Reply #4: Not exactly a horror story, but funny. [View All]

I had day surgery, where I was put under.

I remember being in the operating room and the nurses hooking me up to various monitors. They put something in my IV, the world became fuzzy and I was out.

Next thing I remember was someone (a nurse) shaking me, "Time to wake up now, c'mon wake up"

My reply was somewhere between a grunt and a groan.

A few minutes later she tried again. I was a bit more aware, but I felt like a lump of lead...a nauseous lump of lead. She turned my head to the left just in case I got sick.

Off to the right, I heard the following comments:

Nurse: Mr. Smith, you need to get back in bed.
Nurse: Mr. Smith, you can't leave yet.
Nurse: Mr. Smith, you don't have any clothes on.

I thought to myself, 'you should take a look at this little spectacle.'

I couldn't. I was unable to turn my head to the right and look. For the life of me, I don't know how Mr. Smith managed to get out of bed. I tossed my cookies when they moved me from Recovery to the ward. (And I love every amusement park ride you could mention.)

It wasn't so bad though - I lived to tell the tale.
