconstruction. I got so used to going under I knew the names of the drugs they used. I love versed and no I am not a drug addict. Lol. It just calms you and it makes you not remember. I don't ever fear going under anymore. They take such good care of you you will be fine.

I've been put under more times than I can count, and it's always the same - a really solid nap.

I didn't even have a drain. I had a anesthesia ball that I had to take out(reminded me of aliens alittle lol) but it was zero pain and more like a tickle

I didn't have anything in my iv ahead of time. I walked into the OR and onto the table. Once they had me hooked up everywhere (within a minute or so), the anesthesiologist said "ok, we're about to give you the good stuff" I said "oh goody!" A split second later I was in recovery.

I loved the happy shot they gave me before wheeling me into surgery. I asked for one of those to go.

The anesthesia itself happens to fast that it's like a comedy. The last thing I heard was "Go ahead and deep breaths..." and I was in sleepy-sleepy land.

The thought of the drain is worse than the drain itself. I was a bit freaked the first time they drained the drain (snicker) but then I got used to it. It's all for better health, so it was a minor thing to go through in the grand scheme of my life.
