Terrified Of Anaesthesia!

I would feel so much better if I were sure I could get something like that to relax me! -

@ Bob Marley, and being back in your college days! That made me laugh, and I needed a good laugh! I don't think that nurses should yell at patients who are waking up from anaesthesia! That's very rude! -

Oh wow--yeah, I can't imagine myself becoming combative! Sounds kind of scary--I'm glad that you weren't too upset over the experience (or weren't aware of it). I'm pretty scared of gas--even more so than an IV, because needle pokes I can deal with but the idea of inhaling a gas that will put me to sleep would have me holding my breath! If they use gas, I sure as heck don't tell me when they're turning it on or I'd be so afraid! -

I'm more frightened of being put to sleep, not so much waking up in the middle of things (nearly impossible), and I'm just about 100% sure I'll wake up at the end of things--although when you consider major surgery like this, it's something you think about in passing. I think it's the "losing control" part of it. I've never been given anything stronger than a local anaesthetic, really.
