I'll Be Back
I can only thank the doctors and nurses present for not stitching "Twunt" to my forehead or making a total fuckery of my nose when I was in to have my nose rebroken and reset (faceplant off a big swing onto concrete = fail) back at school.

When administering the sleepytime into my veins I started to feel the cold spreading as I was told to count back from 20. So, expecting the zonkout to come soon I uttered in my most manly (for a 13 year old) Eastern European accent "I'll Be Back"......

Cue a very uncomfortable 10 seconds or so that felt like about an hour of the anesthetist, 2 nurses and whoever the other bods were looking down at me, sans any kind of humour.

I awoke with a start in a bed, sat bolt upright and felt all the sickness ever invented, spewed on myself and passed out. I recall my nana playing on a gameboy next to the bed trying to say something but i was away again.


When I awoke, this time deciding that lying down was a good option I Totally Recalled my attempt at funny and along with the sicky smell wafting up from my pjs.....felt like a right buffoon.


p.s next time i was put under a few years later i opted for "Bye" and got a giggle from a nurse.....Win! if only I'd tried that the 1st time :-/

I've been put to sleep once.
I was in the middle of rehearsals for a school choir performance of Carmina Burana, so it seemed the most natural thing in the world to sing the opening bars of O Fortuna instead of counting backwards. I don't know how far into the song I got, or how tuneless my caterwauling was, but the anaesthetist allowed me to wake up again after the op so I guess I can't have been too atrocious.

I'm jealous you were allowed to pass back out after you threw up. After I had hip surgery at the age of 13, I woke up from the anesthesia, threw up, and felt the overwhelming desire to fall back asleep, but the doctors wouldn't let me. I was in some kind of awful recovery room with lots of people screaming and crying and the doctors and nurses just kept talking and talking to me, trying to keep me awake. Worst part of the whole thing!
