Re: Anyone had general anaesthetic?
I had a knee opp a few years ago and it was my first general anaesthetic. Needless to say, I was absolutely bricking it. I could barely stand (they made me WALK to a knee operation!) waiting for the lift to the theatre because of it. Then when I was lying down I'd said I was really anxious and specifically asked for the lady to tell me when she was injecting me with it. Then I woke up in post-op.
I won't lie, it is a bizarre experience, but it really isn't that bad. It's like a combination of a blink and sleeping - you only blink and then you're awake again, but you are aware that more time has passed than in a blink.
