What I Fear!
I fear anesthesia. I like to have control over my body and know what it is doing, so not being able to remember what happened for a period of time is quite scary to me. I haven't been put under yet, but when I get my wisdom teeth out I will have to. I'm deathly afraid that I will wake up during my surgery and I will be able to feel everything, or that I will have an allergic reaction and die. I also fear the feeling of being under. I don't know if it will feel like I am dreaming or if i'm dead and I can't feel anything...like i'm not human! I'm sure there is nothing to worry about but I have a serious fear of this and I'm really scared. I have to get my wisdom teeth out next summer! AHH! :/

I definitely didn't dream...I was COMPLETELY OUT. When I woke up though, it was a really weird feeling that I didn't remember falling asleep. It freaked me out that I was moved from a chair in one room to a bed in another room and I had no idea how or when. So I understand your fear!
ReplyDeleteGetting my wisdom teeth taken out wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was more worried about the pain afterword than the actual surgery, but luckily it all went okay. As Sam said, I didn't feel a thing after getting an iv, and I woke up resting in another room. Hopefully it doesn't hurt for you as well.
