Even if you don’t wake up during surgery, it feels like there’s an imprint of the trauma. I had a very long operation and by the time I came round I was in pieces emotionally, with no clear idea of what had happened but still a deep sense of dread. On some level it felt like my body knew what had just happened.
- sidlls 8y agoIt's common for people to be disoriented and emotionally unstable after surgery.
- cortesoft 8y agoAre you sure that isn’t just the comedown from the anesthesia?
- idlemind 8y agoCould be! It’s an emotional moment and not a particularly nice place to wake up. But there’s definitely something at the back of your mind telling you something fairly awful happened. Of course your mind knows this anyway - you know you had surgery and have the scars - so it could all be an illusion.
