I had a spontaneous pneumothorax a couple times in highschool, so I ended up having a lung surgery to prevent them when I was 18. To this day my mom refuses to reveal the things I said to her while I was in recovery, and the following days when I was on Demerol. It drives me crazy because there is a lot I could have said, did I mention I was 18? I know she's probably doing me a favor, but it seems unfair.
I've since wondered if I have a big mouth when I'm dosed because that's who I really am underneath my impulse control, or if that's how everyone is.
- TallGuyShort 7y agoHonestly being partially anesthetized and saying something horrific might be my biggest fear.
- bobowzki 7y agoWe are used to it. :-)
- TallGuyShort 7y agoOf the people I'm worried about hearing my confessions or fantasies, people with whom I exclusively have a doctor/patient relationship are the bottom of the list. It's the early visitors I receive in recovery that scare me :)
- bobowzki 7y agoHehe understood.
- cgh 7y agoI came out of knee surgery and after waking up, my first sight was of two female nurses just staring at me hard. I have no idea what I might have said and I don't want to know.
- downerending 7y agoThey know the drill. Sounds like they were just being jerks. It won't surprise me if we start seeing videos on Twitter of post-op people saying offensive things. Followed by the requisite mobbing, cancellation, etc.
