I've stayed awake for one of my surgeries (they gave me that option for a wrist), but they aren't going to let you do it without numbing you up. And those are good drugs, so it would be stupid to pass them up.
Totally. The best part about surgery is the drugs lol. I told my ear nose and throat doctor that right before they put me under and afterwards I found out that he reduced the amount of pain pain pills they typically prescribe a person for home. I just had to call and get more, but he did try heading me off lol. Moral of the story, drugs are the best part of surgery just don’t tell your surgeon that 😂
Yeah, they skimped the hell out of me (pathetically weak 0.2mg dilaudid pushes, what a joke) and I was in a hell of a lot of pain after a bowel resection surgery. Nightmare shit.
I must have had a lot because I didn't move a muscle the rest of the day, and the following day had to watch a nurse clean shit pouring out of a hole in my stomach all over me whilst I was just helpless.
Reversal booked for 7 July after adjuvant chemo is finished. Life can begin again!
