Diane A - Nope you walk in & the next thing you do is wake up in the recovery area.
ReplyDeleteKrissy - I walked back and laid on the table then I woke up in the recovery room. When you wake up, you will feel sort of funny as if you are light headed and floating but that should pass after awhile. It will also make you loopy so you might cry or be extremely excited, mad, or happy but it should stop by the time you get home. My sister was extremely happy and kept saying the stupidest stuff, my brother talked nonstop, and I burst into tears at one point.
ReplyDeleteinsane in the membrane - Yes it's a different feeling for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou get the IV in your hand...people are talking to you...you won't
really understand much but you might remember once you wake
up. The GA/IV dude/dudet will inject the IV and you'll feel a tingling
go up your hand and then you're out.
Most people aren't drunken or sick after GA. They wake up in the
recovery room (like I did) sometimes fall back asleep again (like I
did) and then once the nurses see you're fully capable of staying
awake, you're taken back to the waiting room (usually in your bed
like I was.)
I felt really fine after and I remembered everything right until I passed
out. I actually even remembered crying for no reason...maybe when
I was getting wheeled to the recovery room but I didn't fully open
my eyes...it was odd.
This was for my wisdom teeth too. The GA and IV is WAYYY better
than going in a chair and being awake for this. It was like a short
nap and I felt really great after.
Good luck if this is what you're getting !
