Ok little game. There was a thread started by someone having surgery today and someone stated the last and first thing they heard with anesthesia, so I figured it would be a fun little thread!
I'll go first!

Lap Chole
"Ok feel the edge of the bed here, ok good. Now this side. Do you feel centered?"
nod
CRNA "I am going to push a little medici..."
oxygen off
eyes open
"Ok good, I am going to get you some milk and grahms, then I just need you to pee"
My anesthesiologist came to visit me later and said I did nothing but yammer on when they reversed me about not getting to count backwards :) Thank god it was that and not something goofy about my doc! My mom was so paranoid that she had said something silly during her lap appy that she was more concerned about that on the follow up appointment than the checkup!
They asked me to count backwards from 10 & all I remember is getting to 9.
After I woke up to my dad sitting there & I asked if I was already done about 15 times. He assured I was done & I kept insisting I couldn't be as it had only been a few seconds lol.
when I was 17 i had to have all four of my widsom teeth removed and have a part of my jawbone ground down in the process to remove the two bottom teeth....when they started putting the milky white stuff in they said count down from 10 and I got to 9 like most people.....then I woke up somewhat in the middle of the surgery and then fell back alseep. But when I started waking up I was trying to answer the nurses questions but they kept laughing at me. I got mad and when I came back I asked them why were they laughing at me so much. The doctor said all i kept saying to the nurse was that I wanted to make out with her all day...lol
I had anesthesia to pull out 2 wisdom teeth, I remember they said something about valium. When I woke up I told the Dr "I love YOu" back asleep, woke up told the nurse the same thing LOL
I don't remember what they said to me before I got anesthesia but during they said "she is waking up" and then they told me to quit kicking at the doctor when I was reversed..oops! (I think he deserved it though )
i had a breast augmentation procedure back in october of 2004. it was performed in the outpatient surgery section of a hospital.
they placed my iv, the doctor came in and placed his ink markings.. then came the anesthesiologist with the versed. he said "you seem a little high strung.." i said "well i am add/adhd.." he said "time for some happy juice.."
*gives me versed*
"ummm, i see bubbles, am i supposed to see bubbles?? you're hot, you know it? damn fine"
my fiance' told me i was just grinning the entire time i went to the or. i remember moving onto the or table, and then i remember the anesthesia mask.. i remember....nothing after that..
I had an EGD last summer... I'm only 5'4 120lbs.... The nurse told me they had to give me 8mg of Versed, 100mg Demerol, and 25mg of Benadryl.. She said I still talked throughout the entire procedure....
I remember her giving me the first bit of meds....
Her: Don't be surprised if this burns...
me: This oxygen stinks
me: hey.....
her: yes?
me: I forgot what I was going to say.
her: that's ok, go on to sleep
me: hey..... I forgot what I was going to say......
Then at some point during the procedure I remember saying..
"Oh wow, you did put a bite block in my mouth!" Although I doubt it sounded that clear!!
then in recovery
nurse: here are some ice chips
me: I'm so sorry I was mean to y'all
nurse: what? you weren't mean to anyone, but you did talk the whole time
Then I asked what they found about 20 times during recovery because I kept forgetting what she told me... haha. that dang versed!
I don't remember going to sleep but when I woke up at one point I heard, "Oh sh!t! She's vomiting!" and wondered what poor patient they were talking about (it was me!). Then I woke up later with an OPA in and the CRNA leaning over me with a suction catheter. I reached up and yanked out the OPA and vomited on her arm.
I was in for dental surgery during the 80's (pre nursing, just an engineer). They're doing all the pre op meds, and I'm scared out of my wits because my family generally doesn't do sedation well -- we tend to do nasty things like stop breathing, wake up in the middle of surgeries and/or go into anaphlactic shock; I think half of the side effects listed in the med book probably came from some of my hapless ancestors....
So the nurse tells me that in addition to some light sedation, she's going to give me a shot that will "turn off your saliva glands." To this day, I have no idea what she shot into my right buttock, but it hurt, bad. It literally hurt so bad I folded my left foot up under my right thigh to keep my buttock off the gurney.
We get to the OR, and someone looks around, sees that I appear to only have one foot and says, "that's the wrong patient, nobody said anything about an amputation."
25 years old + no prior surgeries + fear + the word *amputation*
I jumped up, forgot my foot was under me (and asleep) and promptly ended up in a heap on the floor, trying crawl around the table and get to the door and kicking at someone who was trying to grab my feet. I remember someone yelling, "put her under before she kicks me to death!"
When I woke up, I remember someone saying, "Don't scare her, she kicks like a mule." i don't know if I actually kicked anyone, but I felt horrible about it for years.
As I was being wheeled to the OR for my knee repair was I'm gonna give you a little versed to relax you. I said ok. Two seconds later I said Wow....that is......
After that I was in recovery and the nurse said welcome back. Gotta love versed and fentanyl. Do the job nicely!
