Congrats! ๐
Did you say anything silly when you were waking up from surgery?
Surgical tech of roughly a decade, here: This almost never happens. Of the thousands of patients I've seen wake from anesthesia, exactly 3 of them so far woke up saying funny/weird shit. Two of them were WAY over the top hilariously thankful; and one was completely convinced that we were bullshitting him when we told him his surgery was over and that he was just waking up. He had zero recollection of being unconscious at all: from his perspective, we rolled him into the OR, had him shuffle from his gurney to the OR bed, then immediately shoved him back onto the gurney while saying 'it's all done!'. He was a little more receptive to it once he saw the sutures, lol.
The vast majority of people either want to stay asleep, or they wake up kicking and punching.
aw, thank you! And not as far as I know or remember - I'm pretty sober and alert when I wake up from anaesthesia - I also usually have no headaches or confusion like can be common for others, and that was true this time too.
